protect your family, your passion, your life
with maximum sun protection clothing
If you spend time in the great outdoors you need a barrier that protects your skin from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays. SunProtection Australia creates maximum UPF 50+ clothing that is engineered to form a cool microclimate for your body, even on the hottest day.
From the oceans to the rivers to the mountains, whether your passion is sport, work or relaxing on the beach, we have practical and stylish sun protective solutions for the whole family.
Our story is a personal one. It is why we care about what you wear.
The most important step you can take to prevent skin cancer is to cover your body with maximum UPF 50+ sun protection clothing because it blocks 97.5% of all UV rays. Recent tests have shown that UVA rays, that do not visibly burn the skin, penetrate more deeply than UVB rays yet sunscreen predominantly protects us against UVB radiation. This means that sunscreen alone is not enough.
Over exposure to UV radiation results in sunburn, early ageing and sunspots and Australia is a global hot spot for high ultraviolet radiation. This is why we have 270,000 new cases of skin cancer diagnosed every year.
Sun protection clothing should be an essential part of your wardrobe.
Every Australian is in danger of getting skin cancer and the most lethal type, Melanoma, is the most common cancer affecting young people. Limiting exposure to UV radiation for the first twenty years of life is vital to preventing skin cancer in the latter years.
SunProtection Australia insists on maximum sun protective fabric which has been tested by ARPANSA (the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency.)
To quote their website: http://www.arpansa.gov.au/Services/upf/index.cfm
“Clothing provides one of the most convenient forms of protection against UVR
but not all garments offer sufficient sun protection”
Our fabric is engineered to be comfortable as well as breathable, lightweight and durable. It is soft against the skin and has moisture wicking and anti microbial properties that will keep you feeling fresh and cool all day. It is also sand and chlorine resistant and easy care.
Our clothing guarantees peace of mind so you and your family can spend more hours outdoors enjoying the things you care about.
