Quick Answer
Best for: Surfers, swimmers, or anyone looking for reliable UPF 50+ sun protection and comfort in or out of the water.
These OLAIAN Anti-UV Leggings Black offer UV defense, stretch, quick-dry comfort, and a secure fit, perfect for long hours under the sun.
What Makes the OLAIAN Anti-UV Leggings Special?
When we first tried these leggings on a sunny beach day, the comfort was instant.
They fit like a second skin, didn’t slip in the waves, and dried super fast.
Designed by Decathlon’s surf brand, OLAIAN, in the surfing capital of Hendaye (France), these leggings are tested right at the water’s edge.
That’s why they stay snug, block UV rays even when wet, and feel light even after hours of use.
Q&A: Everything You Need to Know
The fabric is UPF 50+, meaning it blocks at least 98% of UVB and 95% of UVA rays, even when wet. So yes, you’re protected whether surfing, swimming, or paddling.
Yes. The 15% elastane stretch fabric and flat seams minimize chafing against your surfboard or paddleboard. During testing, even after two hours in the water, there was little to no irritation.
Absolutely. The body-hugging waistband and front cord attachment help connect them to your UV T-shirt, keeping everything secure and in place.
Definitely. Besides surfing, they’re ideal for SUP, snorkeling, sea wading, windsurfing, wakeboarding, or even kayaking.
Yes, made from 80% recycled polyester, part of OLAIAN’s ongoing eco-design initiative to reduce environmental impact.
Ideal for water above 21°C. If the wind speed is over 15 km/h, you may want to switch to a thermal model with neoprene for extra warmth.
For full-body UV protection, combine them with an OLAIAN 500 UV protection T-shirt (short or long sleeve). Add a cap, sunglasses, and reef-safe sunscreen for complete defense.

Storytime: Why We Love Them
We first tested these leggings during our family’s swimming session in Pink Beach, Labuan Bajo. Milan kept swimming and we were constantly exposed to the bright summer sun.
While others worried about sunburns, our legs felt protected and cool the entire time.
It’s that kind of effortless comfort that makes you want to stay longer in the water.
FAQ
No. They protect your skin from UV rays but don’t replace the need for sunscreen on exposed areas like your feet, hands, or face.
Yes. OLAIAN also makes similar UPF 50+ options for kids. Always remember that children’s skin is more sensitive to UV rays.
Simply rinse in fresh water after use and air dry in the shade. The UV-blocking fibers remain effective even after many washes.
