Carhartt Fresh Water Blue Force Sun Defender Short Sleeve Shirt

The Carhartt Fresh Water Blue Force Sun Defender Short Sleeve Shirt brings a clean, distinctive color to performance workwear, standing out from the standard navy and gray palette that dominates most outdoor crew uniforms. Fresh Water Blue is a light to mid-tone blue that photographs well, reads as approachable and professional in client-facing environments, and provides excellent contrast for dark-thread embroidery. The shirt is built on a 2.9-ounce, 71/29 polyester/nylon chambray that keeps weight low for all-day summer comfort.

Sun Defender technology at the UPF 50+ level means this shirt protects workers from harmful UV rays regardless of how long they are in direct sunlight. The protection is embedded in the fiber construction of the chambray, so it does not wash out or degrade with regular laundering.

For outdoor crews on construction sites, utility projects, or landscaping operations, this rating delivers meaningful protection against cumulative sun exposure. Carhartt Force technology manages sweat, dry time, and odor control across the full shift.

Combined with FastDry wicking that actively moves perspiration away from skin, the Fresh Water Blue shirt stays looking and feeling cleaner longer than standard work shirts. Rugged Flex stretch adds ease of movement for physical tasks without the shirt pulling or bunching at the shoulders or back.

For branded workwear programs that want to differentiate from the typical dark workwear palette, SWAGHQ can embroider this Fresh Water Blue colorway with a minimum order of 6 units and a 10-14 business day turnaround. Navy, dark green, or charcoal thread embroidery against Fresh Water Blue creates sharp, readable logos that stand out in the field.
