Sun Protection for Riders: Why You Need a Sun Shirt for Every Ride
If you spend a lot of time outdoors with your horse, then you know how important it is to protect your skin from the sun. Long days spent in the saddle mean prolonged exposure to harmful UV rays, which can lead to sunburn, premature aging, and even skin damage. At Divine Equestrian, we’ve designed our Sweet Lady Sun Shirts with UV protection, moisture-wicking technology, and all-day comfort in mind. Here’s why every rider needs one in their wardrobe.
The Importance of UPF Clothing for Equestrians
Equestrians often forget that their skin is exposed to the elements for hours at a time, especially during competitions and clinics. Sunscreen alone isn’t always enough, which is why wearing UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) clothing is essential. Our sun shirts are crafted from fabric designed to block harmful UV rays, offering UPF protection to help prevent skin damage during long rides. Pair it with our Comfort Grip Leggings for full coverage that protects your arms and legs without sacrificing breathability.
Moisture-Wicking Technology for Maximum Comfort
Riders often find themselves working up a sweat—whether in the arena, at the barn, or during an intense training session. Our sun shirts are designed with moisture-wicking technology to draw sweat away from your skin, keeping you cool and dry even on the hottest days. This feature isn’t just about staying comfortable—it also helps regulate your body temperature, allowing you to focus on your ride instead of overheating.
Pair your sun shirt with our Dignified Competition Breeches for a complete outfit that works just as hard as you do. The breeches offer the same moisture-wicking properties and are designed for performance, ensuring that you stay comfortable and stylish from morning to evening.
Stay Stylish While Staying Safe
At Divine Equestrian, we believe that you shouldn’t have to compromise on style to stay protected. Our sun shirts come in classic colors like black and royal blue, making them a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Whether you're schooling at home or competing at a show, you can look polished while staying safe from the sun. Pair your sun shirt with our sleek Comfort Fit Belts and you’ll have a stylish, functional outfit for any occasion.
