What Our Customers Say

“Honestly thought this would look a bit medical or sporty but it just looks like a normal polo. I wore it golfing and didn’t burn at all, which is rare for me. Light, breathable, and didn’t stink after sweating either haha. Really impressed.”

“Bit of a gamble as I’d never heard of the brand but it’s solid. Wore it for walking the dog and out on the boat last weekend, no redness, no sunburn. Nice fit, not too tight, not baggy. I’m usually a large and this was spot on.”

“Can’t fault the shirt, really, it’s comfy and does exactly what it says. Took it to Portugal and wore it most days. Just wish there were a few more colour options to mix it up a bit. Will be buying again though.”

“I burn like mad on my shoulders even with factor 50, so this was a game-changer. Threw it on for beach days and walking round the markets. Didn’t overheat and the material’s v. nice, soft, stretchy but not clingy. My wife’s already nicked it twice. One more on the way!”
Our Story

Over 15 years ago, my mother, Annette founded equatorsun shortly after receiving a melanoma diagnosis.
After a few years, equatorsun was blossoming, and at the same time Annette was struggling with melanoma.
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.
