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.

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

Does my child need suncream if they're wearing this top?

This rash shirt provides UPF 50+ protection for the covered areas, but suncream is still recommended for exposed parts of your child’s skin.

Can my child wear this top for water activities?

Yes, this rash top is quick-drying, chlorine-resistant, and perfect for swimming or beach outings.

Is this top comfortable for an active child?

Absolutely! It features lightweight, stretchy, and breathable fabric to allow full movement and comfort for active children.

How should I wash this top?

Wash the top in cold water with mild detergent and air dry.

Is this top suitable for my child's medical condition?

Yes, this top is designed to offer UPF 50+ sun protection, making them ideal for children who need extra protection due to medical conditions. It is suitable for those with:

  • Autoimmune conditions: Lupus, scleroderma, dermatomyositis
  • Medical treatments: Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or immunosuppressive therapies

  • Genetic conditions: Erythropoietic protoporphyria, ichthyoses, Bloom syndrome

This top ensures safe sun exposure for those with specific health needs.

What's the difference between UPF 50+ swimwear and regular swimwear?

Our UPF 50+ swimwear offers superior protection by blocking over 97.5% of harmful UV rays, unlike regular swimwear, 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.
