Carhartt Navy Force Sun Defender Long Sleeve Hooded T-Shirt

The Carhartt Navy Force Sun Defender Long Sleeve Hooded T-Shirt brings a professional navy colorway to a performance platform built specifically for workers who cannot avoid prolonged sun exposure. Navy is one of the most common uniform colors across industries including construction, landscaping, utilities, and corporate facilities management, making this shirt an easy addition to an existing apparel program. The 4-ounce, 100% polyester jersey construction keeps the garment light and functional even during physical labor in warm conditions.

Carhartt Force is the technology system that separates this shirt from standard long-sleeve options. It combines sweat resistance, fast-drying fabric behavior, and odor control into a single integrated performance layer that does not wash out over time.

FastDry technology moves perspiration off the skin and to the fabric exterior where it evaporates rapidly, cutting the heavy, overheated feeling that normally makes workers ditch long-sleeve shirts when temperatures rise. The result is a shirt that delivers full-arm sun coverage without sacrificing comfort.

The three-panel hood with front neck coverage extends the UPF 50+ protection zone to the neck and lower face, areas that receive consistent direct UV exposure during outdoor work but are rarely addressed by standard workwear designs. With a UPF 50+ rating blocking more than 98% of UV radiation, this shirt functions as a real protective garment.

The tagless construction rounds out the design by eliminating a common source of physical irritation during extended wear. SWAGHQ offers the navy colorway with embroidery or ColorPrint decoration starting at 6 units, with a 10 to 14 business day production window.
