Sun-Ready. Wind-Proof. Weightless.
The Problem With Spring and Summer
There is a particular dilemma that arrives with warm weather: the sun is out, the days are long, and the last thing you want is to be weighed down by heavy layers — but stepping outside without protection isn't an option either. For women with UV sensitivity, a history of sun damage, or simply a preference for keeping their skin healthy and even-toned, the warmer months require a smarter solution than sunscreen alone.
Heavy jackets are too hot. Thin cotton shirts offer minimal UV protection. And most so-called 'summer layers' are either too casual, too warm, or simply not designed with active women in mind. Saltum Sports set out to solve that problem entirely with its Lightweight Sun Protection Jacket collection — a range engineered specifically for spring and summer, for women who are always moving and always outdoors.
Protection That Doesn't Feel Like It
The defining feature of the Saltum UV jacket is its 100% polyamide fabric — a premium technical material selected for its exceptional UV-blocking performance, featherlight weight, and silky-smooth hand feel. Where other sun-protective garments feel stiff or plasticky, the Saltum windproof jacket drapes like a second skin. You put it on, and within moments you forget it's there. What you don't forget is the confidence that comes from knowing your skin is protected.
The fabric achieves what most warm-weather layers cannot: it actively cools rather than traps heat. The weave is engineered to allow airflow while blocking UV rays, keeping your body temperature regulated even on the brightest, most exposed days. Whether you're walking to a tennis court, cycling through a park, or waiting at an outdoor café, the Saltum hooded sun protection jacket keeps you comfortable rather than overheated.
"Lightweight enough to forget, functional enough to matter — the Saltum sun jacket is the one layer that earns its place every single day of summer."
Built-In Features, Thoughtfully Placed
Protection from the sun is only the beginning. The Saltum collection is designed as a complete outdoor shield — covering every scenario that warm-weather life throws at you.
WHAT IT DOES
✦ UV protection: The 100% polyamide construction blocks harmful UVA and UVB rays, making it an essential layer for anyone with UV sensitivity, fair skin, or concerns about long-term sun damage.
✦ Water-repellent finish: A durable water-repellent (DWR) coating means a sudden spring shower or a splash from the pool won't ruin your day. The fabric sheds light moisture without becoming heavy or clingy.
✦ Windproof construction: Lightweight does not mean flimsy. The tight weave provides genuine wind resistance, making these jackets ideal for breezy coastal walks, open courts, and cool spring mornings.
✦ Integrated hood: Select styles in the collection feature a built-in hood that folds away neatly when not needed, providing additional coverage for the scalp, neck, and face on the brightest days.
✦ Mask-friendly collar design: The collar is cut to sit comfortably over or alongside a face mask, making the full zip sun jacket practical for daily wear without any pulling or discomfort at the neckline.
✦ Packable and portable: The summer jacket folds into a compact form that fits in a handbag or sports bag, so you always have protection on hand without any extra bulk.
A Palette Built for Sunshine
Outdoor sun protection doesn't have to mean dressing defensively. The Saltum collection comes in a range of colours chosen specifically for spring and summer living — soft lemon yellow, pale mint, dusty mauve, blush pink, fresh white, and cool grey. These are shades that complement warm skin tones and sunny backdrops in equal measure; colours that feel as light as the fabric itself.
Style It Your Way
The Saltum sun long sleeve jacket is designed to layer effortlessly over everything in your warm-weather wardrobe. Wear it over a tennis dress or a match set for post-court coverage. Layer it over a sports bra and pleated skirt for a polished, coordinated outdoor look. Throw it over wide-leg linen trousers and a simple top for a weekend outing. The clean, minimalist cut means it never overwhelms an outfit — it simply completes it.
