What makes Tusk&Roo clothing sun-protective?

Our textiles are rated UPF 50+, providing the highest level of sun protection for peace of mind under the Australian sun. We use a mix of cotton and bamboo that have been carefully woven and crafted to ensure breathability, comfort, and gentleness on sensitive skin.

Every colour in our range has been individually tested in Australia by ARPANSA (the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency) to meet strict UPF standards. Unlike many products on the market, we do not use chemical dipping processes to artificially enhance sun protection—meaning our UPF rating will never wash out or fade over time.

Are your products made from natural fibres?

At Tusk and Roo, we use non-synthetic fibres that are better for you and better for the planet. Our garments are made from a gentle blend of ethically sourced bamboo and cotton, chosen for their softness and breathability.

We’re passionate about sustainability and skin safety, so every fabric is carefully selected to balance comfort, durability, and environmental responsibility. By avoiding synthetic materials, we ensure our clothing remains gentle on sensitive skin and supports a more natural, earth-friendly approach to sun protection.

 

Where are Tusk&Roo products made?

We’re proudly Australian Owned, Designed, and Tested, with every decision guided by a deep respect for quality, community, and craft.

Our garments are made in India, in a neighbouring city to where co-founder Johno grew up. This close connection allows us to maintain a personal relationship with our manufacturing team—we’ve visited the facility ourselves and seen the care and craftsmanship firsthand.

We are committed to creating ethically made products that uphold human rights, support fair working conditions, and reflect our dedication to doing business with integrity. Our partners share our values of dignity, transparency, and responsibility.

Made with heart, and hands we trust

Are your products chemically dipped to achieve sun protection?

Absolutely not. At Tusk and Roo, we’re deeply committed to creating products that are free from harmful chemicals. We never chemically dip our garments to achieve sun protection—our UPF 50+ rating comes from the natural structure of the fibres and quality of the weave, not from additives that could wash out or affect sensitive skin. We use a blend of bamboo and cotton, two naturally gentle materials chosen for their softness, breathability, and skin-safe properties. Every colour in our range is individually tested by ARPANSA to ensure it meets the highest safety standards without compromising on comfort or ethics. Our promise? Protection that’s pure, safe, and sustainable—with nothing unnecessary added. Safe by Nature.

How do I choose the right size?

To choose the right size for your Tusk and Roo garment, here’s a simple guide that balances comfort, protection, and fit—especially important for active days in the sun 🌞:

🧵 General Fit Tips

  • Our garments are designed with a relaxed, easy-wear silhouette to suit outdoor movement and layering.
  • If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for a looser fit.

📏 How to Measure Yourself

Grab a soft measuring tape and wear lightweight clothing:

  • Chest: Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the tape snug but not tight.
  • Waist: Find your natural waistline (usually just above the belly button) and measure around it.
  • Sleeve Length: Start at the shoulder seam and measure down to the wrist.
  • Back Length: From the base of your neck to where you’d like the hem to fall.

👕 Fit Preferences

  • Kids’ Range:
    Children’s sizing generally aligns with age. If your child is between sizes, we recommend sizing up for growing room. For example, if your child is an average-sized 3-year-old, choose size 4. Long sleeves are gently extended to offer extra wrist coverage.
  • Adults’ Range:
     Sleeves are slightly lengthened to shield wrists and forearms, making it ideal for active, sun-filled days.

Please see size guide chart for measurements. 

How do I care for my Tusk and Roo garment?

Our garments are made for everyday adventure. To keep them looking their best and ensure long-lasting sun protection:

  • 💧 Wash gently at 40°C or below
  • 🌬️ Air dry in the shade to preserve the fibres and UPF rating
  • 🧵 Always follow the care instructions on the garment label 

Crafted from natural bamboo and cotton blends, your garment will soften with wear and age beautifully—like your favourite sun-filled memories
