Carhartt Black Force Sun Defender Long Sleeve Hooded T-Shirt

The Carhartt Black Force Sun Defender Long Sleeve Hooded T-Shirt takes a classic, universally accepted colorway and loads it with the performance technology outdoor workers need most. Black is a standard color across construction, trades, and service industries, and this shirt delivers it without sacrificing any of the sun protection, sweat management, or odor control that the Force Sun Defender platform is built on.

The 4-ounce, 100% polyester jersey keeps the overall weight low so the long-sleeve format stays practical even in warm conditions. Carhartt Force technology is embedded in the fabric, not applied as a coating, which means the sweat-fighting, fast-drying, and odor-blocking properties remain effective through repeated washing cycles over a long service life.

FastDry technology accelerates the movement of perspiration away from the skin's surface, which reduces the discomfort that typically causes workers to abandon long-sleeve shirts on hot days. The three-panel hood with front neck coverage adds UPF 50+ protection for the neck and lower face, converting this shirt into a full upper-body sun defense system.

The tagless construction is a small detail that makes a real difference over an eight-hour shift. Friction from tags accumulates through repeated motion, and removing that irritant keeps workers and focused.

The UPF 50+ rating means the shirt blocks more than 98% of harmful UV radiation, making it a legitimate protective garment rather than a comfort accessory. SWAGHQ offers the black colorway with embroidery or ColorPrint decoration starting at 6 units, with a 10 to 14 business day production window.
