Sick of sunscreen chaos on your family adventures? You’re not alone.
For busy mums who camp, caravan, or chase kids outdoors — sunscreen can feel like a never-ending battle. The mess. The meltdowns. The timer reminding you to reapply every two hours.
That’s why more Aussie mums are swapping the sunscreen bottle for something better: UPF50+ long sleeve fishing shirts.
Here's exactly why these sun-safe shirts are quickly becoming the must-have item for every camping trip:
1. All-Day Sun Protection — No Reapplying Required
Sunscreen fades fast. Sweat, swimming, and simply being active outdoors means you’re supposed to reapply every 2 hours. But let’s be honest… who’s tracking that while wrangling snacks and supervising the campfire?
Fishing shirts with UPF50+ rating block out 98% of harmful UV rays all day long. No timer. No drama. Just zip it up and go.
👕 2. Complete Coverage — Without the Missed Spots
Let’s talk about those forgotten areas — shoulders, necks, back of hands. The exact places that get burnt the fastest.
With a long sleeve fishing shirt, you’re instantly covered from wrist to collarbone, giving your family sun protection in all the spots sunscreen often misses.
Plus, kids can dress themselves — which means one less battle at the campsite.
🌱 3. Safer for Sensitive Skin (And the Planet)
Many sunscreens contain harsh chemicals like:
- Oxybenzone
- Octinoxate
- Fragrance and preservatives
These can irritate little ones’ sensitive skin and even disrupt hormones. Worse still? They’re damaging to marine life and our waterways.
Fishing shirts are chemical-free, reusable, and way more eco-friendly than squeezing out tube after tube of sunscreen.
🎣 4. Made for the Outdoors (And Mum Life)
Our Not a Fishing Shirt range is designed by mums who get it.
- Lightweight & breathable
- Quick-dry and moisture-wicking
- Wash-and-wear easy (even after muddy campsite messes)
- Durable enough for bushwalks, beach days, and playgrounds
Whether you’re packing the camper or pitching a tent, they’re built for real Aussie adventures - not just Instagram.
💕 5. No More Sunscreen Meltdowns
Raise your hand if your child has ever cried during sunscreen reapplication 🙋♀️
The stingy eyes. The sticky hands. The “Don’t touch me with that!” tantrums.
Swapping to sun-safe clothing means you skip the meltdowns completely. Just throw on the shirt, and you’re done. No mess. No battles. No bribery.
