Our story
We started NOT/FOR THEM because the choice outside was always the same: cover up in something that looked like equipment, or reapply lotion every two hours and hope. So we built premium apparel that happens to be rated UPF 50+ — clothing first, protection permanently.
UV protection comes from yarn density and construction. It cannot wash out, because it was never sprayed on.
Cooling yarns pull moisture off the skin and drop surface temperature as it evaporates.
Every fabric holds UPF 50+ after 50 washes and full sweat saturation, not just on day one.

“Coverage that finally looks like clothing, not equipment.”

TRAIL QUARTERLY
