THE FABRIC
Engineered in Italy. Designed for how we actually live.
Performance fabric technology, redirected from serious activewear toward resort life.
Every PRTECT piece begins with fabric milled in Italy — the same performance textile tradition behind high-end activewear, brought instead to resortwear. It started with a woman's frustration: cotton never survived a real day at sea. Read the full story →
Moisture Wicking
Pulls moisture away from the body, so the fabric stays light and comfortable through heat, humidity, and long travel days.
Quick Dry
Rinse it in the sink after a day at the beach, hang it, and it's ready before dinner. No hotel laundry, no packing a second outfit.
UPF 50+, by construction
The weave itself blocks UV — not a coating, not a finish that washes out over time. Real protection, built in from the start.
From Mill to Garment
Knitted in Italy
Fabric milled by a specialist Italian textile house, engineered for performance.
Cut & Sewn within the EU
Manufactured in small runs across Europe, close to the fabric's origin.
Shipped to You
From our EU warehouse, tracked door to door.
Frequently asked questions
UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks 98% of UV radiation — the highest standard rating. Unlike sunscreen, it doesn't wear off through the day or need reapplying.
No — it's built into the weave, not a topical coating, so it doesn't fade or wash out with normal care.
No — the fabric is moisture-wicking and quick-dry by design, so it stays breathable rather than trapping heat.
