Absolutely! Otentik meets with the AZ/NZS 4399:1996 standard which is the Australian and New Zealand standard for sun protection. The fabric the sunshade is made of is the same fabric used in bathing and swimming suits as well as sportswear. It is therefore the perfect material for our product. In addition to UPF50 sun protection it is also sand-repellent, strong, light weight, chlorine and saltwater resistant.
