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.

All of our apparel are certified UPF 50+ under the rigorous Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 4399:1966.

Is the brim wide enough to cover my face?

The sun hat comes with a wide brim to ensure your face has excellent sun protection.

Nonetheless, it is always good practice to apply suncream to your face to ensure you are protected from reflected UV rays.

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

This sun 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 can I wash it?

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

Is this hat 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:

  • Skin cancers: Basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma
  • Autoimmune diseases: Lupus, scleroderma, dermatomyositis
  • Medical treatments: Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunosuppressive therapies
  • Photosensitivity conditions: Actinic keratosis, porokeratosis, vitiligo, eczema, chronic actinic heliodermatitis
  • Genetic conditions: Erythropoietic protoporphyria, Bloom syndrome, ichthyoses

This hat is designed to offer robust sun protection, providing peace of mind for those with specific health needs.

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

Our UPF 50+ sun hats offers 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+ fabric provides a level of UV protection that is certified and ensures safe exposure during outdoor activities.

In 2009, Annette lost her life, leaving behind, sadly amongst many other things, a mission to prevent skin cancer. My family have committed to carrying-on her legacy through Equatorsun.
