Sun protection

Proper sun protection clothing is essential for anyone spending regular time on the water — reflected UV from the surface doubles your exposure compared to dry land.

UPF 50+ rated garments block 98% of UV radiation across every surface they cover, offering more reliable and longer-lasting protection than sunscreen alone. Full-length leggings, long-sleeve tops, and sun hoodies are now standard kit for kitesurfers, SUP paddlers, and windsurfers across tropical and summer destinations where sun exposure is highest.

• UPF 50+ rating: laboratory certified UV blocking across all covered areas
• Lightweight construction: cool and comfortable in warm water temperatures
• Full coverage options: leggings, tops, hoods, and suits available

ION offers a comprehensive sun protection range designed for the demands of active watersports — not just beach lounging.
