Port Authority Men’s Short Sleeve UV Daybreak Shirt - W961

Sun protection in workwear is often an afterthought, but the Port Authority Short Sleeve UV Daybreak Shirt makes it a core feature. With a UPF rating of 30, this shirt offers genuine protection from harmful UV rays, ideal for anyone spending significant time outdoors in groundskeeping, delivery work, or general outdoor maintenance.

The shirt uses a lightweight, moisture-wicking polyester poplin that stays breathable even during long hours in direct sun. A hidden button-down collar keeps the shirt looking clean, while two chest pockets with concealment flaps and hook-and-loop closures keep small items secure during physical activity. A vented back panel with mesh ventilation improves airflow throughout the day.

A straight hem with side vents allows extra ease of movement without the shirt riding up during bending or reaching. Available in sizes XS through 4XL and a range of colors, this shirt suits a wide variety of body types and workplace color schemes. For added coverage, the long sleeve version, style W960, offers the same core features.
