Sun-Blocking Wraps, Two Cooling Systems: FROST vs ECO-FRESH

Both block the sun. The difference is how they cool you.

Every FIT EVER wrap does one job the same way: it shields your neck and shoulders from UV. FROST and ECO-FRESH are both UPF-rated, Japanese-made sun-protection wraps you can wear every day. Where they differ is the cooling system — FROST is cool to the touch and worn dry, while ECO-FRESH is wet-activated evaporative cooling. Choose based on where and how you will use it.

The shared foundation: UV protection, made in Japan

Whichever you pick, you get the same core:

  • UV protection built into the fabric. FROST is UPF 20 and blocks 95% of UV rays. ECO-FRESH is UPF50+ in every colour and blocks 99% of UV rays.
  • Made in Japan, cut and finished by skilled artisans.
  • A generous 170 × 70 cm cut with a soft drape, so it works as a styling piece, not just a sun accessory.
  • Designed for your shoulders, your neck, or clipped to a hat — carry your own shade wherever the sun follows you.

The difference: two cooling systems

  • Choose FROST if you want sun protection that also feels cool the moment it touches your skin, straight out of your bag — for commuting, the office, over-cold air conditioning on trains and planes, and everyday wear. No water, no preparation.
  • Choose ECO-FRESH if you will be outside in strong sun for hours and can wet it — for the beach, resorts, travel, hiking, cycling and outdoor events. Wet it, wring it out, snap it in the air, and the evaporative cooling keeps working as you move.

Many customers own both: FROST for daily life and cold AC, ECO-FRESH for trips and long days outdoors.

Sun protection

FROST is UPF 20 and blocks 95% of UV rays, so it covers your neck and shoulders while you are out.

How it cools

FROST feels cool the instant it meets your skin. There is no water and no preparation — you wear it dry. The cool-to-the-touch sensation is noticeably stronger than an ordinary scarf when you first put it on, which makes it easy to reach for on a hot morning or in a cold, over-air-conditioned room.

Feel and styling

The fabric is soft and smooth with a silk-like hand and a beautiful drape, so FROST works as a styling piece as much as a sun-protection and cooling item. Wear it over the shoulders, loop it at the neck, or clip it to the brim of a hat.

Best for

Commuting, the office, over-cold air conditioning on trains and planes, cafes, and everyday sun protection.

Care

Machine washable — place it in a laundry net and use a gentle or delicate cycle. Air dry in the shade. No bleach, no dry cleaning, no tumble dryer.

Sun protection

Every ECO-FRESH colour is UPF50+ and blocks 99% of UV rays, so you keep full sun cover even at the beach or on the water.

How it cools

ECO-FRESH cools by evaporation, so it needs to be activated with water. Wet it, wring out the excess, and snap it a few times in the air. Once it is on, the cooling continues as you move and the air passes over it. Re-wet it whenever the cool starts to fade. Because it relies on evaporation, ECO-FRESH performs best in drier air and feels less intense in very humid conditions — on those days, FROST is often the better choice.

Feel

ECO-FRESH has a light, dry-touch texture and stays surprisingly light even when wet — none of the heavy, clingy feel of a wet towel. An odour-control finish keeps it fresh through a long day outside, and the fabric is made with recycled polyester yarn.

Best for

The beach, resorts, travel days, hiking, cycling, outdoor festivals and events, and heat relief when you are out with a stroller.

Care

Machine washable — place it in a laundry net and use a gentle or delicate cycle. Air dry in the shade. No bleach, no dry cleaning, no tumble dryer.

Frequently asked questions

Do both wraps protect against UV?

Yes. Both are UPF-rated sun-protection wraps. FROST is UPF 20 (blocks 95% of UV rays); ECO-FRESH is UPF50+ in every colour (blocks 99%). The cooling system is what differs between them.

Do I need to wet the FROST wrap?

No. FROST is worn dry and feels cool on contact. Only ECO-FRESH is wet-activated.

How do I activate ECO-FRESH?

Wet it with water, wring out the excess, and snap it a few times in the air. Re-wet it when the cooling fades.

Can I put them in the washing machine?

Yes. Place the wrap in a laundry net and use a gentle or delicate cycle. Air dry in the shade — no tumble dryer.

Which one is better for very hot, humid weather?

FROST. Evaporative cooling weakens in high humidity, so on hot, sticky days the contact-cool FROST tends to feel better. ECO-FRESH is at its best in drier heat and strong sun.
