FAQ

What size should I get?

It fits true to size, so go with your usual Zorali size. The size guide is on this page, and if you're between sizes just get in touch and we'll help.

How much sun protection does it give?

It's rated UPF50+, which means it blocks at least 98% of UV rays. Our Daylight™ knits (the Sun Hoody, Tees and Neck Gaiter) are UPF30+, which blocks about 97%.

Does it pack down?

Yes, it packs down into its own pocket.

What is the Polygiene fabric treatment?

Polygiene is a Swedish fabric treatment for odour control. It helps stop the growth of the bacteria that cause odour, so the fabric stays fresher for longer. That means you can wear it more between washes, and washing less saves water and energy and helps your gear last longer.

How do I wash it?

Cold gentle machine wash (30°C), no bleach, no dry cleaning. Hang it to dry or tumble dry on low.

Why we made it

Designed for the days we move unimpeded

There is a version of ourselves that only shows up outside. Lighter, breezier, present in the moment. It turns up somewhere between sunrise and when the phone signal drops out, nothing but the winding trail ahead. Our Daylight™ range is built to help amplify that feeling: deliberately light, breathable, and gently protective against all-day sun.

The sun-protective kit we engineered for ourselves

In Australian conditions the story's all too familiar: sun-protective gear left us feeling hot, stiff, and dressed for safari; and breathable, lightweight kit offered no sun protection at all. Nothing looked good enough to take us from ridgeline mornings to cafe afternoons. So we embarked on a 24-month adventure to turn our wish list into a check list for our Daylight™ range.

The fabric test was simple, yet brutal: if we wouldn't choose to put it on in peak summer conditions, it was a fail. After months of rejecting fabric after fabric, in the middle ground between sun-protection and lightness we found a sweet spot. For tees and sun hoodies this sits at UPF34, which in Australia is labelled UPF30+. For button-down shirts, shorts, pants, and dresses we landed at UPF50+, because that's what you need during the longest days chasing the sun.

Tested in the terrains where we love to linger longest

The samples went everywhere we did, from Victorian High Country snowgrass to South Island New Zealand's changeable conditions and harsh UV glare. Overnighters, multi-day walks, and a heap of packrafting, which is a fine way to find out how a fabric dries. Then came the ultimate test: the Cooloola hike in peak Queensland summer, hot, humid, and blazing sunshine. We didn't overheat, everything felt breezy, and we stayed protected.

We could finally say, "Yep, I want to wear these again and again". They felt that good to pull on.

Women's Daylight™ Motion Dress

Possibly the truest manifestation of our design philosophy, Daylight™ Motion Dress fills what we saw as a gaping hole in Australian active apparel. Weighing just 201 grams in a women's 10, its four-way stretch nylon offers unimpeded movement, and supreme breathability in hot weather. It's become Elise's go-to on sun-exposed days, and pairs nicely with a Long-Sleeve T-Shirt for extra coverage. Best of all, it transitions from trail to town with no costume change required.

So, that's the story behind Daylight™. Kit that's light on purpose, made by two people who wanted to stay out a bit longer. We hope it does the same for you.
