Description
Comfortable sun protection for canoe passengers and sandcastle engineers. The high neckline protects the vulnerable area at the back of a child's neck, and long sleeves provide full coverage.
- Made of polyester and LYCRA® fabric that resists chlorine and has a UPF 50 rating.
- Flatlocked seams prevent chafing from sand and salt.
- Long sleeves and high collar extend coverage.
Fit guide
Technical garments, designed for specific activities have features that aren’t always adaptable to general use. For example, cycling clothing is longer in the back and arms. Activity aside, the fit of MEC clothing falls into these categories:

Tight, with no room to spare.

Very close fit, with a bit of room.

Generous, but not oversized.

Oversized with lots of room for layers.
All MEC men’s and boy’s pants are regular rise.
