Are you finding that the sun shines in your eyes more often while driving during the colder months? Well, you're not imagining things because the sun's path through the sky changes at different times of the year. In the colder months, the sun stays lower in the sky and shines right in your face more often than the summer sun, which follows a higher arc. But no matter the season, remember to grab your sunnies and your Joopy Sun Shade before hopping into the driver's seat!

Joopy Sun Shade's translucent finish provides excellent UV protection but doesn't become too dark when the sun goes behind a cloud, so you can leave it in place all the time and stay comfortable when the sun comes out.

We've improved the new Joopy Sun Shade to make it even easier to use! The SET & FORGET locking clip helps keep it in the correct position for your car door - just set it once to suit your door type. Have a happy & safe Easter break!

Most drivers feel well-protected from the sun, but many do not realise that although a car's clear side windows block most of the UV-B radiation which causes sunburns, they only filter out about 37% of UV-A radiation which penetrates more deeply into the skin, causing premature ageing and wrinkling, and can lead to skin cancer. Window tinting is a popular option to increase the level of protection but this practice isn't encouraged by the RACV. Their article on tinting raises questions on it's effect on UV radiation, heat and glare, and highlights safety issues when driving with the darkened glass....

The staff at Joopy would like to wish everyone a Merry X'mas and best wishes for 2015. Please drive safe over the holiday season!
