Sun Smart Dressing: A Guide to Stylish Sun Protection Clothing
Discover UPF 50+ Sun Protective Bamboo Clothing
When the sun is shining, the last thing you want is to worry about harmful UV rays. That’s where sun protection clothing steps in – giving you peace of mind while keeping your outfit stylish and easy to wear.
With the right UPF clothing, you don’t have to choose between comfort, style, and protection. From lightweight sun shirts to flowy sun protection pants, it’s all about pieces that feel good while keeping your skin safe.
What is UPF Clothing?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor – it’s the clothing equivalent of SPF in sunscreen. A UPF50 rating means your garment blocks at least 98% of the sun’s harmful rays, offering reliable protection all day long. Unlike sunscreen, you don’t need to keep reapplying – once you’re dressed, you’re covered.
Of course, it’s still crucial to apply sunscreen to any areas not covered by your clothing – like your face, arms, and hands – to make sure you’re fully protected.
Our bamboo UPF clothing is soft, breathable, and designed for everyday life. Whether you’re heading to the beach, running errands, or travelling, these pieces work seamlessly into your wardrobe while keeping you protected. Certified by ARPANSA, most Bamboo Body fabric blends have been awarded the maximum UPF 50+ excellent sun protection rating. This means our fabrics is proven to shield against solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) and reduce the amount of UVR by a factor of over 50.
