The Results Are In! ARPANSA Approved - Shade That Gives You 90%+ UVE Protection :)

The Hottest Trend for 2025? Staying Cool. Literally.

As summer fast approaches, we all start dreaming up our summer wardrobe - the hottest trends, the coolest styles, and what colours are in (and absolutely out). But let’s be real: when do we actually start thinking about sun protection? Is it a last-minute grab of sunscreen from the servo? Dusting off that trusty old hat that’s seen better days?

How about something totally new?

Say hello to the coolest trend of 2025: shade. Yep, shade is officially hot.

Here at sunboli, we’re flipping the script on sun safety with sustainable umbrellas that are as good for the planet as they are for your skin. Our secret weapon? Hemp canopies. They’re stylish, biodegradable, and - drumroll please - officially tested by ARPANSA, Australia’s own radiation safety agency.

And guess what? Our hemp canopies came back glowing (not from sunburn, don’t worry). They block up to 98% of harmful UV rays, depending on the colour. Even our lightest, breeziest white canopy gives you solid everyday protection that doesn’t melt off, rub off, or require reapplication every two hours.

But wait… what even is UVE?

Let’s get into it. UVE (Ultraviolet Effectiveness) is the rating used by scientists when testing how much UV gets through shade, like umbrellas or shade sails. It’s not the same as SPF (that’s for lotions) or UPF (that’s for clothing).

So if someone’s advertising a UPF or SPF rating for a shade structure? That’s a red flag, babe. Shade is shade, and UVE is the gold standard.

So what does sunboli protection actually mean?

• Our white hemp canopy blocks 90% of UV rays, giving you a dependable level of sun protection that won’t wash off, fade, or get forgotten in your beach bag.

• Darker shades block even more - up to 98% - but lighter shades like white reflect heat, so you stay cooler for longer.

• That means you’re getting both UV protection and infrared (IR) heat relief in one breezy little beauty.

Whether you're lounging poolside, dancing at a festival, or exploring your favourite coastal trail, your sunboli is throwing shade in all the right ways.

Our Promise: No gimmicks. No greenwashing. Just reliable, planet-friendly shade.

With protection you don’t have to slather, materials that won’t outlive your grandchildren, and a silhouette that turns heads, we’re here to help you step into the sun smarter - not sweatier.

So… What’s Going in Your Beach Bag First This Summer?

A bottle of SPF? Sure. A floppy hat? Cute. But if you want something that actually keeps you cool, protected, and looking fire - sunboli’s got you covered. Literally.

Because shade isn’t just a vibe. It’s a movement.
