Think our dogs have the best noses out there? Fun fact: Bees have a sense of smell 50 times better than dogs!
Introducing Vintage Bees, a limited edition of our favourite Sun Shield Tee, featuring a scatter print of cool blue wild roses and ochre yellow honey bees on a sand background.
The Sun Shield Tee is made with silky soft lightweight stretch jersey with a UPF-50 rating that blocks 98% of the sun's harmful UV rays. No chemical treatment, just a mechanical property of the yarn, so protection would not diminish with regular washing.
Ultra comfortable to wear indoors and and smart, presentable outfit to wear out. Perfect for practical applications beyond sun protection, such as skin conditions, wound care, topical medication and as a anti-anxiety calming aid that can worn all day in our weather.
It reduces heat absorption! Tested on manufacturer's black Labrador retriever, Luke, out in the sun with a infrared thermometer. His fur with the tee was lower than in temperature than without (40degF). Want more cooling effect, wear the Tee damp or slightly wet for the evaporative cooling effect.

An ultra smooth, lightweight, breathable athletic jersey that features a UPF 50+ rating and blocks 98% of harmful UV rays.
