Florence Marine X Adapt UPF Long Sleeve Hooded Shirt – Heather Steel Blue

The Florence Marine X Adapt UPF Long Sleeve Hooded Shirt in Heather Steel Blue is an ultra-soft, versatile UPF 50+ sun protection shirt designed for long days outdoors. Combining technical sun protection with a comfortable brushed finish, the Adapt is made to perform without the shiny, synthetic feel often associated with traditional performance tops.

Built from a 94% recycled polyester / 6% spandex fabric, the Adapt delivers breathable comfort, moisture management and flexible 4-way stretch for unrestricted movement.

UPF 50+ Sun Protection

The Adapt carries a UPF 50+ rating, providing excellent protection during extended periods outdoors.

Long sleeves provide coverage through the arms, while the integrated crossover hood adds additional protection around the head and neck. This makes it a particularly versatile layer for sailing, boating, hiking, fishing, travelling, training or simply spending a long day outside.

Ultra-Soft Everyday Performance

Where Florence's AIRTEX range is focused on maximum breathability and high-output performance, the Adapt takes a softer, more everyday approach.

The fabric has an ultra-soft brushed feel with a matte finish, allowing it to look and feel more like a comfortable everyday top while still providing the technical performance of a dedicated UPF shirt.

That makes the Adapt particularly useful when you want sun protection that can transition easily between outdoor activity, travel and casual everyday wear.

Breathable & Moisture-Wicking

Florence combines breathable, moisture-wicking and antimicrobial fabric to help keep you comfortable during extended wear.

Moisture management helps move perspiration away from the body, while the antimicrobial treatment helps maintain freshness when you're travelling or wearing the shirt repeatedly during outdoor adventures.

4-Way Stretch

The 4-way stretch fabric allows the Adapt to move naturally with your body.

Whether you're paddling, sailing, hiking, fishing, travelling or training, the flexible construction provides freedom of movement without the restrictive feeling of a heavier long-sleeve layer.

Crossover Hood for Extra Coverage

The integrated crossover hood adds useful coverage from both sun and changing conditions.

The crossover design provides more coverage around the neck than a conventional hood, complementing the long sleeves and UPF 50+ fabric to create a versatile sun-protection layer for extended outdoor use.

Heather Steel Blue

The Heather Steel Blue colourway complements the Adapt's matte, brushed finish and gives the shirt a more casual appearance than a traditional technical UPF top.

This understated styling is part of what makes the Adapt particularly versatile — it's technical enough for demanding outdoor use while remaining comfortable and casual enough for everyday wear.

Why You'll Love It

The Florence Marine X Adapt Hooded UPF Shirt bridges the gap between technical sun protection and an everyday long-sleeve top.

That makes the Adapt an excellent option for anyone who wants one shirt that can move between sailing, fishing, hiking, travelling, training and everyday wear without looking out of place.

For anyone searching for a premium UPF 50+ hooded sun shirt in New Zealand, the Florence Adapt delivers an excellent balance of sun protection, comfort and versatility.
