Because the best UV protective clothing must also be comfortable. Full stop. It shouldn't waste resources, shouldn't burden anyone and should keep people, animals and the environment healthy. That is important to us.
That's why we make casual and sustainable clothing from the waste of the oceans: from fishing nets, carpets and PET bottles. In concrete terms: iQ sun protection thinks about the environment from A to Z. A single iQ shirt removes 1 kilogramme of waste from the sea. We use around 90% less fresh water in the production of a UV protection shirt compared to a conventional cotton T-shirt. And you save around 10 kilograms of sun cream over the lifetime of your iQ UV shirt, protecting the water and its inhabitants from the unhealthy ingredients of sun protection products.
Why UV protective clothing is important
You may be wondering why UV protective clothing plays such a crucial role, especially for outdoor activities. The sun's UV rays can seriously damage your skin and increase the risk of skin cancer. While sunscreens help with daily skin care, UV protective clothing provides reliable and long-lasting protection by blocking the harmful rays. This clothing is specifically designed to provide a high UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) that prevents UV rays from reaching your skin. This allows you to move safely outdoors without having to constantly apply sun cream.
UV protective clothing and clothing technology
UV protective clothing is based on innovative technologies that set it apart from conventional clothing. Fabrics are manufactured in such a way that they are tightly woven and effectively block and reflect UV rays. Materials such as polyester and nylon are used, which naturally offer greater protection than cotton. Our clothing therefore requires no chemicals and no additional impregnation. This gives you a clothing solution that is both skin-friendly, lightweight and breathable without compromising on protection. This technology provides you with a durable and comfortable way to protect yourself from the sun.
UV protective clothing for adults: a wide range of uses
UV protective clothing is not just for the beach or water sports. It is ideal for a wide range of outdoor activities. Whether you're hiking, cycling or simply working in the garden, such clothing protects you efficiently from harmful UV rays. It is particularly indispensable for longer periods in the sun, such as at sporting events or festivals. As they are available in different designs and styles, you can choose UV protective clothing that suits your personal style without having to compromise on functionality.
Protective clothing: How to choose the right UV protective clothing
Choosing the right UV protective clothing requires a little attention. Pay attention to the UPF value, which indicates the degree of protection. The higher the value, the better the protection. For optimum protection, you should choose clothing with a UPF of at least 50. Comfort is also important - choose breathable fabrics that offer you freedom of movement. Follow the care instructions to maintain the protective function. Some fabrics can lose their effectiveness when stretched or wet. These tips will help you find the perfect UV protective clothing that offers you reliable protection and comfort at the same time.
