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.

What makes this polo shirt sun protective?

This polo shirt offers UPF 50+ protection, blocking over 97.5% of harmful UV rays, ensuring you stay protected while outdoors.

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

This polo shirt provides 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 polo shirt doesn’t cover.

Is this polo shirt suitable for hot weather?

Yes! The breathable, lightweight fabric ensures comfort and keeps you cool while protecting your skin from UV rays.

Can I wear this polo shirt for active sports?

Yes, it’s designed for active use, providing flexibility and moisture-wicking properties to keep you cool and dry.

Is this polo shirt suitable for both casual and formal settings?

Yes, its sleek design makes it versatile for both casual outdoor settings and more formal events requiring sun protection.

How should I wash this polo shirt?

Wash the polo shirt in cold water, maximum 30 degrees, with mild detergent and air dry.

Is this polo shirt suitable for my condition?

This polo shirt 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

What sets UPF 50+ clothing apart from regular clothing?

Our UPF 50+ clothing offers superior protection by blocking over 97.5% of harmful UV rays, unlike regular clothing, 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+ clothing and swimwear provides a level of UV protection that is certified and ensures safe exposure during outdoor activities.
