Who It's For
This shirt is made for the rider who spends real time outdoors, from trail riders and endurance riders to anyone schooling through the middle of a bright summer day. If you burn easily, hate reapplying sunscreen on your arms every hour, or simply want lightweight coverage that does not trap heat, the Ultra Breathable Long Sleeve Shirt was built for you. It also crosses over easily into tennis, pickleball, golf, and hiking.
The Problem It Solves
Bare arms take a beating on the trail. Hours of direct sun lead to sunburn, and short sleeves leave your forearms exposed right when you are too busy riding to reapply sunscreen. Long sleeves usually feel too hot, so most riders give up coverage for comfort. This shirt removes that trade-off: UPF 50+ fabric blocks the sun while staying breathable and wicking sweat away, so you get full-arm protection without overheating on long, hot days in the saddle.
Key Features Breakdown
UPF 50+ Sun Protection
The fabric carries a UPF 50+ rating, meaning it blocks the vast majority of UV rays across your arms, shoulders, and torso. That is protection you do not have to reapply, which matters most on long rides far from the barn.
Breathability
Despite the full-length sleeves, the shirt is engineered to be ultra breathable so heat escapes instead of building up. It keeps air moving next to your skin, which is what makes all-day coverage feel comfortable rather than stifling.
Sweat-Wicking Fabric
The material wicks sweat away from your skin to help you stay dry as the temperature climbs. Less clinging fabric means fewer distractions and better focus on your horse.
Stretch and Fit
Made from 85% nylon and 15% spandex, the shirt is extra stretchy with a flattering, athletic cut. It moves with you through every posting trot and two-point without pulling or riding up. Because the fabric is so stretchy, we recommend sizing down if you are between sizes.
Fabric Feel
Riders describe the material as buttery soft against the skin. A reflective "A" logo adds a subtle bit of visibility for early-morning or dusk rides.
How It Performs on a Long Trail Day
Picture an all-day hack under an open sky. By mid-afternoon, a short-sleeve rider is fighting sunburn and re-slathering sunscreen at every gate. In the Ultra Breathable Long Sleeve Shirt, your arms stay covered and cool, sweat wicks away instead of soaking in, and the stretch fabric never restricts your position. You finish the ride comfortable instead of crispy, with one less thing to think about.
Styling and Pairing Suggestions
For trail and schooling days, pair the shirt with the Drift Pant, a lightweight athletic and hiking pant that keeps you mobile off the horse too. Heading to a lesson or the show ring? Layer it under the Contour Breech for a clean, competition-ready look with the same all-day comfort.
