Dubarry has launched a new women’s UV and Sun Protection Clothing range aimed at sailors and watersports enthusiasts ahead of the summer season. The collection combines technical performance with casual styling and includes new women’s crew shorts alongside the Riviera technical polo shirt.

Designed for active sailing, the women’s crew shorts feature lightweight four-way stretch fabric with a water-repellent finish and UPF 50 sun protection. The shorts are also quick-drying, moisture-wicking and machine washable for extended use afloat.

Dubarry says the shorts are intended for “energetic sailing” while remaining suitable for casual wear ashore. Practical details include four pockets, an elasticated waistband insert for comfort, and a removable eyewear-cleaning cloth attached by a bungee cord.

The Riviera women’s technical polo is a new addition to the Dubarry range. The lightweight long-sleeved shirt features UPF 50 sun protection and breathable, perforated fabric panels to improve airflow during warm-weather sailing.

The polyester performance fabric is quick-drying and includes antimicrobial odour protection. Additional sailing-focused features include a sunglasses-holder loop and an eyewear-cleaning patch concealed in the hem.

Dubarry says the range has been developed to deliver “performance, comfort and protection with a perfectly tailored fit”.
