Hands

UPF clothing for hands and everyday sun exposure.

Hands are exposed during driving, walking, golf, boating, gardening, travel, and ordinary errands. They also tend to be one of the first places where cumulative sun exposure becomes visible.

For many people, hand sunscreen is easy to skip because it washes off, feels greasy, transfers to steering wheels or golf grips, or simply does not become part of the daily routine.

In dermatology, the hands matter for more than appearance. They are chronically sun-exposed, often show visible photoaging, and certain skin cancers on the hands may be managed with extra attention because of their location.

Design answer

Discreet hand coverage should feel useful, not medical.

Salt & Shade uses the quarter-zip silhouette as a natural place to extend coverage through the sleeve and cuff. Thumb-hole coverage can help cover the backs of the hands when worn that way, while still feeling like a refined everyday layer.
