UPF 50

This lightweight, water-resistant windbreaker is the type of versatile travel layer you’ll be glad you packed. It offers UPF 50 sun protection along with a full-zip front, hood, and elastic cuffs to help block wind and light rain. The real bonus? It folds into its own pocket for easy packing, making it perfect for hiking, sightseeing, or breezy beach days.

Made with recycled materials, this sun hoodie is both sustainable and functional, offering UPF 50+ protection in a featherlight, breathable design.

This sun shirt pulls double duty as a protective travel layer and a casual top, thanks to its breathable, stretchy UPF 50 fabric and easygoing silhouette. The popover style features a zip collar for adjustable ventilation, along with a hidden zip pocket for stashing keys or a card. It’s a smart pick for long travel days when you want comfort, sun protection, and just a little bit of structure.

More elevated than your average rash guard, this elbow-sleeve version works just as well for swimming as it does for walking along the boardwalk or grabbing lunch post-beach (I often wear this as a shirt). The UPF 50 fabric blocks 98% of harmful UV rays, and the slightly looser fit offers more coverage without clinging. It’s available in solids and prints and looks great paired with high-waisted swim bottoms or shorts.

The back pockets add a casual touch for moving quickly from a yoga sesh to brunch date.

I’m not typically a fan of the swim dress, but I love that this one truly looks like a cute, summery mini dress. The scalloped bottom and floral skirt drew me in. When it comes to swimwear, though, this one-piece offers a bit more coverage without sacrificing mobility or style. It features UPF 50 sun protection and a sleek, A-line silhouette that’s comfortable for swimming or strolling along the shore. With built-in soft bra cups, it’s a great pick for travelers who want support and ease in one.
