Where can I get quality UV-reflective clothing??

Duffman'05

Hello folks,

I'm in need of some 100% UV-reflective clothing not just for training but for everyday life when the sun is shining due to a skin condition. Could anybody recommend some good brands or places to check out

Ideally I'd be hoping for the following but I'm not sure if some of them are impossible to get all-in-one?

1 Custom measured/tailored because it is very important that not even a gap between say sleeves and gloves is exposed

2 light

3 Breathable - My most important criterion. My condition also leaves me with severely reduced capacity to sweat and thermoregulate - overheating is a constant problem. But is it actually possible for a garment to be breathable/aerated and still block out UV? I'm assuming no but hoping yes

Any advice would be immensely appreciated, thank you!!

Saucony & Brooks both do long sleeve UV protective running clothing. AFAIR it is equivalent to SPF50. You could always have it adjusted with pop buttons between connected items of clothing.

Karrimor do a range of outdoor wear that's UPF 30+.
Keep an eye on Sports Direct for offers.

You could also get thumb loops sewn onto any long sleeve top if they didn't already have them.

They would prevent the sleeves of the top riding up no matter what position your arm is in.

These keep the arms cool and provide sun protection.
Do not know if the sun protection is 100%.

For running in hot weather recommend a white foreign legion style hat. This protects your neck from the sun.

Columbia do a lot of SPF clothing.
