Kids long sleeve sun shirts made for active days outdoors

Keep kids covered and comfortable while they play, explore and enjoy the outdoors with Little Fisho's range of kids long sleeve sun shirts and sun-safe clothing.

Designed for Australian conditions, our lightweight and breathable UV Defender styles provide long-sleeve coverage without the heavy, restrictive feel of traditional sun-protective clothing. From beach days and swimming to fishing, boating, camping and everyday adventures, these are kids' sun shirts designed to keep up.

Lightweight kids sun shirts for summer

Finding a kids' long sleeve sun shirt that actually feels comfortable in hot weather can be a challenge. That's why our UV Defender range is made from lightweight, breathable eyelet knit fabric designed to help keep kids cool while providing added coverage from the sun.

The fabric is quick drying and designed to be worn both in and out of the water, making these versatile kids' sun shirts for summer holidays, beach days and outdoor adventures.

Kids UV Defender Shirts

Our Kids UV Defender Shirt is a long-sleeve kids' sun shirt designed for bigger kids who want the coverage without looking like they're wearing traditional sun-protective clothing.

With a classic collar, zip-up neckline, thumb holes and vented mesh back panel, it's practical enough for outdoor adventures but versatile enough for everyday wear. There are no loud logos or oversized fishing graphics, making it an easy choice for fishing, boating, golf, beach days, travel and everything in between.

Kids long sleeve sun shirts for the beach and beyond

A good kids' sun shirt shouldn't only be useful at the beach.

Little Fisho's UV Defender styles are designed to go wherever the day takes you. Wear them over swimmers at the beach, on the boat, while fishing, at the park or while exploring on holiday.

They're also designed to be worn both in and out of the water, so kids don't have to change every time the activity changes.

Kids UV Defender Sets

For even more coverage, the UV Defender Kids Set pairs a long-sleeve top with full-length pants in the same lightweight, breathable fabric.

The set features a vented mesh back, adjustable drawstring waist and real hip pockets, making it a practical option for active kids who have outgrown baby onesies but still want extra coverage from the sun.

Available in a range of colours, the Kids Set can also be paired with Little Fisho's matching baby and toddler styles for an easy coordinated family look.

Kids sun safe shirts in colours they'll actually want to wear

Sun-safe clothing doesn't have to be boring. Little Fisho's kids' range is designed with simple, wearable colours and practical details rather than oversized logos and loud novelty prints. Choose from shades including Ocean Blue, Sage Green, Sunset Lilac, Coral Pink and Sand Beige, with limited-edition prints also introduced for selected summer collections.

Whether you're looking for a kids' fishing shirt, beach shirt or everyday long-sleeve sun shirt, there's a style designed to fit into their summer wardrobe.

More than a kids' sun shirt

Little Fisho was created by an Australian mum who wanted better options for keeping her own daughter covered during hot-weather adventures.

Our approach is simple: create practical sun-safe clothing that kids can actually wear, and parents actually want to pack.

From babies and toddlers through to bigger kids and adults, the UV Defender Family Range makes it easy for the whole family to stay coordinated while enjoying the outdoors.

Sun Safe Fun From Day One.
