Women's UV-protective swim tops: coverage for the beach and water sports
A women's UV-protective swim top covers the upper body during sunny days, swimming and water sports such as paddleboarding or surfing. Easy to pull on over a one-piece swimsuit or pair with bikini bottoms, it offers a versatile option that combines high fabric sun protection, comfort and elegance. Made from recycled ECONYL® fibre, Canopea styles feature feminine, close-fitting cuts in timeless shades that are easy to coordinate by the water.
UPF 50+ protection for the upper body
All Canopea women's UV-protective swim tops are UPF 50+ certified and block more than 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays without chemical UV filters. Depending on whether you choose short or long sleeves, they cover the torso, back, neckline and arms. This built-in fabric protection remains effective in water. Complete your sun protection routine with suitable sunscreen on exposed areas, such as the face, neck and hands.
A technical top that feels comfortable in the water
Made from soft, breathable and stretchy fabric, our women's UV-protective swim top moves naturally with your swimming strokes without restricting you or feeling heavy. The technical fabric dries quickly when you leave the water, resists chlorine and salt, and helps prevent uncomfortable rubbing during sports. You can keep it on comfortably throughout the day, whether swimming, paddleboarding or simply relaxing on the beach.
Create a versatile, elegant beach outfit
A UV-protective swim top pairs easily with high-waisted bikini bottoms or a two-piece bikini, and can also be worn over a one-piece swimsuit. A solid top with printed bikini bottoms creates a chic contrast, while a monochrome set offers an understated, sophisticated look. This versatility lets you adjust your beach outfit to your preferences and the amount of sun exposure throughout the day.
Choosing and caring for your Canopea UV-protective swim top
Choose a size that naturally follows your body without squeezing the shoulders or restricting movement. Consult our detailed size guide to compare your measurements before ordering. After every swim in the sea or pool, rinse your UV-protective top thoroughly in fresh water. Gentle hand washing and drying in the shade help preserve the fabric's suppleness and vibrant colours.
Frequently asked questions
Can I swim in a women's UV-protective top?
Absolutely. Our UV-protective swim tops are made from lightweight technical fabric that does not become waterlogged and dries quickly. They let you swim, surf or paddleboard freely while providing sun protection on covered areas.
How should I care for a UV-protective top to preserve its performance?
Rinse your top in fresh water immediately after every swim. Avoid hot machine washes and drying in direct sunlight: choose gentle hand washing and dry flat in the shade to preserve the fabric and its UPF 50+ protection.
