Product Details
The Descente unisex sun-protection shell is built for the most demanding solar conditions. With a UPF 170+ rating and 99% UV-blocking performance, this jacket eliminates sunburn risk for all-day outdoor exposure. The 88% nylon, 12% spandex fabric is feather-light and genuinely breathable -- the rear panel mesh ventilation channels active airflow to prevent heat buildup during vigorous activity. The wind and water-repellent face fabric sheds light precipitation while maintaining a comfortable wearing temperature. The full-coverage hood with extended brim protects the face, neck, and ears without restriction. Ergonomic biomechanical cut allows free movement for fitness, outdoor sport, and active commuting. Multiple colorway options and a clean design make this a year-round layering essential from spring through early autumn.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does UPF 170+ mean in practical terms?
UPF 170+ means the fabric blocks over 99.4% of UV radiation. For context, UPF 50+ is considered excellent sun protection -- UPF 170+ provides an additional margin well above the recommended threshold for full outdoor exposure.
Is the shell suitable for water sports or just hiking?
The shell is appropriate for any outdoor activity with sun exposure -- hiking, cycling, paddleboarding, fishing, or beach use. It is water-resistant rather than fully waterproof, so it handles splashes but not immersion.
How does unisex sizing work -- does it fit both men and women well?
The shell is cut with a slightly relaxed silhouette that works across body types. Women often size down one for a fitted look. Men typically find their standard size works well.
