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 may 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.

This is exactly what I've been needing for sun coverage while driving. Light, comfy and looks nice worn as a shirt/cardigan for walking/exercise or a day outdoors with the kids.

Love!

I love the feel of the fabric - it feels good quality while also being lightweight and comfy. I love that my hands and arms are protected from the sun now when I drive. It is so much nicer than having sticky arms from sunscreen!

Great colour and fit

Great colour and fit. I’m a size 10/12 and got the M/L. Cool fabric so not too hot to wear in the car on a hot day.

Love this Sunsmock so much

Love this Sunsmock so much. I do wish the neck went up higher to cover all my neck. I suggest that you by once size bigger than you think because it will shrink if you dry it. I bought a large dried it and it shrank and was too small. But I bought larger one, washed and dried it and it fits perfect. Highly recommend for long drives or an extremely hot place where the sun is out all time, like in Nevada USA.

EXCELLENT Customer Service!

I’m in the US, and a friend purchased the driving gloves for me. Long story short, the package kind of ended up in a limbo state where I didn’t receive it, then USPS said they mailed it back, but the Sun Smock team hasn’t received it back either. So unfortunately I never got to try the gloves ): But I explained my whole ordeal to them and they were very sympathetic and understanding to my situation. They had very quick responses, were cooperative, and were transparent with how RTS packages/shipping costs/refunds work. They reminded me they could have contacted Australia Post on my behalf so I didn’t have to make an international call (I shoulda thought of that), and left an inquiry with USPS as well. Even though they never received their gloves back, they understood the hassle I went through with trying to get the package and ended up giving my friend a full refund. Their customer service is beyond excellent!! I’m so grateful for their generosity and understanding. Your business is worth it for the customer service alone! Thanks Sun Smock team!!

Overall great product

Really happy with my sunsmock, albeit I wish reviews were public on the website :'). I love the lightweight, comfortable fabric, and the fact that I'm able to get it on and off fairly quickly. Contrary to some concerns, I had no issue driving, gripping the steering wheel or my shift ****. I tested this in LA traffic for multiple hours, so I can confidently say I had no issues there.

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!)

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!!
