Long sleeved sun coverage for warm-weather hiking
Rab says:
Ideal for covering up and keeping cool in hot, sunny weather, this breathable long-sleeved tee is made with UV-protective Dryflo™ Solar fabric to shield you from harmful rays. With a wearable, casual fit, it's a versatile tee for active mountain use.
When the sun’s beating down and temperatures are soaring, this technical long-sleeved tee is designed to keep you cool, sweat-free, and protected. It’s built with a lightweight, breathable Dryflo™ Solar fabric that wicks quickly and stays comfortable, whether worn as a base or standalone layer. It also offers UPF 40+ sun protection, ideal for exposed trails or climbs with little shade. Finished with an odour control treatment, it’s perfect for multi-day adventures, packing down small and still useable on day two. With a wearable, casual fit, it's a staple tee that every mountain person needs on their kit list.
Our Verdict
The Force LS Tee feels designed around steady mountain use rather than outright speed, balancing breathability with noticeably better coverage than lighter layers. The Dryflo Solar fabric handles sweat well and adds reassuring UPF 40+ protection for long days on exposed trails, while the regular fit keeps it comfortable under a pack. At 154g (Medium), it feels light enough for warm conditions without becoming overly thin or delicate.
I also like the thumb openings and clean seam layout, both of which help the sleeves stay comfortable during long hours on the move. For trekking and summer hillwalking, it feels very well judged.
