Une collection avec des vêtements fabriqués à partir de matières anti-uv
Protection solaire : des vêtements aux matières certifiées UPF 50+
Wearing sun-protective clothing during a hike, trail run, or day of gravel riding is the most reliable way to protect your skin over time, without reapplying sunscreen or forgetting. Lagoped women’s UV-protective clothing is made with UPF 50+ certified materials, designed for intense outdoor activities, PFAS-free, and manufactured entirely in the European Union.
Women’s UV-protective pieces for active outings
The women’s range meets sun-protection needs for the entire body, from base layers to wind-protection layers.
Technical T-shirts and shirts
The ROKA Women’s Technical T-shirt is made from recycled polyamide sourced from carpets and fishing nets. Its UPF 50+ certified fabric makes it a suitable base layer for long outings in exposed areas. It is available in five colors, including magnolia, mango, ochre, teal, and graphite. For routes involving prolonged sun exposure, the RAICHO Unisex Long-Sleeve Technical Shirt covers the forearms and neckline, two areas that are often overlooked when hiking.
Shorts and pants
For the lower body, UPF 50+ certified materials are used throughout the women’s hiking and trail shorts range: RIOUPOU Women’s Hiking Shorts, PTARMIGAN2 Women’s Hiking Shorts, NYELES Women’s Hiking Shorts, and MILVUS Women’s Trail Shorts. For full leg coverage on the most exposed routes, the RIOUPOU Women’s Hiking Pants and PTARMIGAN2 Women’s Hiking Pants provide extended protection without weighing down your outfit.
Building complete sun protection for outdoor activities
A UPF 50+ certified T-shirt protects the areas it covers, not the rest of your body. Complete sun protection in the outdoors combines several pieces: a technical UV-protective base layer, shorts or pants made from certified material, and protection for exposed areas such as the nape of the neck and face. The SOWA Unisex Cap and NAGALAKA Unisex Windbreaker complete the outfit for the longest periods of exposure or the sunniest days.

Frequently asked questions about women’s UV-protective clothing
Which UV-protective clothing is suitable for women’s hiking?
For hiking in strong sunlight, the foundation is a technical T-shirt made from UPF 50+ certified material, with short or long sleeves depending on the expected exposure, paired with shorts or pants made from the same category of material. In the mountains, where UV rays are more intense than in the valley—approximately 10% more UV for every 1,000 meters of elevation—it is better to cover more skin and not rely solely on sunscreen. At Lagoped, all women’s technical hiking T-shirts, shorts, and pants are made from materials with certified UPF 50+ protection.
How should you dress to protect yourself from the sun during outdoor activities?
Textile sun protection works on a simple principle: the greater the area covered by UPF 50+ certified material, the more effective and long-lasting the protection. For uncovered areas—the face, nape of the neck, and hands—sunscreen remains essential. A cap with a structured brim, such as the SOWA, protects the forehead and upper nape of the neck. For long outings or days in the high mountains, a long-sleeve shirt such as the RAICHO significantly reduces the amount of exposed skin without weighing down your outfit.
