There's no denying that the Queensland outdoor lifestyle is some of the best in the world. And with such fabulous weather, it's no wonder that so many people enjoy spending time outdoors. However, this also makes it vitally important to be sun safe. Skin cancer is unfortunately very common in Queensland, and the sunny climate means that people are at a higher risk of developing the condition. That's why it's so important to take steps to protect yourself from the sun. This includes wearing sunscreen, staying in the shade where possible, and avoiding being out in the sun during the hottest parts of the day.
As Queenslanders, we take sun safety seriously. That's why we decided to put our shirts to the test and send them off to Australian Radiation Protection And Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) for laboratory testing. We wanted to know with certainty the level of sun protection our shirts offer.
The results are in and we're happy to report that our fabrics received a UPF rating of 30, meaning they provide good protection against the sun's harmful rays. So when you're out and about this summer, be sure to stay festive & sunsafe by donning a Festive Fox shirt.
