Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my child need sun protective clothing?

Suncream and normal clothes often do not provide your child with sufficient sun protection, leaving your child 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 the next time your child is in the sun, knowing that your child is 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.

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

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.

Our Story

Over 15 years ago, my mother, Annette founded Equatorsun shortly after receiving a melanoma diagnosis.

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.
