FAQ'S

What is UPF50+ swimwear?

UPF50+ fabric blocks more than 98% of harmful UV rays, helping protect your skin while you enjoy time outdoors. Our sun safe swimwear is made from premium Italian fabric, tested & rated by ARPANSA (The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency who are the Australian Governments primary on radiation protection & nuclear safety). Our pieces are designed to provide excellent sun protection in and out of the water.

Why wear a rash guard?

Sunscreen is important, but it needs to be reapplied regularly and can wash off in the water. A rash guard provides consistent sun protection for your shoulders, arms and chest, helping reduce sun exposure while swimming or outdoors.

To achieve maximum protection, we recommend using a UPF50+ sunscreen in combination with our sun protection swimwear. Remember to limit your hours in the sun, use maximum protection methods such as seeking shade, wear a hat, sunscreen and sun protection clothing.

Is the fabric chlorine resistant?

Our luxury Italian fabric is chlorine ultra resistant and pilling resistant.

Is the fabric UPF50+?

Our fabric is tested and rated UPF50+ in Australia. We send our fabric to ARPANSA (Australia Radiation Protection & Nuclear Safety Agency) which is a regulatory agency for the Australian Government.

Can rash guards be worn in the water?

Yes. Our rash guards are designed specifically for swimming and water activities. They are made from quick-drying swim fabric that feels comfortable both in and out of the water.

They can be worn while:

• swimming
• paddleboarding
• snorkeling
• relaxing at the beach or pool, walking or running

Do rash guards feel tight?

Rash guards are designed to fit closer to the body than a regular t-shirt so they stay secure in the water. This helps prevent fabric from floating or riding up while swimming.

If you prefer a slightly more relaxed feel, many customers choose to size up, OR choose a style from our relaxed fit collection. Shop Relaxed Fit Tops

What is the difference between rash guards and sun tops?

Rash guards are designed for swimming and water sports, with a secure fit that stays in place in the water.

Sun tops are often slightly more relaxed and can be worn for beach walks, boating and casual beach days while still offering sun protection.

Can I swim in swim your leggings?

Yes. Our swim leggings are designed specifically for swimming, unlike regular activewear leggings.

They are made from luxury quick-drying swim fabric, that's super quick drying, soft, breathable, chlorine & pilling resistant. They are designed with a second-skin fit, helping them stay secure while swimming or moving in and out of the water.

How should swim leggings be worn?

Swim leggings are designed to be worn over bikini bottoms or swim bottoms. They provide full leg coverage and are ideal for women who want additional sun protection or anti-chafe comfort at the beach or pool.

Are swim leggings good for sun protection?

Yes. Swim leggings provide maximum sun protection for your legs, making them ideal for swimming, paddleboarding, snorkeling and long beach or pool days.

They are a popular option for women who want full coverage without sacrificing comfort or movement.

What sun protection swimwear is best for all-day beach use?

For extended time in the sun, many women choose long sleeve rash guards paired with swim leggings or longer swim shorts. This combination provides excellent coverage for the shoulders, arms and legs while remaining comfortable for swimming and beach or pool activities. We recommend limiting your time in the sun or when the UV is at its highest, pair sun protection clothing with UPF50+ sunscreen, hat, sunglasses and seek shade regularly.
