The UV sunsuit protects your baby from neck to knee – all in a single garment. Nothing slips, nothing gets forgotten. UPF 80 certified according to UV STANDARD 801, sewn in Croatia.
Maximum coverage, minimal effort
A UV sunsuit is the easiest way to comprehensively protect your baby from UV radiation. One garment, one quick step – and the upper body, belly, back, and thighs are completely protected. No matching different pieces, no risk of the shirt riding up and exposing the belly.
Babies are constantly being lifted, turned, and moved around. When using a separate shirt and pants, the top frequently rides up – leaving the sensitive belly unprotected in the sun. A one-piece sunsuit stays exactly where it belongs, no matter how active your baby is.
When a one-piece sunsuit is the better choice
A UV shirt and UV pants make a good combination. However, in certain situations, a sunsuit is the smarter solution.
UV Sunsuit
- Slip on one piece – and you're good to go
- No riding up, no exposed belly
- Maximum coverage in a single step
- Ideal for babies who are constantly on the move
- Less sunscreen needed (only face, hands, feet)
- No need to match or combine different pieces
- Easier for quick clothing changes at the beach
Separate Shirt + Pants
- Shirt rides up while crawling and being lifted
- Gaps at the belly with every movement
- Two separate pieces to put on and take off
- Both items must fit perfectly at the same time
- Higher risk of leaving spots unprotected
- More individual items to pack and wash
- More flexible for fluctuating temperatures
Having both is ideal: The sunsuit for maximum protection on beach days and excursions. Separate shirts and pants when you need more flexibility – for example, on days when only the upper body or only the legs need coverage.
Where a UV sunsuit makes the most sense
| Situation | Is a sunsuit ideal? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Beach & Ocean | ✓ Perfect | One piece, full protection, quick-drying |
| Wading Pool | ✓ Perfect | In and out of the water, dries in minutes |
| Vacation | ✓ Perfect | One item instead of three – less luggage, quick dressing |
| Crawling Stage | ✓ Perfect | No riding up, protects both belly and back |
| Playground | ✓ Very good | Durable, stays securely in place while playing |
| Extremely hot days (35 °C+) | Good, but consider shorties + shirt | In extreme heat, less fabric can feel more comfortable |
A UV sunsuit made of polyamide-elastane is lighter and more breathable than a cotton bodysuit. Babies are less likely to overheat in it compared to conventional clothing – the material actively cools through evaporation.

60% more protection reserve than UPF 50+
UPF 50+ is the industry standard. hyphen surpasses it – under any condition.
Since 2001: UV protection for the youngest ones
When hyphen was founded in 2001, UV protection clothing for babies was practically non-existent in Germany. The UV sunsuit was one of our very first products – because it delivers exactly what parents need: maximum protection with minimal effort.
The UV sunsuit was the idea that started it all: a single garment designed to protect babies all around. No compromises, no gaps. For 25 years, this idea has been at the very core of hyphen.
