The reality of the Australian sun
If you live in Australia, you already know—the sun is strong.
And when it comes to protecting your skin, sunscreen alone isn’t always enough.
What is UPF50+?
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor.
UPF50+ fabric blocks over 98% of harmful UV rays.
Our UPF50+ Fabric is tested and certified to Australian standards by ARPANSA.
Why Sun Protection Clothing matters
Sunscreen:
- Needs reapplying
- Can be missed in certain areas
- Washes off after a period of time
UPF50+ protection clothing and swimwear:
- Stays in place
- Doesn’t wash off
- Provides consistent protection
Where it makes the biggest difference
- Shoulders
- Chest
- Upper back
- Legs
These are the areas most exposed—and most commonly burned. Protect these areas with our rash guards and swim leggings
The Andavi difference
At Andavi Swim, all pieces are made using premium UPF50+ Italian fabric that we have independently tested and certified to Australian standards by ARPANSA
Because sun protection should be something you can rely on.
The best approach isn’t one or the other—it’s both, combining sunscreen and sun protection clothing or swimwear is recommended for best protection along with wearing a hat, sunglasses and seeking shade. Discover our sun protection swimwear to find your perfect fit.
