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.

The best product

I’ve been struggling with skin over sensitivity from sun on my hands for years (it’s been painful and hard to manage), every summer if I spend more then 2 hours in the sun, my hands would burn from inside. When I came across this product I thought: what if it works. I went to the exact place that gave me the worst sun allergy flare up 2 years ago, same conditions, same time spent outside, the only difference is that this time I had my UV gloves. And I am so grateful for this product, my hands felt cooling effect, it was comfortable and nice looking, and when after 2 days in the sun, I didn’t feel and pain or burning, I almost cried. If you are thinking about getting this product, and you are straggling with sun sensitivity, this is your sign. It is worth it. Thank you KerSun

Gant anti uv

les gants protègent très bien contre les UV et sont confortable .
Petits défauts : les grip en silicone anti-dérapant ont tendance a devenir blanc ou a partir surtout au niveau des bouts des doigts (mes gants sont noirs est cela se voit bien).

Parfait. Suffisamment long au poignet, sensation de "fraîcheur" malgré les grosses chaleurs.
Je rachèterai sans doute une 2e paire ultérieurement.

Great product

I bought it mainly for daily car driving, but will use it also during hiking, biking and other activities to protect hand skin from the sun. They are made of material pleasant for the skin, have some anti-slip coating and work with touch-screens. They are long enough to safely cover wrists, which was important point for me when choosing UV protecting gloves. I have chosen this navy ones and natural beige, I am satisfied with both colours.

Great gloves, one star off for the fingers being too long for me as I have shorter fingers and it's hard to use touch screens because the fabric bunches up.

Belle qualité

J'apprécie la qualité du produit, la finesse du tissus. Je regrette uniquement la longueur des doigts qui pour moi est un peu grande.
J'ai pris la taille M après avoir pris les mesures et aussi parce que c'est ma taille standard ailleurs mais je pense que le S aurait été suffisante mais plus ajustée au niveau de la largeur de la main.
J'essaierai la prochaine fois :)

Chère cliente,
merci pour votre retour et vos compliments sur la qualité et la finesse de notre tissu, cela nous fait vraiment plaisir ! 😊
Nous prenons bonne note de votre remarque concernant la longueur des doigts — ce type de retour est précieux pour nous aider à toujours mieux vous conseiller.
Bonne nouvelle : les retours sont gratuits ! Si vous souhaitez nous retourner le produit pour commander une taille S, n'hésitez pas à vous rendre sur notre page de retours : https://www.ker-sun.com/pages/returnzap — nous nous ferons un plaisir de vous accompagner dans cette démarche.
Au plaisir de vous retrouver prochainement sur ker-sun.com

Chaleureusement,

Exactement ce que je souhaitais en voiture ou quand je jardine . C’est le complément du chapeau

Bonjour Madame,
Merci beaucoup pour votre retour !

C’est exactement pour ces usages du quotidien que nous les avons conçus.

Très belle continuation à vous, bien protégée.
