UV swimwear is the ideal complement to sunscreen and offers textile sun protection that neither washes off nor wears away. UV protective clothing is a particularly worthwhile investment for babies and children with sensitive skin, as it provides reliable protection for hours. Adults also benefit from breathable UV shirts and UV swimsuits that can be worn for water sports, sailing or stand-up paddling. Thanks to quick-drying materials, well-thought-out cuts and fashionable designs, you don't have to compromise on comfort or style.

UV Protection for Babies and Toddlers

For newborns and babies from 0 months, UV suits with long arms and legs as well as UV shirts with high collars are the first choice. They cover large areas of skin and, with a UPF value of 50+, offer almost complete protection from harmful radiation. For toddlers aged 1 and 2 years, there are also UV swimsuits, UV pants and UV caps that combine freedom of movement and comfort with high-quality sun protection. When choosing, it is worth paying attention to skin-friendly, pollutant-tested materials and a good fit – this ensures that the child remains optimally protected even during longer splashing and play phases in the water.

UV Swimwear for Adults

UV swimwear also offers great added value for adults. UV shirts, UV tank tops and UV swimsuits are suitable for anyone who spends extended time in the water or in the sun. Whether swimming, surfing, snorkeling or sailing – breathable and quick-drying fabrics ensure a pleasant wearing experience, while UPF protection protects the skin from sunburn and long-term UV damage. Especially for sports where repeated application of sunscreen is inconvenient, textile UV protective clothing offers a practical and effective alternative.

Quality, Safety & UPF Certification

When buying UV swimwear, the UPF value is the decisive quality feature. A UPF of 50+ blocks over 98 percent of UV radiation and offers the highest textile sun protection standard. In addition, you should look for skin-friendly, pollutant-tested materials such as Oeko-Tex certification, which confirms that the textiles are free from substances harmful to health. High-quality UV swimwear is also characterized by chlorine- and saltwater-resistant fabrics, flat and non-chafing seams as well as a comfortable, non-restrictive fit – an important factor especially for active children.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is UV swimwear and how does UV protection work?▾
UV swimwear is made from specially woven or coated textiles that absorb or reflect ultraviolet radiation. The protection is indicated as a UPF value (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) and, depending on the value, blocks the majority of harmful UVA and UVB rays – completely without chemical sunscreen.
Which UPF value is recommended for children?▾
For babies, toddlers and children, a UPF value of 50+ is recommended. This blocks over 98 percent of UV radiation and offers the highest textile sun protection available on the market. UPF 50+ is the safest choice, especially for longer stays in the water or at the beach.
Does UV swimwear also provide protection when wet?▾
Yes, high-quality UV swimwear retains its protective effect even when wet. Unlike conventional cotton T-shirts, which lose a large part of their protective effect in water, UV textiles are specially designed to provide constant protection against UV radiation both dry and wet.
How do I properly care for and wash UV swimwear?▾
UV swimwear should be rinsed with clear fresh water after each use to remove chlorine and salt residues. It is best washed at low temperatures with a mild detergent without fabric softener. Avoid vigorous wringing, machine drying and direct sunlight when drying, as this can impair the material and UV protection in the long term.
From what age is UV swimwear suitable for babies and toddlers?▾
UV swimwear is beneficial from birth. For babies from 0 months, there are special UV suits with long arms and legs that provide all-round protection. Since baby skin is particularly sensitive to sun exposure, dermatologists recommend textile UV protection as the first protective measure – in addition to a sunscreen suitable for babies.
Which brands are particularly popular for UV swimwear?▾
Proven brands for UV swimwear are Playshoes, Cabania, Sunblocker, uv.FASHION and LSC. They offer a wide selection of UV shirts, UV suits and UV swimsuits for babies, children and adults and place great value on certified UPF protection, skin-friendly materials and a good fit.
Can UV swimwear also be worn in everyday life or during sports?▾
Yes, UV swimwear is suitable not only for the beach and swimming pool, but also for outdoor activities such as water sports, stand-up paddling, surfing, sailing or spending time in the garden. UV shirts are breathable, quick-drying and also provide reliable sun protection during sweaty activities.
How long does UV protection last in UV swimwear?▾
The durability of UV protection depends on care and frequency of use. With proper care, high-quality UV swimwear retains its UPF protection over several seasons. However, visible signs of wear such as stretched fabric, thin spots or faded colors can indicate a decreasing protective effect – then a replacement is recommended.
