Why UPF50+ Sun Protection Clothing Is Essential in Australia
Australia has some of the highest UV levels in the world and that means sun protection is a daily necessity, not just a beach-day afterthought. At Sun Ray, we design UPF50+ sun protection clothing that fits seamlessly into your everyday wardrobe.
From morning walks to market strolls, our gear is made for life in the sun, without compromising on comfort, breathability, or style.
What Is UPF50+ and Why Does It Matter?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) measures how effectively a fabric blocks UV rays. A UPF50+ rating means our clothing blocks 98% or more of harmful UVA and UVB rays, the highest rating available.
At Sun Ray, all our fabrics are tested and certified by ARPANSA, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency. This is the gold standard for UV protection clothing in Australia.
The Australian Sun: Why It's Different
Many people associate sun damage with hot weather, but UV radiation can be dangerously high even on cooler or cloudy days. That’s what makes living in Australia unique, we experience extreme UV year-round.
That’s why sun-safe clothing is one of the most reliable ways to protect your skin. It’s protection you don’t have to reapply.
Breathable and Made for Everyday
We get it. A lot of sun protection gear feels awkward, sweaty, or better suited for the beach than the school run. That’s why Sun Ray designs are intentionally:
Lightweight and breathable (yes, even long sleeves)
Comfortable for all-day wear
Considered features and functional fits
Equipped with thoughtful details—like oversized hoods, thumb holes, and minimal seams
Every piece is tested under real Aussie sun, worn in the real world.
Sun Protection That Moves With You
Our approach to sun protection clothing is simple: it should be effortless, effective, and elevated. You shouldn't have to choose between staying protected and feeling like yourself.
So whether you're commuting, adventuring, or just grabbing a coffee, our UPF clothing is designed to support the rhythm of your day.
