Whether you're conquering the mountains or basking on sandy beaches, Vapor Apparel has you covered with our range of technical clothing. In this blog post, we'll showcase two of our standout products: the Long Sleeve Solar Shirt and our recycled fiber Eco Sol Long Sleeve. These versatile garments are designed to meet the unique needs of outdoor enthusiasts, ensuring comfort, protection, and style in any environment.

So, is our sunwear a hiking sun shirt or a beach sun shirt? The answer is both! The same lightweight shirt that protects you from the sun and keeps you cool in the summer also protects you from the sun and provides a layer of warmth in cooler months.


The Solar Long Sleeve Shirt: Your Ultimate Trail Companion

When it comes to hiking, sun protection is key. The Vapor Solar Shirt is specially designed to shield from harmful UV rays while offering excellent breathability and comfort, making it the perfect hiking sun shirt. With a UPF 50+ sun protection rating, this shirt acts as a barrier for the skin during long hours on the trails. Constructed with moisture-wicking fabric, the Solar Shirt keeps the skin dry and comfortable, even during strenuous hikes – say goodbye to discomfort, and hello to performance! The Solar Shirt also features superior odor control, to ensure a fresh and confident trek. Available in a variety of colors, and in both long and short sleeved styles, embracing the beauty of nature without compromising on comfort or style just became that much better. 

The Eco Sol Long Sleeve: Embrace the Sun Responsibly

For those who find solace at the beach, the Eco Sol Shirt is the perfect companion. Made from recycled water bottles, the Eco Sol Shirt protects from the sun, while embracing Vapor’s philosophy to preserve and protect the environment. The Eco Sol Shirt offers UPF 50+ sun protection and a range of colors and styles, making it easier to soak up the sun responsibly and fashionably. What sets the Eco Sol Shirt apart is its environmental impact. Made from recycled microfiber polyester, the Eco Sol lightweight soft fabric ensures maximum breathability – whether swimming, paddleboarding, or simply lounging in the sand, this beach sun shirt is designed to provide optimal comfort and protection.
