Sun protection and new interior finish
UPF 50+ component: blocks at least 98% of UVB rays and 95% of UVA.
We have changed the interior finish, or coating. It is now white for optimal protection on all colours. This new coating also makes it possible to use less energy during the production phase.
Behaviour when in the sun.
Although this sun shade provides protection from the sun, phenomena such as reflections (from the water, sand, etc.), heat, time of day, etc., must be taken into account. The use of this shelter does not exempt the user from following the relevant advice: wear a UV protection T-shirt, wear sunglasses, wear a hat or cap, regularly apply an appropriate sun cream, drink regularly, etc.
Sustainable development information
Dyeing textiles requires a lot of water and discharges wastewater from dye baths. To reduce this environmental impact, we opt for the dope-dyed technique, whereby the colour pigments are integrated into the yarn.

Opens and closes in a single step.
Instant opening and closing system. The shelter opens by pulling the ring at the back and closes in one movement, by pushing the closure button.
Resistance to the wind.
The IWIKO beach shelter can be secured to the ground in two ways:
1) Pegs allow it to be fixed into the sand or into ground
2) Sand pockets provide good hold without the use of pegs. It also comes with stays.
In winds above 30 km / h winds, do not use this shelter, as it could fly away.
Drying towels / UV tops / diving suits.
The string that is used to open the shelter can be maintained in a horizontal position with a rip-tab strip. This can be used to attach your belongings to dry them.
