Welcome to Tusk & Roo - where high-quality, sun-protective textiles made from natural fibres help families like ours embrace the outdoors with confidence. We’re a young family of five living in one of the most breathtaking corners of the world - the Atherton Tablelands in Far North Tropical Queensland. Our days are filled with hiking, swimming, fishing, camping, and chasing sun-drenched fields. We are at our happiest enjoying the great outdoors. But when our twins arrived in 2022, joining their two-year-old sibling, our outdoor lifestyle hit a snag.

Three kids under 3. Endless sunscreen battles. Tears, tantrums, and the stress of staying SunSmart. Suddenly, the great outdoors didn’t feel so great.

We searched high and low for sun-protective clothing that was gentle on skin, made from natural materials, and designed for real family life. But everything we found was polyester-based, uncomfortable, or simply impractical. So, we began an adventure - two years of research, testing, and refining to create a product that’s not only sun safe (ARPANSA approved), but also durable, beautifully crafted, and genuinely loved by our kids. We’ve even had tantrums when their tops were in the wash. They’re that comfortable. And honestly, once you try them, you might not want to take them off either.

We hope you love our tops as much as we do and that they give you and your family the confidence to enjoy the great outdoors to the fullest.

From our family to yours, happy sun smart filled days
