Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need sun protective clothing?

Suncream and normal clothes often do not provide you with sufficient sun protection, leaving you exposed to harmful UV radiation. Over exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause:

  • Sunburn
  • Premature ageing
  • Sun spots
  • Skin cancer, including melanoma
  • Irreversible skin damage

Equatorsun offers UPF 50+ sun protection clothing that has been rigorously tested. Our clothing has been shown to meet and exceed the Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 4399:1966; ensuring our clothing is sun-safe.

The UPF 50+ rating is equivalent to wearing a permanent layer of broad-spectrum SPF 50+ suncream, except you don't have the trouble of re-applying. So you can relax next time you are in the sun, knowing that you are protected.

What is UPF 50+ protection?

UPF 50+ is the highest rating for sun protection clothing. It means that the fabric blocks 98% of UV rays.

Which activities is this hat suitable for?

This sun hat is carefully engineered for a variety of water and outdoor activities, including swimming, hiking, surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkelling. Its UPF 50+ protection and chlorine-resistant fabric make it ideal for prolonged exposure to the sun and water.

Additionally, it's comfortable for casual beach outings or other outdoor adventures that require sun protection.

Do I need to wear suncream if I am wearing this hat?

This hat provides excellent UPF 50+ sun protection, which significantly reduces the risk of sunburn. However, for maximum protection, it's still recommended to use suncream on exposed areas of skin that this hat doesn’t cover.

How should I wash and care for this hat?

To ensure longevity, machine wash the sun hat in cold water with mild detergent. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners. Hang to dry in the shade to maintain its colour and elasticity over time.

Is this suitable for my condition?

This sun hat is perfect for individuals requiring extra sun protection, particularly those with medical conditions that make them more susceptible to UV damage. It offers UPF 50+ sun protection, making it suitable for people with:

  • Medical treatments: Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunosuppressive therapies

What sets UPF 50+ sun hats apart from regular sun hats?

Our UPF 50+ sun hats offer superior protection by blocking over 97.5% of harmful UV rays, unlike regular sun hats, which often provides little or no UV defence. Standard fabrics may let UV rays penetrate, leading to sunburn and long-term skin damage. In contrast, our UPF 50+ sun hats provide a level of UV protection that is certified and ensures safe exposure during outdoor activities.
