Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is Sun Ray?

    Sun Ray is an Australian UPF 50+ clothing brand that offers comfortable and functional sun protection for outdoor enthusiasts. Our clothing provides high-quality UV protection, designed to keep you safe from harmful sun exposure whether you're climbing a mountain, at the beach, or just laying on a picnic rug at the park.

  • Why is Sun Ray’s clothing better than regular clothing for sun protection?

    Unlike regular clothing, Sun Ray garments are rated UPF 50+, meaning they block 98% of harmful UV rays. Standard cotton fabrics offer much less protection (around UPF 5), and when wet, this protection can decrease further. Our clothing is lab-tested and certified to meet the highest sun protection standards.

  • How does UPF clothing work?

    UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) measures how well fabric blocks UV rays. The higher the UPF rating, the better the protection. Sun Ray’s clothing is rated UPF 50+, which blocks 98% of UV rays, offering superior protection compared to regular fabrics or sunscreen that can wear off throughout the day.

  • Is Sun Ray clothing only for outdoor activities?

    Not at all! While our clothing is designed with outdoor activities in mind, it’s also perfect for everyday wear. Whether you're enjoying a casual day at the park, climbing a mountain, or relaxing by the beach, our UPF 50+ clothing offers year-round sun protection and comfort.

  • How do I care for Sun Ray clothing?

    We recommend following the care instructions on the label to maintain the fabric’s effectiveness and appearance. We advise to wash with like colours in warm water, and avoid clothes dryers.

  • What makes Sun Ray different from other sun protection brands?

    Sun Ray combines the highest level of sun protection (UPF 50+) and comfort. We’ve designed our products with both aesthetics and practicality in mind. Our clothing is made to fit into your wardrobe, offering versatile pieces that provide long-lasting sun protection.

  • What’s Sun Ray’s commitment to sustainability?

    We’re dedicated to minimising our environmental impact through responsible sourcing, sustainable production methods, and continual efforts to reduce waste. We make products that are built to last, using eco-friendly materials wherever possible, and we're always working towards further reducing our footprint.

  • How does Sun Ray contribute to skin cancer awareness?

    Sun Ray proudly donates 5% of our profits to Skin Check Champions, an Australian organisation focused on improving access to early skin cancer detection, particularly for high-risk communities. We’re committed to raising awareness about the dangers of UV exposure and supporting efforts to reduce skin cancer rates in Australia.

  • How do I know that Sun Ray’s products actually work?

    Sun Ray’s clothing is rigorously tested and certified by ARPANSA (Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency) and the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA). Our UPF 50+ rating guarantees that our products block 98% of harmful UV rays, ensuring the highest possible level of sun protection for your skin.
