What if your daily drive was increasing your risk of skin cancer?

You're exposed to harmful UVA rays every time you drive. Sun Smock blocks 98% of UV rays, instantly.

Your car doesn't protect you from sun damage

UVA rays can penetrate your side, rear and sunroof windows.

These rays don’t cause sunburn, so you won't feel the damage. Instead, they travel deeper into the skin, where they contribute to:

  • Skin cancer (like melanoma)
  • Premature ageing (wrinkles, pigmentation, collagen breakdown)
  • DNA damage, which can trigger mutations that lead to cancer and premature ageing

UVA rays are present all day, all year, even when it’s cloudy.

It's quiet, cumulative damage.

Historically, skin cancers have been more common on the right side of the body in Australia, and on the left side in the US.

Those are the driver’s sides.

28 years of cumulative damage

This man drove a truck for 28 years, and the resulting sun damage can be seen on the side of his face closest to the window.

“Ultraviolet A (UVA) rays transmit through window glass, penetrating the epidermis and upper layers of dermis … UVA has also been shown to induce substantial DNA mutations and direct toxicity, leading to the formation of skin cancer.”

- New England Journal of Medicine

Your short daily drives add up

Even quick trips - the kind most people don’t think twice about - can add up to years of sun exposure:

  • school drop-offs
  • trips to the shops
  • your daily commute

Just 30 minutes a day in the car is the equivalent of 4+ years of unprotected sun exposure over a lifetime.

Great solution for sensory sensitivities to sunscreen!

As someone with sensory issues who is also very sun-sensitive, I hated having to wear sunscreen on my arms and legs every time I needed to drive. For the last few years, I've been wearing UPF hiking clothes every time I go out—which isn't always practical, and definitely doesn't look great. The sun smock helps SO much because it's given me the freedom to wear whatever I want when I'm driving without worrying about UV protection. I mainly stay in indoor locations, so it felt silly to wear long sleeves all the time in summer just to drive and then have to bring a change of clothes, but now I can just leave the sun smock in the car and not have to worry. It's also super soft and comfortable. I wasn't sure on sizing, as I'm a unisex size L typically, but the XL/2XL fits me great. If you have long legs or are tall, it might not provide as much knee/leg protection (I'm around 5ft 4in/164cm, and it extends past my knees by about 3-5cm when sitting).

Great comfort and style

I love my Sun Smock! Kudos to the Aussies for expertise in sun protection! I am going to order one for my red haired, freckled daughter. Why haven't we seen this concept sooner?

I LOVE my sun smock

I LOVE my sun smock. I hesitated to buy and have this shipped to the US, but there aren’t really any alternatives domestically. It’s genius and unlike so many other things I’ve bought on the internet, it quickly became part of my everyday life. Sunscreen is sticky and often transfers onto my black interior, half the time I forget it, I would keepsunscreen in my car but it will boil and melt,etc etc. other sun wear is tight and cumbersome to put on. the smock design is so functional and I just throw it in my center console! Thank you!!

10/10. A “must have”

I live in an area with hot sunny summers. I had different kinds of UV protection gloves. This product was a bit expensive but eventually I decided to “invest”. What can I say - it exceeded my expectations. I strongly believe it’s a must have for summers. It’s light, soft and keeps you cool. (I should have gotten it sooner!)

Protection on your order
Love this product! I burn so easily even in the car on short drives

Love this product! I burn so easily even in the car on short drives. This is exactly what I needed. I like the loops in the hand covers to keep it over my hands without causing any issues while driving. The button on the back keeps it in place so it’s a mindless protection!

Amazing!!! I have never seen sun protection specifically for driving before. I have an hour commute each way and this saves me from having to put sunscreen on my arms. It is so light and breathable!

#OBSESSED

Yeah yeah yeah!! I’m SO excited to finally have this!! Before this I had full length gloves + a pullover to throw on my thighs while drive and I’d still have to put sunscreen on the exposed part of my arms between the gloves + sleeves as well as my chest. Now I just throw this on with my short gloves and call it a day!! Love that it covers the thighs, and the back flaps are great for when I’m wearing something that doesn’t have full sleeves so I don’t have to put sunscreen on those parts either. Plus the material is nice and helps keep you cool. I’ve needed something like this for so long and I’m so glad to finally have it!!

Exactly what I needed!

The ad spoke directly to me! I enjoy the outdoors plenty, but the majority of my sun exposure is while driving. I've tried draping a hoodie or tshirt over my arm or across my chest, when I had one availbe, but that was not a solution. The Sun Smock is comfortable and complete protection for my hands, arms, and chest. It is lightweight and doesn't make this perimenopausal mama more hot! The short length is perfect for sitting and not adding bulk under the seatbelt. Bonus, when I take it off I drape it over my steering wheel to block some of the heat.

As a mobile massage therapist in SoCal, I realized I need to be better about protecting my skin from the sun while driving—but with my job sunscreen won’t last past the first client, and in the middle of summer I keep forgetting to grab a jacket. Then I got an ad for Sun Smock and knew it was PERFECT! I was a little hesitant on the sizing, but the chart helped me decide to size up to 3xl/4xl to ensure I had enough room for my arms (about 16in/40cm). It’s easy to put on/take off, lightweight, has stretch, and I love the thumb holes. I also got the gloves and wear them on top of the sleeves to protect my hands when driving. Would definitely recommend getting a Sun Smock!

Love it! Super comfy and so glad I have it

Love it! Super comfy and so glad I have it. I work in medical sales so I am just in the car in Atlanta GA all day everyday and instead of spending $$$$$ to tint my car windows, this is amazing. I am always slathering myself with sunscreen every 2-3h and it’s slimy and gets all over my car. This is so convenient. I also got the little gloves too and love them!!

Perfect and easy to use

Perfect and easy to use. Wish I had found these sooner.

LOVE them! Bought for a road trip of 2,000 miles so I wouldn't worry about my sun exposure. What I REALLY love is that my dog is my co-pilot and I have been giving her a bunch of scratches, and my bare hand can touch her and not get fur on the gloves!

My favorite thing

It’s so convenient to keep this lightweight smock in the car.

Perfect!

This is a product that I have always wanted, and finally I have it. Perfect for everyday use, lightweight, easy to use and tuck away in the side door. The high neck is great and the long covers the lap, I feel confident that the sun is not getting to me.

Wonderful product

I use UV gloves in the car already but as we get closer to summer here, I do get tired of slathering my arms in sunscreen just to drive to and from work. The sun smock is light and cool to the touch, easy to store in the car, and is easy to put on. I'm looking forward to being able to use it all summer!

Everybody needs this

As I age, I’ve been looking for ways to preserve my youthful look. I know that the sun is the main culprit for skin aging, so I try to avoid it by wearing sunscreen and hat when outdoors. Since I am driving majority of the time, the sunsmock is everything I have hoped for. Comfortable, covers my arms, hands, and fingers in a comfortable, non-weird looking way. I also like that it doesn’t wrinkle my clothes underneath.

Great gift

Bought this as a gift for a sun-conscious friend. She really liked it! The fabric and stitching are high-quality and the embroidered logo is cute.

Easy to Use & Great Sun Protection

Good sun shirt for driving. I use this Sun Smock a lot as I do a lot of driving. Easy to wash. Stops sun on arms, backs of hands, chest area and top of legs. Would have preferred a nude/skin colour. I have it on my front passenger seat and can still pop it on when wearing my seatbelt. This product is the only one of its kind I could find online. I bought the longer one so it covers my top of legs as well. Would recommend to anyone who wants to protect themselves while driving or being a front seat passenger.

Great idea!

Really helped protect and keep me cool on my recent long drive :)

Sun Smock Turtle neck long.

The extra length provides more protection in summer in the car for my legs .I’m in my seventies & have great difficulty doing up & undoing the 2 small buttons at the back of the turtleneck.I’d much prefer one a large button.

AMAZING!

My hands are going to look incredible when I'm 50! These gloves are so easy to put on and are great because we often overlook putting sunscreen on our hands. Love love love!

Incredible product!

The Sun Smock Turtleneck solved a problem for me. Not having to lather my arms and sunscreen when I drive has been a godsend. If you are concerned about the sun, which we all should, get this!
