Collection: Sunscreen Jackets

Explore Chkokko's Lightweight Sun Protection Jacket for Indian Summers

The Indian summers are harsh. The level of UV radiation during the months of March to June can inflict skin damage in minutes due to direct exposure. Sunscreen provides protection, but needs constant application, may perspire away, and may leave your arms exposed.

Our sun protection jacket is the answer to that problem. Our summer jacket, designed and developed by Dlaskross Limited to protect against Indian hot weather conditions, offers the perfect combination of style and UPF 50 protection. It iss meant for both men and women, available in sizes ranging from S to 5XL.

Sun Protection Jacket: Block UV Rays Without the Heat or Bulk

Most people avoid wearing jackets in summer for one obvious reason: they're too hot. Our sun protection jacket is engineered to solve exactly that. You get full arm and torso coverage without trapping heat against your body.

A. UPF 50 Rated Fabric: Blocks Over 98% of Harmful UV Rays

UPF 50 represents the maximum possible rating that can be achieved for any fabric used as a barrier against harmful solar rays. UPF 50 implies that the fabric filters out more than 98% of all harmful solar radiation from hitting the skin, which is much better compared to most sunblocks at their respective SPF ratings.

For anyone spending time outdoors in India between February and September, that level of coverage matters.

B. Lightweight and Packable: Fits in Your Bag Without Taking Up Space

This UV protection jacket is designed to fold up in such a manner that it can fit in one of the side pockets of your backpack or purse. It is extremely lightweight, and this is what allows you to take it with you on a regular basis without making plans for it.

C. Breathable Mesh Lining: Stays Cool Even in Peak Summer Heat

The mesh lining on the inside creates an air gap between the garment and your skin. Air flows through, and heat is released. You don’t feel as if you’re wearing additional clothing because you really aren’t; the outer layer protects against UV rays, whereas the lining regulates the temperature inside regardless of whether it’s 40 degrees outside.

Summer Jacket for Men: Slim Fit, UV Blocking and Everyday Versatile

Men's sun protection options in India are limited. You're usually choosing between a generic windcheater or nothing at all. Our summer jacket men category changes that.

A. UV Jacket for Men: Built for Outdoor Commutes, Bike Rides and Travel

If you ride a bike to work, walk between meetings, or spend time outdoors for any reason, your arms and shoulders take the most UV exposure. Our UV protection jacket for men covers exactly those areas with a slim, non-restrictive fit that doesn't look out of place in professional or casual settings.

It works across:

  • Daily commutes on two-wheelers

  • Outdoor work breaks and afternoon walks

  • Weekend travel, hill stations, and road trips

B. Gym Jacket for Summer: Wear It to the Gym and Straight Out After

Our gym jacket for summer doubles as a transitional layer. Wear it over your gym kit on the way in, zip it off during your session, and throw it back on for the walk or ride home. The slim cut layers cleanly over t-shirts and tank tops without bunching.

Summer Jacket for Women: Soft, Protective and Stylish for Any Occasion

Women need sun protection that doesn't look clinical or sporty in every context. Our summer jacket women collection is designed with that balance in mind.

A. Feminine Cut With Full Sun Coverage: Style That Does Not Compromise Protection

The women’s fit has been designed to ensure that there are no wrinkles around the waist or shoulder region due to unnecessary cloth. The full sleeves include thumbhole cuffs to make sure you have protection for your hand palms, where everyone else forgets about.

B. Available in Earthy and Pastel Tones: UV Protection Jacket That Looks Good Too

Our women’s UV protection jacket will offer you earthy tones as well as pastel colors, which can be easily combined with other items. You won’t have to stick only to black and gray. The color scheme is chosen so that the new jacket will harmonize with your existing wardrobe.

UPF 50 Jacket: The Complete Summer Jacket for India's Climate

A. Durable Through the Entire Summer Season

Our summer jacket is built for daily use across an Indian summer. The fabric maintains its UPF rating through repeated washing and doesn't degrade with sun exposure the way synthetic coatings can. Buy it at the start of the season, and it'll still be performing at the end.

B. Sizes S to 5XL: Sun Protection Jackets for Every Body

Full-size ranges from S to 5XL, making sure that everyone can wear the sun protection jacket. It is equally fitted in all sizes. The coverage does not decrease with size increases. Everyone gets equal UV protection and comfort.
