Train outdoors with performance gear designed for Australian conditions. Combatra UPF 50+ gear includes rashguards, arm sleeves, compression pants, compression shorts and sports bras made for combat sports, running, driving, outdoor work and long sun-exposed sessions.

Fabric rating basics

What UPF 50+ Means

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. It measures how much ultraviolet radiation passes through fabric. UPF 50 and UPF 50+ are classed as Excellent Protection under AS 4399:2020, and UPF 50 rated material blocks about 98% of UV radiation in supported test conditions.

The rating applies to the fabric and covered area. Real-world protection can change with garment coverage, stretch, wet fabric, wear and product design.

Safe UPF wording

  • UPF 50+ rated fabric where stated.
  • Tested to AS 4399:2020 where supported.
  • Excellent Protection Classification for supported tested fabric.
  • Designed for sun protection and active Australian lifestyles.

Why UV Protection Matters for Outdoor Training in Australia

Australia has strong UV exposure, and outdoor training can mean long sessions under direct sun. For athletes, fighters and active workers, UPF clothing helps add coverage without relying only on sunscreen.

Combatra UPF gear is built for movement: grappling rounds, no-gi training, road runs, beach sessions, driving, coaching and day-to-day active use.

Avoid product confusion

What Is Not a UPF Product

Not every Combatra product should be treated as UV protection clothing. UPF claims should not be applied to BJJ Gis, Gi Pants, BJJ Belts, Karate Uniforms, MMA Shorts, Muay Thai Shorts, Boxing Shorts, Training Shorts, Cotton Tees, Hoodies, Drawstrings or Bags unless a product page clearly states supported UPF fabric information.

This distinction matters because customers should know exactly which products are designed for sun protection and which are built for other training purposes.

Use it properly

How to Use UPF Gear Safely

Choose the right garment for the exposed area you want to cover. Long sleeves, arm sleeves, compression pants and rashguards give more coverage than short, loose or low-coverage clothing.

UPF clothing is one part of sun safety. For long outdoor sessions, also use SPF 50 or SPF 50+ sunscreen on exposed skin, seek shade where possible, wear sunglasses and consider a hat when training allows.

No guaranteed protection claims

Combatra avoids unsupported approval, treatment or guarantee wording. UPF support is product and material specific.

Trust and source note

Sun Safety Context

Combatra uses UPF wording carefully. Public guidance from Cancer Council Australia explains UPF ratings, garment coverage and the 98% UV figure for UPF 50 / 50+. ARPANSA explains AS/NZS 4399:2020 and notes that UPF depends on tested material and covered skin area.
