Does the fabric maintain its UPF 50+ protection when wet?

Absolutely. The UPF 50+ certification of this fabric holds even in wet conditions, ensuring your skin remains protected from UV rays, whether the clothing is dry or after extended time in the water.

Does this product dry quickly after swimming?

Yes. The fabric in this product is designed to help water drain quickly, leading to faster drying for improved comfort and a pleasant feel.

How should I care for it to maintain its quality?

Although it is resistant to chlorine and salt water, in order to prolong the durability of this product, we recommend rinsing it with clean water at the end of a day where it has been in contact with salt or chlorinated water.

If you wish to machine wash this product, we recommend that you follow the care instructions specified on this product sheet or on the label of your garment or accessory.

Is the fabric breathable and able to wick away perspiration?

Our sun protective expertise has allowed us to develop fabrics that filter UV rays mechanically.

Do I need to apply sunscreen underneath my UPF 50+ clothing?

With Ker Sun sun protective clothing and accessories, there’s no need to apply sunscreen on covered areas.

However, for full protection, it’s important to apply sunscreen to any exposed skin. We recommend applying sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapplying every two hours or after swimming, in accordance with the instructions for the product you’re using.

This garment is certified UPF 50+, providing you with the highest level of sun protection. Every fabric, regardless of color, undergoes rigorous testing under the European standard EN 13758-1 for each new production run, ensuring maximum, reliable, and safe protection.

What sets a Ker Sun UPF 50+ clothing apart from regular ready-to-wear clothing?

Ker Sun's UPF 50+ clothing does more than dress you: it effectively shields you from sun-related risks. This protection is built on three pillars:

  1. Exceptional sun protection: Our clothes are made from UPF 50+ certified fabrics. This long-lasting protection creates a permanent barrier against UV rays, going far beyond what standard ready-to-wear clothing can offer.
  2. Optimal coverage for reinforced protection: Each Ker Sun piece is thoughtfully designed to protect the most sun-exposed areas (arms, neck, hands, face, chest, legs etc.) while maintaining elegance and everyday ease of use.
  3. Maximum comfort, even in hot weather: Designed with heat in mind, our breathable, lightweight fabrics and airflow-friendly cuts help keep you cool while staying shielded from UV rays.

Conventional ready-to-wear clothing, which isn’t designed for sun protection, consistently lacks these benefits. At Ker Sun, our mission centers on creating garments that truly defend you from the sun, allowing everyone to enjoy outdoor activities with peace of mind.

Passen kleine Hände leider nicht…

Ich bin der Anleitung gefolgt und habe, trotz meinen kleinen Hände, Größe M bestellt. Leider waren die Handschuhe mir dann zu groß. Daraufhin habe ich sie zurückgeschickt und erneut bestellt, dieses Mal in Größe S. Leider sind auch die noch zu groß und meine Fingerkuppen sind kaum sichtbar. Der kleine Finger wird sogar vollständig vom Handschuh „verschluckt“. Leider existiert eine Größe XS nicht. Zurücksenden werde ich sie trotzdem nicht, da ich die Verpackung nicht mehr habe und die bezahlten Versandkosten außerdem nicht zurückerstattet werden.

Guten Tag,

vielen Dank für Ihr ausführliches Feedback, und wir entschuldigen uns aufrichtig für die Unannehmlichkeiten, die Ihnen entstanden sind.

Es tut uns wirklich leid, dass weder Größe M noch Größe S Ihnen gepasst haben, obwohl Sie unseren Größenempfehlungen gefolgt sind. Es ist vollkommen verständlich, dass dies frustrierend ist.

Deinen Wunsch nach einer Größe XS werden wir direkt an unser Produktteam weiterleiten – solche Rückmeldungen sind für die Entwicklung unserer Kollektion sehr wertvoll.

Nochmals vielen Dank für deine Geduld und dein Vertrauen.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen.

Poorly made

These gloves were very expensive but they’re poorly made. All the seams are rough, with threads poking out of the top of the fingers. I’ll need to repair them very soon. I’ll look elsewhere for gloves in the future.

Dear Madam,

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, and we are truly sorry to hear that your Mojave gloves did not meet the quality standards you expected. Uneven stitching and loose threads are simply unacceptable, and we sincerely apologize.

We would very much like to find a solution for you. Please feel free to contact us directly at bonjour@ker-sun.com, and we will do our best to resolve the situation.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely.

Ho la vitiligine. Con questi guanti mi proteggo senza più stress. Le mani rimangono protette, fresche, non sudano. È come non averli. Sono stata sotto il sole della Giordania a 40+ gradi con sole a picco senza alcuno stree da raggi UV.

Point faible

J'utilise ces gants pour la pratique du wingfoil. Mais mains sont donc constamment en préhension de poignées. Le plastique en relief collé sur les gants pour améliorer la préhension a commencé à se décoller dès la première utilisation et continue à se détacher. Ce n'est pas trop grave si le gant lui-même est solide. A voir à l'usage...

Pratiques et très efficace.

Pratiques, très efficaces, ne glisse pas sur le volant. Bémol : très salissant, finitions pas si soignées que ça (surjet intérieur qui fait des épaisseurs autour des doigts, coutures mal alignées). Pour le prix, j'attendais du plus haut de gamme. Par ailleurs, joue très bien son rôle.

Guanti protezione 50+

Perfetti. Con la vitiligine sulle mani quando guido sono la protezione giusta

Buongiorno,

La ringraziamo per il suo gentile commento! Siamo davvero felici di sapere che i nostri guanti con protezione UPF 50+ le offrano la protezione di cui ha bisogno durante la guida.

Abbiamo però notato che la sua recensione è accompagnata da una valutazione di una sola stella. C'è stato forse qualche problema con il prodotto o con il suo ordine?

Se si tratta di un errore nella valutazione, le saremmo molto grati se volesse modificarla.

Restiamo a sua disposizione e saremo lieti di aiutarla.

Cordiali saluti,

the gloves are great and palms have this silicone that makes it a bit sticky, which helps with grip. the oniy thing is that the fingers in the gloves are quite long for the size, so my shorter fingers are swimming in it a bit. will get the version with the shorter fingers next time.

Aanrader, wij gebruiken ze dagelijks!

Wat een super product. Ik heb twee paar gekocht. In eerste instantie voor mezelf op de fiets, en ik hoopte dat het ook iets zou zijn voor mijn moeder van 91, die huidkanker heeft op haar handen. Nou dat was in de roos! We gebruiken ze nu allebei dagelijks, ik ter voorkoming, zij ter bescherming. Geen geklieder meer met zonnebrandcrème die je er toch meteen weer afwast of afveegt.
Gebruik: Ze dragen echt heel prettig, het is heerlijke stof die prachtig aansluit maar ook licht en ademend is; we hebben zelfs met 30 graden geen zweethandjes, het houdt eerder koel (wij hebben allebei de beige versie, misschien maakt de kleur uit?). Ze blijven bij ons allebei goed in vorm: wij houden van grote ringen en de handschoenen passen daar moeiteloos overheen, zonder te gaan lubberen. De grip aan de binnenkant zit goed is heel handig met fietsen/autorijden etc. Uittrekken: gaat bij mij in een seconde dankzij datzelfde laagje. Mijn moeder doet dat wegens pijnlijke handen vinger voor vinger, maar dat gaat ook heel goed. De handschoenen rollen op tot een piepklein rolletje.
Tot slot: ook leuk is dat het erg mooie en sjiek uitziende handschoenen zijn, je mag er zeker mee gezien worden. De verpakking was ook erg mooi, het was echt leuk om cadeau te geven. De afhandeling en service was ook uitstekend. Ik kom absoluut terug bij deze winkel.

Un peu trop grands je n'ai pas du prendre la bonne dimension.

Bonjour,

Merci beaucoup pour votre retour.

Nous proposons des tailles allant du S au XL, le XL étant notre plus grande taille. Il est donc possible qu'une taille plus petite vous aurait mieux convenu.

Si les gants n'ont pas été utilisés, vous pouvez tout à fait effectuer un retour grâce à notre étiquette de retour gratuite. Vous pourrez alors, si vous le souhaitez, commander une taille inférieure qui vous conviendra peut-être davantage.

Nous disposons également d'un guide des tailles sur la page produit, qui peut vous aider à choisir la taille la plus adaptée.

N'hésitez pas à nous contacter si vous avez besoin d'aide pour choisir la bonne taille.

Bien cordialement,
L'équipe Ker Sun
