Dubarry has expanded its Men’s UV and Sun Protection Clothing range with the launch of new technical sailing shorts and a lightweight performance polo. The new collection is aimed at sailors and watersports users seeking lightweight clothing with built-in protection for summer conditions on the water.

Central to the launch are Dubarry’s new Imperia men’s shorts. Designed for active watersports, the shorts are constructed from lightweight stretch fabric with water-repellent and quick-drying properties.

Dubarry says the shorts are intended to provide flexibility and comfort while maintaining durability in demanding marine environments. A reinforced seat panel, non-slip waistband and high back are designed to improve fit and support onboard. The shorts also feature UPF 50 sun protection and multiple storage pockets, including a removable eyewear cleaning cloth attached by a bungee cord.

Completing the outfit is a lightweight long-sleeved polo shirt designed for men and women alike. The shirt combines moisture-wicking and antimicrobial fabric technology with UPF 40 sun protection. Additional features include a sunglasses holder loop and a concealed cleaning patch built into the hem.
