Common questions

Are your products suitable for rowing?

As the official sunscreen supplier for British Rowing, our products are stress-tested by elite athletes, both on and off the water. Our mineral sun sticks are quick and easy to use, and our UPF 50+ clothing provides moisture-wicking technology, helping you stay fully protected.

Is your SPF waterproof?

Yes! LifeJacket’s water-resistant SPF products are designed to withstand sweat and water exposure, ensuring long-lasting protection while rowing.

Do you offer anti-chafe products for rowers?

Yes, our Anti-Chafe Bar is designed to prevent friction, especially around the arms and legs from repetitive rowing movements.

Do I need to wear SPF year round?

UV exposure happens even on cloudy or cooler days, with up to 80% of harmful UV rays penetrating through cloud. Daily SPF use prevents long-term damage. We recommend at least our daily SPF moisturiser, plus using SPF 50+ in more exposed areas.
