Our sun shirts allow you to spend hours outside in the sun without overheating or cooking your largest organ in UV radiation. Lightweight, airy, stylish, and fun, sun protection as rad as you!
Our silk-weight fabric is feather-light, silky smooth, and cool to the touch, engineered for all-day sun protection without the heat. So breathable you'll forget you're wearing it, so protective you'll never want to take it off.
91% Repreve® RPET (recycled polyester made from post-consumer plastic bottles), 9% spandex
Safe, premium performance yarns: Our high-quality, fully traceable yarns are sourced through sustainable partners in the U.S. These materials meet rigorous chemical safety standards and are independently verified for over 1,000 harmful substances like BPA and PFAS through OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification.
High-quality, responsible printing: Our products are printed using heat transfer sublimation, a printing technique that is widely considered to be the safest for both workers and the environment. It requires no water, eliminates dye from entering water systems, and minimizes ink and fabric waste. All the inks and dyes we use are also OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified.
Recycled materials, minimal waste: Our commitment to environmental responsibility starts with sustainable fibers and yarns. We use synthetic yarns made from recycled plastic bottles, which helps remove and repurpose existing plastic.

Flat $5 shipping on every U.S. order. Shipping is a real cost, we keep it low, flat, and honest. No inflated prices hiding “free” shipping, no pressure to over-buy to hit a threshold. Just a simple $5 that encourages more intentional ordering, which means less waste and fewer emissions. International orders just pay cost to ship, which is calculated at checkout.
Orders are lovingly packaged using minimal packaging and eco-responsible materials, and shipped from our wonderful partner warehouse in Pennsylvania within the same or next business day. We’ll email you with your tracking info as soon as your order is shipped.

I ordered a size up in hopes of having a looser fit, but it was tight. It is a shame because the fabric feels nice and comfortable.
Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to leave this feedback. Our women's sun shirts are cut to be more form-fitting. If you would like an even looser fit than sizing up in the women's provided, you may want to try the men's sun shirt. These are designed to be a looser fit. Shoot us an email at hello@waterlust.com if you want to give it a try!
Soft, full coverage and comfortable. Swam and kayaked all day. Loved the hand coverage and pony tail hole.
I love the material that Waterlust uses. It dries so quickly! I couldn't make up my mind between the blue and the pink hoodie. I chose the blue, but may have to get the pink too.
