Sun Glove FAQs

Sun Gloves are made from 92% recycled polyester, 8% spandex.  

Sun Sleeves are made from 90% nylon, 10% spandex.

Both fabrics are easy to care for. Gentle handwash in warm water and drip dry.  No ironing is necessary. 

What if I choose the wrong sized sun gloves, or don't like the colour when they arrive?

Send us an email at hello@sunbella.com.au and we'll arrange a swap.

Is the sun glove fabric cool to wear? Does it "breath"?

Yes, we tested dozens of fabrics, including bamboos, and these ones were the coolest by far.

How do my sun gloves block the sun?

Our unique fabrics have been rated UPF50+ by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Authority.

Many other UPF50+ fabrics have horrible chemicals added to give them added sun blocking features.  Not only can these chemicals be bad for your skin, but they can also wear off.  

We do not use chemicals on our fabrics. We use a uniquely tight weave to achieve the highest UV protection possible, meaning that the fabrics can block 98% of UV rays. 

How do I wash my sun gloves? 

Gentle machine wash (<30°) using mild detergent and hang to dry in shade. Please don't iron, tumble dry or dry clean.
