This product is made in Tunisia using an Italian fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions

For which activities is this product designed?

This UPF 50+ sun protective product delivers maximum sun protection for your water-based activities. Engineered to withstand water exposure while maintaining its UV-blocking properties, it’s the ideal companion for swimming, canoeing, windsurfing, snorkeling, coastal walking, and various other water sports. Combine safety and enjoyment in the sun with this product designed for your aquatic adventures.

Is this product suitable for use at the pool or in the ocean?

Yes. The material of this product has been carefully selected to be resistant to both chlorine and salt water. This means you can enjoy your garment in the pool or at the seaside, without compromising its quality or level of protection.

Can it also be worn outside of the water?

Absolutely. This sun protective garment is not limited to use in the water: it is also suitable for your moments of relaxation at the beach, by the pool or on a boat. However, if you are planning a more intense sporting activity outside of the water, we offer other models specifically designed to meet your needs in terms of sports performance and comfort.

Does the fabric maintain its UPF 50+ protection when wet?

Absolutely. The UPF 50+ certification of this fabric holds even in wet conditions, ensuring your skin remains protected from UV rays, whether the clothing is dry or after extended time in the water.

Does this product dry quickly after swimming?

Yes. The fabric in this product is designed to help water drain quickly, leading to faster drying for improved comfort and a pleasant feel.

How should I care for it to maintain its quality?

Although it is resistant to chlorine and salt water, in order to prolong the durability of this product, we recommend rinsing it with clean water at the end of a day where it has been in contact with salt or chlorinated water.

If you wish to machine wash this product, we recommend that you follow the care instructions specified on this product sheet or on the label of your garment or accessory.

Is this product suitable for my skin type?

Ker Sun’s UV-protective clothing and accessories are designed to provide high-performance protection for all skin types, including the most sensitive.

Certified UPF 50+ and classified as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in accordance with current European standards, our products offer the highest level of textile protection against UVA and UVB radiation as defined by regulations.

They help reduce UV exposure during outdoor activities, supporting a safer and more confident experience in the sun.

Does the UPF 50+ protection ever wash out?

The UPF 50+ protection does not wash out.

Our sun protective expertise has allowed us to develop fabrics that filter UV rays mechanically. Thanks to the meticulous choice of textile fibers, their optimized density and our advanced weaving techniques, we guarantee a UPF 50+ protection, without added sunscreens, which persists throughout the life of the product, even after many washes.

To preserve the quality and durability of your product, we recommend that you follow care instructions carefully specified on this product sheet (see above) or on the label.

Do I need to apply sunscreen underneath my UPF 50+ clothing?

With Ker Sun sun protective clothing and accessories, there’s no need to apply sunscreen on covered areas.

However, for full protection, it’s important to apply sunscreen to any exposed skin. We recommend applying sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapplying every two hours or after swimming, in accordance with the instructions for the product you’re using.

Which certification or standard does this product meet for sun protection?

This garment is certified UPF 50+, providing you with the highest level of sun protection. Every fabric, regardless of color, undergoes rigorous testing under the European standard EN 13758-1 for each new production run, ensuring maximum, reliable, and safe protection.

What sets a Ker Sun UPF 50+ clothing apart from regular ready-to-wear clothing?

Ker Sun's UPF 50+ clothing does more than dress you: it effectively shields you from sun-related risks. This protection is built on three pillars:

  1. Exceptional sun protection: Our clothes are made from UPF 50+ certified fabrics. This long-lasting protection creates a permanent barrier against UV rays, going far beyond what standard ready-to-wear clothing can offer.
  2. Optimal coverage for reinforced protection: Each Ker Sun piece is thoughtfully designed to protect the most sun-exposed areas (arms, neck, hands, face, chest, legs etc.) while maintaining elegance and everyday ease of use.
  3. Maximum comfort, even in hot weather: Designed with heat in mind, our breathable, lightweight fabrics and airflow-friendly cuts help keep you cool while staying shielded from UV rays.

Conventional ready-to-wear clothing, which isn’t designed for sun protection, consistently lacks these benefits. At Ker Sun, our mission centers on creating garments that truly defend you from the sun, allowing everyone to enjoy outdoor activities with peace of mind.

Bonjour,

Merci beaucoup pour votre message !

Sa technologie anti-humidité permet d’absorber l’humidité et d’évacuer la transpiration, pour un maintien au sec optimal.

Peut-il trouver son utilité autre que dans l'eau ?
Comme, pouvoir le porter de la vie quotidienne.

Ker Sun

Bonjour,

Merci pour votre question.

Notre legging de bain anti-UV est conçu principalement pour être porté dans l'eau. Bien qu'il soit possible de le porter dans la vie quotidienne, ce n'est pas son utilisation principale.

Si vous recherchez quelque chose pour un usage quotidien, je vous recommande notre pantalon de sport anti-UV pour homme Nuvées, disponible en deux coloris : https://www.ker-sun.com/collections/legging-anti-uv-homme-pantalon-anti-uv-homme/products/pantalon-anti-uv-homme-cafe-glace-nuvees
