Safer ways to protect your skin

When you love the water, chances are you’re exposed to a lot of sunshine. While some exposure is healthy, we all know too much can do harm. We’ve partnered with US-based company Free Fly to offer a variety of UPF items to keep your skin safe as you play on the water! UPF rating is similar to the SPF rating used for sunscreen products. Our new UPF collection is rated at 50+ which means that 1/50th (or 2%) of harmful UVA/UVB rays are transmitted. A typical white cotton t-shirt is rated at UPF 5.
