Lika tech hooded longsleeve "Walton"

Knight’s armor against the sun - Walton EditionIf you read our blog you already know: we’re big fans of the outdoor family Walton. In 2024 we invited them to Switzerland – and while they were busy discovering our country with wide-eyed excitement their four kids captured their adventures in drawings. We’ve now turned those memories into a print on the Lika Hoodie – our all-year all-day all-round sun-protection superpower shirt co-developed with the Walton family.In addition to the visible artworks we’ve added an invisible feature to this product: UPF 50+*. Invisible? Sounds like a superpower (and it is). With UPF 50+ Lika protects more comprehensively from the sun than conventional shirts. Thanks to its thumb loops Lika won’t ride up along the arms and the hood is sewn in a way that ensures the neck stays protected – even during wild movements. Furthermore the high- quality Econyl® fabric made in Italy is light stretchy and super comfortable to wear. Lika dries incredibly fast and is immediately ready for the next adventure making it the ideal companion for hikes or hours of splashing in the lake. Lika is like a suit of armour against the sun. Just much more comfortable.*The UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) has been tested according to the European standard 13758-1 for proven effectiveness corresponds to the SPF (Sun Protection Factor) in sunscreen and protects the skin it covers from harmful UV radiation. But beware: Every superhero has her Kryptonite. If the product is very tight on a child or if the fabric is stretched or wet the UV protection can become less effective. Wear and tear pool chemicals and saltwater also diminish its protective powers over time.
