Our Sun Shield Tee is silky soft, lightweight stretch jersey with a UPF-50 rating that blocks 98% of the sun’s harmful UV rays. It is not a chemical treatment - it's a mechanical quality of the yarn so the protection won't diminish with washing. Super comfortable indoors and out and perfect for all sorts of applications beyond sun protection too: skin conditions, wound care, topical medications, works great as an anti-anxiety calming aid that can be worn all day.
They really reduce heat absorption too: We tested our black Lab, Luke, out in the sun with an infrared thermometer gun and found his fur was more than 40 degrees cooler under the Tee than without – it’s wearable shade! Want extra cooling? Get it wet and your pup can enjoy the evaporative cooling effect!
Recommended For: Sun protection, regulating body temperature, indoor wear, outdoor wear, protecting skin conditions or wounds, mild anxiety, increasing cuteness
Wear Tip: The center chest seam is designed to be on the outside – we want pets to enjoy maximum comfort, especially in that tender area.
Harness Help: These close fitting pullovers are perfect worn under a harness, with no adjustment needed. No fussing with ill-placed harness openings in this snuggy wonder! Plus, wearing this under a harness has an added benefit of reducing or eliminating chaffing!
Washing Instructions: Machine wash warm, tumble dry low or hang to dry.
Proudly made in the USA!

Suppletec™
This luscious waterproof fabric, developed just for us by one of the top sportswear mills in the world, has a velvety soft knit exterior and a contrasting recycled polyester mesh interior. Bonded between these two layers is an eco-friendly waterproof barrier that will never wash away for lasting protection.

Sun Shield Tee Fabric
An ultra smooth, lightweight, breathable athletic jersey that features a UPF 50+ rating and blocks 98% of harmful UV rays. This is achieved through a tight mechanical weave, so sensitive skin won't react to a chemical wash.

Bamboo Rayon/Organic Cotton
All the softness and great fit you love from the Cirrus Fleece, now with the considerable benefits of natural fibers - this material is made with organic cotton, bamboo rayon, and a touch of spandex.
