Women's Face & Neck Protection UPF 50+

Targeted coverage where it matters most. Solbari’s range offers face and neck sun protection as part of a complete sun protection routine. The collection includes the Curved Face & Neck Gaiter, a tube-style design that covers the neck, chin and lower face, and the Sun Protective Face Mask and Balaclava, which extend coverage across the face, neck and upper chest.

These styles are lightweight and breathable, with features varying by product. Flatlock stitching is designed to reduce chafing. Available across Sensitive and Coolasun fabrics, the range supports active outdoor use and customers who prefer a softer fabric feel.

Solbari UPF 50+ fabrics help block at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays through the fabric, helping protect covered skin from ultraviolet exposure. Use with sunscreen on exposed skin, sunglasses, shade and other sun-smart behaviours. For additional coverage, pair with flap-neck sun hats or learn more about UPF 50+ sun protection.

Gaiter or face mask: choosing the right style

The Curved Face & Neck Gaiter is a fitted, tube-style design that sits comfortably around the neck and can be pulled up to cover the chin and lower face. Its curved shape follows the natural contours of the face without bunching. Available in Sensitive fabric, it is designed for soft, breathable coverage during activity. It is a versatile option for hiking, cycling, gardening, beach days and outdoor sport, and pairs easily with UPF 50+ arm sleeves for women.

The Sun Protective Face Mask offers more coverage, extending across the face, chin, neck and upper chest. Made from Sensitive Collection fabric, it is designed for customers who prefer soft fabric and broader coverage across exposed areas.

For active, everyday use, select the style and fabric that best match your activity, preferred coverage and fit. Check the individual product page for current fabric and feature details.

Covering areas where sunscreen can be harder to maintain

Sun protection for the face can be difficult to maintain with sunscreen alone because sunscreen may wear off with perspiration and contact, and the neck and jaw can be missed during application. UPF 50+ fabric provides ongoing coverage for the areas it covers. Sunscreen remains important for exposed skin and should be reapplied as directed.

Solbari’s fabrics are designed to be lightweight, breathable and soft, with flatlock seams on selected products to reduce friction. Product features vary by style. Learn more about Solbari’s fabric technology or explore women’s hiking gear.
