Why Sun Protection Matters

Sun protection is a serious issue, with growing awareness of the dangers posed by over-exposure to the sun. Scientific studies show that one bad sun burn doubles skin cancer risk (Source: UK Dept of Health), and the medical profession advises consumers to cover up. Lion in the Sun developed its range to provide a practical means of following this important medical advice.

Factor 50+ Protection

The swimwear used a specially constructed Dupont Lycra-based fabric to provide sun protection. Under the standard OAS/NZ 4399:1996, independent tests showed that this fabric offered an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of 50+, meaning the swimwear eliminated more than 97.5% of the sun's harmful UVA and UVB rays.
