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'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.

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.
