Made for daily coverage
Sun protection is easier to wear when the shirt is built for the heat.
Helios pairs UPF 50+ fabric for covered skin with hidden ventilation, wicking, quick-dry performance, and four-way stretch.
Comfort changes the equation
The hard part isn’t knowing to cover up. It’s finding something you’ll keep on.
Covering up sounds simple. Keeping long sleeves on through heat, sweat, and movement is the real challenge.
A better daily layer should feel light, breathe where heat builds, move without restriction, and dry quickly after active use.
Helios is designed around those needs. Its UPF 50+ fabric covers the skin beneath it, while hidden mesh ventilation, wicking, quick-dry performance, and four-way stretch support comfort through active days.
“It’s cool, it wicks, keeps you cool and dry and it’s silky smooth comfortable. Most importantly, as a physician and melanoma skin cancer survivor, it protects me so I can enjoy the beautiful gift of the great outdoors.”

Straight answers
Questions before you choose
Will long sleeves feel too hot?
Helios is designed for warm outdoor conditions with mesh ventilation, moisture-wicking fabric, and quick-dry performance. Customers regularly describe wearing it through full summer days.
What size should I order?
Helios has a modern athletic cut with four-way stretch. Choose your usual size, or size up if you are between sizes or prefer a roomier fit. The product page includes measurements for sizes S–5XL.
Does the UPF protection wash out?
The UPF 50+ protection comes from the fabric construction rather than a temporary topical coating, so normal washing does not remove it. Follow the care instructions on the garment.
Does a UPF shirt replace sunscreen?
No. UPF clothing protects only the skin it covers. Continue using appropriate protection on exposed areas and follow your clinician’s advice.
How quickly will my order arrive, and what if it does not work for me?
Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days, and standard shipping usually takes another 2–5 business days. Helios is backed by a 99-day money-back guarantee; check the product page for current return details.
