Anti-UV Swimsuits: UPF 50+ Protection
Share
With rising temperatures and the sun's rays becoming more intense, UV protection is becoming a priority at the beach or pool. UV-protective swimsuits, with UPF 50+ protection, are designed to provide an effective barrier against ultraviolet (UV) rays, reducing the risk of skin damage and sunburn. Discover everything you need to know about our innovative swimsuits and why they've become a beachwear essential.
What is the UPF?
The UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating measures a fabric's ability to block UV rays. A garment with a UPF 50+ rating blocks approximately 98% of UV rays. This means it only allows a small percentage of sun exposure to pass through, thus providing high protection. Unlike sunscreen, which requires repeated reapplication, UV-protective jersey provides continuous protection as long as it is worn.
The Benefits of an Anti-UV Swimsuit
UV-protective swimwear offers long-lasting protection, without the need for reapplication like sunscreen. It's ideal for children, athletes, or people with sensitive skin. Designed with technical materials, our swimsuits are not only protective but also comfortable. They're made from lightweight, quick-drying fabrics that allow the skin to breathe. In addition to being UV-protective, our fabrics are recycled and sustainable, minimizing environmental impact. The longevity of the protection, unlike sunscreen, also reduces chemicals in the oceans. Today, we offer a variety of modern styles for the whole family, offering a choice of colors, patterns, and cuts. UV-protective swimwear is no longer limited to basic designs.
Types of Anti-UV Swimsuits
For children: Cover-up wetsuits and swim shirts that effectively protect sensitive areas.
For adults: Variety of cuts with long sleeves, one-piece or two-piece swimsuits, ideal for long days outdoors.
For athletes: Ultra-resistant swimsuits for water sports enthusiasts such as surfing, paddleboarding or diving.
How to Choose the Right Anti-UV Swimsuit?

- Properly Maintaining Your Swimsuit: Rinse your swimsuit in fresh water after each use to remove salt or chlorine.
