Anniou EN 13758-2 Tested Clothing: Premium Sun Protection

Sun protection has evolved far beyond slathering on sunscreen and seeking shade. Sun protective clothing offers a solution that combines style, comfort, and scientifically proven UV protection. Anniou clothing leads this revolution with their EN 13758-2 tested and approved garments, ensuring you and your family stay protected without compromising on fashion.

The dangers of UV exposure are well-documented, from premature ageing to serious skin conditions. Yet many people still rely solely on sunscreen, which can wear off, wash away, or be inconsistently applied. Quality sun protective clothing provides reliable, all-day coverage that moves with you.

What is EN 13758-2?

EN 13758-2 represents the European standard for testing and rating textiles' sun-protective properties. This rigorous testing protocol measures how effectively fabrics block harmful UV radiation, both UVA and UVB rays.

The standard evaluates several key factors:

Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF): Similar to SPF in sunscreens, UPF indicates how much UV radiation can penetrate the fabric. A UPF 50+ rating means only 1/50th of UV rays reach your skin.

Fabric construction: The testing examines weave density, fibre type, and fabric treatments that contribute to UV protection.

Durability: EN 13758-2 testing includes washing and wear simulation to ensure protection remains consistent over time.

Only fabrics that meet strict criteria earn EN 13758-2 approval, making this certification your guarantee of genuine sun protection.

Anniou's Commitment to Superior Protection

Anniou doesn't simply meet EN 13758-2 standards—they exceed them. Every garment in their collection undergoes independent laboratory testing to verify its protective properties before reaching customers.

The brand's commitment extends beyond compliance. Anniou manufacture and develop with UV protection fabrics that offer maximum protection whilst maintaining breathability and comfort. Their manufacturing process incorporates UV-blocking treatments that penetrate deep into fabric fibres, ensuring protection won't fade or wash out.

Quality control measures include batch testing and random sampling to maintain consistency across their entire range. This meticulous approach means every Anniou garment delivers
