With skin cancer affecting 1 in 5 people during their lifetime, wearing UPF leggings is one of the simplest ways to enjoy the sun responsibly. Our UV protection tights guard against sunburn, premature ageing, and cumulative UV exposure, so you can stay active outdoors with confidence. Explore styles including scrunch bum, ankle-length, full-length, high-waist, mid-waist, swim, and casual designs.

Can You Get Sunburn Through Leggings?

Our sun protection leggings are built differently. Each pair is made from a tightly woven fabric, tested and certified to UPF 50+, blocking approximately 98% of UV rays. That means you can spend hours outdoors without worrying about UV exposure reaching your skin through the fabric.
