Sun Protective Clothing FAQ

Our technical fabrics have permanent UPF50+ protection woven into the threads. Many UV fabrics use topical coatings that wear off or wash out over time.

The mineral Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) is integrated into the yarn during manufacturing, making the sun protection inherent to our technical fabric.

We use OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified materials (UPF50+ fabric, thread, logos, labels, buttons, trims), and produce in small batches for quality.
