The ICON UPF50 Long Sleeve Paddling Compression Top

The ICON UPF50 Long Sleeve Compression Top has been developed for paddlers who demand outstanding sun protection, comfort and performance throughout the summer season.

Constructed from Intertek-tested technical performance fabric, the material delivers a certified average Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) exceeding 1,000, blocking more than 99.9% of harmful UVA and UVB radiation. Although independently certified as UPF50+, the fabric significantly exceeds the highest recognised protection standard.

Its lightweight single-layer compression fabric provides excellent breathability, efficient moisture management and a natural cooling effect to help regulate body temperature during warm-weather paddling. The super-stretch skin-fit construction moves naturally with your body, ensuring unrestricted freedom of movement whether you're training, racing or touring.

Originally developed for ocean paddling, surfski, sprint and marathon racing, the UPF50 Compression Top is equally suited to recreational paddlers looking for the highest levels of comfort, sun protection and technical performance throughout the summer.
