Dermatologists
A/Prof Michelle Rodrigues
Dermatologist"I always emphasise the importance of comprehensive sun protection to my patients—not just for skin cancer prevention, but also to combat premature aging and hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure. Dermatologists know that sunscreen isn’t enough to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. This is where Solbari’s UPF50+ range plays a critical role, providing an additional barrier with at least 98% protection against UVA and UVB rays. I particularly value how Solbari garments combine style with practical design features—such as high necklines and lightweight, breathable fabrics—while meeting industry standards and offering exceptional durability."
Dr Ryan de Cruz
Dermatologist"When it comes to protecting our skin against UV radiation, I am a firm believer that SPF 50+ sunscreen is not enough. I always recommend UPF 50+ clothing and accessories including a wide-brim hat, long sleeves or other hand/arm coverage, and trousers/swimwear that protect our legs as well. Solbari is a hero sun-protective clothing brand that delivers a range of quality UPF50+ options with outstanding protection. I am proud to recommend such a forward-thinking, Aussie-owned clothing brand that reinforces the need to protect our skin as a whole.”
Dr Priska McDonald
Dermatologist"When it comes to skin cancers, prevention is key. One of my main roles as a dermatologist is educating patients about the importance of sun protection. Although sunscreen is paramount, combining it with sun protective clothing with a rating of UPF 50+ offers the best protection. Solbari has curated a product range that provides effective, practical and stylish clothing to protect all Australians in the sun, no matter what they are doing. As a new mum, I especially love their fingerless gloves and wide brim hats for the long pram walks."

Athletes
Tony Richardson
Former NFL Fullback“I love everything about Solbari, from the texture of their clothing to the protection it provides from harmful UV rays. I have learned so much from researching their products and understanding how they protect me from sun damage. Plus, the fabric looks good on me! I’m so thankful to have been introduced to this incredible company.”
Steph Prem
World champion snowboarder“I think it’s easy to forget to apply sunscreen in the snow because you’re so covered up from head to toe, but in fact the UV rays are 150% more harmful compared to being at the beach. For me it’s a dual combo effort of a visor and sunscreen on the face.”
Michael Klim
Australian Olympian“Find a sunscreen that suits your skin type. So, something that is extra light, super absorbent, 50+. And I think applying regularly, before you actually go out, on dry skin, is probably my number one advice. Once your skin is sweating, or is wet, it’s probably too late. And once you get red, it’s too late.

Survivors
Jarryd Roughead
Melanoma Survivor“Prior to hearing about the Solbari long sleeve polo, the only UPF clothing I was aware of was in uniforms for construction workers/ tradies that are usually working outside and are exposed to a lot of sun. The Solbari long sleeve polo is light material and easy to style with different attire. It is certainly something I wish was around when I was a player. I now wear this to both training and office days.”
Leah Adams
Stage IA Melanoma Survivor“Solbari UPF 50+ sleeves are an absolute must while you’re in the car for a long drive. They are soft, lightweight & super comfortable. I am so happy that this company makes sun safe clothing in order to reduce the incidences of skin cancer in Australia but also all across the world.”
Andrew Mackinnon
Stage IA Melanoma Survivor“What surprised me about Solbari is the fabric, it’s the softest piece of clothing I own, it feels like sheer luxury! I actually bought a hat to cover my ears after my incident with Melanoma, a friend put me onto them and now I’m stuck on their polos.”
