Ombra & Sole FAQ's

SUNGLASSES

Are polarised sunglasses safe for kids?
Yes! Our UV400 polarised sunglasses block 99% of UVA and UVB rays, making them safe, stylish, and protective for little eyes.

What age are your sunglasses for?
Our sunnies are made for babies aged 6 months to 10 years — covering early years through primary school.

Are UV and polarised the same?
No. UV protection blocks harmful rays (ours are UV400, category 3), while polarisation reduces glare. Both are important for full sun safety.

 HATS & CAPS

Should children wear hats outside?
Yes! A UPF50+ hat protects against 98% of UVA and UVB rays — essential for delicate skin in Australian sun.

What if my child won’t wear a hat?
Start young, make it fun, and lead by example! Praise and consistency help kids build sun-safe habits from the start.

SAND FREE HOODED TOWELS

Are the towels really sand-free?
Yes — the premium microfibre fabric repels sand so it shakes off easily, even when wet.

How quickly do they dry?
They’re made from fast-drying microfibre that dries up to 3x faster than regular cotton towels.

Are they suitable for swimming and beach days?
Absolutely — perfect for the beach, pool, swimming lessons, and holidays.

How do I wash the towels?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water, then air dry. Avoid fabric softener to maintain absorbency.

SIZING

What size should I order?
Check our sizing guide. If unsure, size up — adjustable clip backs allow for tightening.
