Sun Protection for Tradies

Practical UPF50+ protection for long days outdoors

Working outside in Australia means daily sun exposure

If you are a tradie, sun exposure is not something that happens on weekends. Its part of the job.

Early starts, long shifts, reflective surfaces and limited shade mean your skin cops it every day, even when it doesn't feel that hot.

Sun protection for working outside needs to be:

  • Comfortable enough to wear all day
  • Lightweight and breathable
  • Tough enough for real work
  • Easy to throw on without thinking about it

Everyday sun protection that actually gets worn

A lot of sun protective clothing is either too technical or uncomfortable for everyday work.

Sun Ray gear is designed for everyday Australian conditions. Not just extreme sports or beach days. Real workdays, real heat, real movement.

Our UPF50+ sun protection suits tradies who work outdoors across:

  • Construction and building
  • Landscaping and gardening
  • Electrical and plumbing
  • Roofing and solar
  • Road and civil works

It is sun protection you can wear from start to knock off.

What matters when choosing sun protection for tradies

Not all UPF clothing is the same. When you are working outside, the details matter.

Certified UPF50+ protection

Our fabrics are independently tested and rated UPF50+, blocking at least 98 percent of harmful UV rays. The protection does not wash out over time.

Breathable and lightweight

  • Designed to help manage heat, not trap it. Comfortable enough to wear all shift.

Coverage where it counts

  • Wide brims and neck coverage help protect your face, ears and neck. These are the areas that cop the most sun on site.

Secure fit

  • Hats that stay on in the wind and while moving, bending or working overhead.

Built for daily wear

  • If something is uncomfortable, it will not get worn. Sun Ray is designed to fit into your normal work routine.
