Why choose Solbari?

Solbari is putting the power of prevention in your hands.

Designed, tested, and rated against Australia’s tough natural elements and the world’s most demanding sun protection standards, Solbari is championing a 360º approach to sun protection.

Solbari’s UPF 50+ sun protective clothing has been designed and developed using our custom fabrics for maximum sun protection, coverage, and comfort, comprising our range of UPF50+ clothing, swimwear, accessories, sun hats and SPF50+ skincare and sunscreen. We are meticulous about comfort fit, function and performance.

Australia is notorious for its strong sun and harsh outdoor conditions, so we know first-hand just how important sun protection is for overall skin health. In fact, it was an Australian who first invented sunscreen. The UPF rating system for sun protective clothing was also developed in Australia, bolstering our reputation as global leaders in skin cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

Solbari was born out of a desire to create a sun protective clothing range that we would want to wear ourselves. What we want for our customers above all else is the ability to enjoy the outdoors and live life to the fullest whilst staying safe and healthy.

Our horizons have expanded since we first embarked on this journey. We are now the Australian leaders in sun protective clothing, with customers in over 70 countries. We have expanded our UPF 50+ sun protective range to cater to people with sensitive skin conditions including eczema, psoriasis, and lupus.

Partnering with leading global skin and health experts in Australia, Europe, and the USA, Solbari has obtained the Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation.
