FAQs

  • What is Sun Ray?

    Sun Ray is an Australian-designed UPF 50+ clothing brand that offers stylish, comfortable, and functional sun protection for outdoor enthusiasts. Our clothing provides high-quality UV protection, designed to keep you safe from harmful sun exposure while maintaining style and comfort, whether you're hiking, at the beach, or enjoying a park day.

  • 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. 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, strolling a market, or relaxing by the beach, our UPF 50+ clothing offers year-round sun protection in a stylish and comfortable design.

  • 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. Generally, hand wash with like colours in cold water, and avoid using fabric softeners. Line dry to preserve the fabric and the integrity of the sun protection.

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

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

  • 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?
