UPF Sun Protection


This product complies with AS/NZS 4399:2017 and AS 4399:2020

UPF – What does it mean? Ultraviolet Radiation, or UV is present in sunlight. Sunburn is a sign that your skin has received too much sun. Over exposure to UV over many years may cause serious health problems such as skin cancer and cataracts. Garments that are sensibly designed for sun protection reduce your UV exposure. It is often difficult to tell if a fabric offers good sun protection. The Ultraviolet Protection factor (UPF) shows how well a fabric protects your skin from solar UV and lets you select sun protective clothing with confidence. Remember that the garment only protects the skin it covers, protect other areas by wearing a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen and use shaded outdoor areas. UPF ratings range from 15 to 50. Fabrics that rate higher than 50 are labelled UPF 50+.
