FAQ - Heat & Use
Lightweight, breathable clothing that allows airflow and keeps you comfortable is key. PRTECT is designed specifically for warm climates, helping you stay cool, protected, and comfortable all day.
Heatwave dressing means choosing clothing designed for high temperatures — using breathable fabrics, sun protection, and silhouettes that keep you cool and comfortable.
FAQ - Sun Protection, Heat & Travel
UPF 50+ fabric blocks at least 98% of harmful UV rays, helping protect your skin from sun exposure.
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and measures how much UV radation a fabric blocks. The higher the UPF rating, the greater the protection. UPF is specifically designed for clothing and differs from SPF which is used for sunscreen.
Yes, all PRTECT garments are made with UPF 50+ fabrics that provide built-in sun protection — without the need for extra layers.
UPF clothing provides consistent coverage that doesn’t wear off, making it a reliable complement to sunscreen — especially during long days in the sun.
Most regular clothes are not tested for UV protection. Thin fabrics, loose weaves, and light colors often allow UV rays to pass through. Fealing covered does not necessarily mean being protected from UV radation.
FAQ - Comfort & Function
Yes, PRTECT garments are made from lightweight, breathable fabrics that allow airflow and help keep your body cool in warm temperatures.
No — PRTECT is specifically designed for heat. The fabrics allow airflow and don’t trap heat, helping you stay comfortable even in high temperatures.
Yes, the fabrics help move moisture away from your skin and dry quickly, keeping you fresh and comfortable throughout the day.
Yes, the clothes are particularly suitable for women in the monpause due to the moisture wicking function. Hot flushes will absorb into the fabric, avoiding sweat marks.
FAQ - Travel & Everyday Use
Yes, the dresses are perfect for travel. They work across long days, changing environments, and strong sun exposure. One dress can replace multiple outfits while providing comfort and protection.
Yes, they are designed for extended wear. Comfortable cuts and breathable fabrics make them suitable from morning to evening. They are intended for everyday use, not only short outdoor activities.

Yes, they are often lightweight and wrinkle-resistant. This makes them practical for packing light and travling efficiently. One garment can serve multiple purposes on a trip.
FAQ – Washing & Caring for Your Garments
We recommend washing at 30°C on a gentle cycle and avoid spinning. This will reduce wrinkling of the garments.
Our high-quality sun-protective fabrics are manufactured to retain the UPF rating over time. We use fabrics where the protection is woven into the fabric which means it never washes out.
No. To maintain the fabric quality and fit, hang the garments wet. Avoid tumble drying. Also avoid druing in direct sunlight.
If your PRTECT garment has wrinkles after packaging, spray the garment with water or hang in a humid shower. You can iron the garments on very low temperature but bear in mind that the fabric has a large percentage of elastane. It is better to steam the garment than iron.
FAQ - Material, Quality & Sustainability
The garments are made from fabrics engineered to block UV radiation. We use fabrics from a leading Italian manufactured where the protection is woven into the fabric. This means that protection never washes out.
Our dresses are designed in Sweden and produced in Europe. Fabrics are sourced from Italy, known for high-quality textile production. This ensures consistent quality and responsible manufacturing.
European production allows for better quality control and fair working conditions. It also reduces unnecessary transport and supports long-term durability. This results in garments made to last.
Heatwave dresses can be a more sustainable choice when designed for longevity, versatility and everyday use. Durable garments reduce the need for frequent replacement. Responsible sourcing and production further improve sustainability. Our manufacturer is a leader in sustainable manfucturing technologies in order to reduce the carbon footprint.
Sun-protective clothing are suitable for anyone spending time in strong sunlight. They are especially useful for people living
in hot climates, traveling, or concerned about long-term skin health. Protection can be both practical and stylish.
FAQ - High-UV Regions and Australia
Yes, our heatwave dresses are highly suitable for Australia. UV levels are consistently high, making everyday protection important. UPF-rated clothing provides reliable, long-lasting sun protection.
Australia experiences higher UV levels due to its geographic location, climate, and thinner ozone layer. This results in stronger UV radiation year-round. Protective clothing plays an important role in daily sun safety.
In high-UV climates, clothing should provide
coverage and verified sun protection. UPF-rated garments reduce direct UV exposure while remaining comfortable in heat. Hats, sunglasses, and sunscreen complement protective clothing.
Yes, dermatologists often recommend sun-protective clothing as part of a comprehensive sun protection strategy. Clothing provides consistent protection without the need for reapplication. It is especially useful for prolonged outdoor exposure.
