Who It's For
This shirt is made for the rider who spends long days in the sun and wants coverage without the heat. If you compete across the hunter, jumper or equitation rings — or simply want a schooling shirt that looks polished enough for the ring — the Hunter Long Sleeve is built for you. Riders with fair skin or those who want to protect their arms from all-day exposure will especially appreciate the full-sleeve UPF 50+ coverage.
The Problem It Solves
Most riders looking for a long sleeve sun shirt worry about one thing: overheating. Long sleeves protect your skin, but heavy or non-breathable fabric traps heat and leaves you sweaty by mid-morning. The Ultra Breathable Hunter Long Sleeve Show Shirt answers the question "how do I stay covered from the sun without cooking in the ring?" with ultra-breathable, sweat-wicking fabric that keeps you cool while UPF 50+ blocks the rays.
Key Features Breakdown
UPF 50+ Sun Protection
The fabric carries a UPF 50+ rating and covers your full arm from collar to cuff. That's the highest standard of sun protection built directly into the shirt, so you stay covered through long show days and schooling sessions without reapplying sunscreen to your arms.
Breathability
This shirt is engineered to be ultra-breathable. Even under full-length sleeves, the fabric lets heat escape so you stay cool. It's the feature that makes all-day long-sleeve wear comfortable in warm weather.
Stretch
Built from 85% nylon and 15% spandex, the fabric is extra-stretchy and moves with you. Nothing pulls or restricts through the shoulders and arms as you ride, so your position stays free from the first fence to the hack.
Fit
The cut is flattering and designed to move with your body. Because the fabric is so stretchy, we recommend sizing down if you're between sizes for the cleanest, most tailored look.
Fabric Feel & Finish
The material is buttery-soft against the skin and sweat-wicking to keep you dry. Classic pearl-snap cuffs add a traditional finishing touch that looks right in every show ring.
How It Performs / Real Use Case
Picture a full summer show day: an early hunter round, a mid-day equitation class, and a late-afternoon jumper trip, all under open sun. Instead of changing shirts or reaching for sunscreen between rings, you stay in one breathable long sleeve that keeps your arms covered and cool from warm-up through the final hack. When the classes are done, the same shirt schools just as well the next morning.
Styling or Pairing Suggestions
For a complete show-ring look, pair the Hunter Long Sleeve with a pair of clean competition breeches. The Contour Breech offers a high-rise, knee-patch fit for the ring, while the water-resistant Lined Competition Breech in white completes a classic showing turnout. Both keep the polished, coordinated look this shirt is designed for.
