Thanks for the thought but burkinis are Australian, so they are made from SPF 50+ fabric.

I'm a New Zealander, so I will also be wearing SPF75+ on my skin and something even higher on my face and ears, as usual.

New Zealand and Australia have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, so this goes with the territory.
