Stingray Adult Short Sleeve Polo Shirt UPF 50+

This short sleeve polo shirt offers UPF 50+ protection, blocking over 98% of harmful UV rays, ensuring you stay protected while outdoors.

This short sleeve 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.

Absolutely. The lightweight, breathable fabric is designed to keep you cool and comfortable in warm conditions, while the moisture-wicking properties help you stay dry during sports or active use. At the same time, its sleek, versatile design makes it just as suitable for casual outings as it is for more polished, sun-safe occasions.

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

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

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

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.

We choose Stingray because they are the original Australian sun protective clothing manufacturer, trusted since 1986. Their advanced fabrics are designed to block harmful UV rays through the fabric’s construction – without using chemical additives. By combining premium fibres, dense fabric weaves and specialist techniques, Stingray creates certified UPF 50+ protection that lasts for the lifetime of the garment, even after countless washes. This means long‑lasting, reliable sun protection you can trust.
