How does it work?
Stay protected on your adventures with our custom designed SolarShield+ fabric, designed for ultimate sun protection. Unlike standard fabrics, this unique SolarShield+ fabric has built-in UPF50+ rating blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays - without washing out. Engineered yarns and a special UV-reflective compound work together to minimize sun exposure. Plus, the fabric’s advanced moisture-wicking technology keeps you cool and dry, making it perfect for all your adventures.
Working in tandem with a special titanium dioxide compound to encourage reflection and scattering of UV rays as they hit the surface of the fabric, the specially engineered yarn shape increases surface area & coverage. Together reducing direct UV exposure and achieving high UV resistance. As well as improving UV resistance, the unique yarn shape draws moisture from the surface and facilitates rapid evaporation, resulting in better moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance
Independently tested
Our SolarShield+ fabric has been lab tested against the European standard for sun protection BS EN 13758 – 1 and our research has been independently accredited by the British Skin Foundation. This SolarShield+ fabric has been awarded a UPF rating of UPF50+ under laboratory conditions, a rating that would not be achievable on a similar fabric without our unique yarn design. The UPF50+ rating means that this fabric blocks up to 98% of both UVA and UVB rays.
Designed for sun-soaked, multi-day expeditions, SolarShield+ is the ultimate Safari technology.
