Barras for Brain Cancer UV Defender Shirt - Kids

Sun-safe style for bigger kids, with a purpose.

Meet the limited-edition Barras for Brain Cancer UV Defender Shirt for Kids, featuring a classic block navy design with a special barramundi graphic incorporating the brain cancer ribbon on the back.

Designed for older kids who have outgrown the Little Fisho Kids Set but still want comfortable coverage for summer adventures, the UV Defender Shirt brings the same unique, lightweight, breathable and quick-drying fabric as our original UV Defender Onesie into an easy-to-wear shirt designed for bigger kids.

With long sleeves, a protective collar and optional thumb coverage, it's made for kids who want the freedom of a shirt while parents still want plenty of coverage for sunny days.

Available in sizes 10 to 16.

100% of net profits from the Barras for Brain Cancer collection will be donated to the Mark Hughes Foundation.

Created in memory of Gregory Fetterplace, this limited-edition collection brings together family, the outdoors and a cause that means so much to us.

Every purchase helps us support the Mark Hughes Foundation in the fight against brain cancer, while keeping Greg's memory at the heart of something positive.

Launching 1 December 2026, the first day of summer.

The Barras for Brain Cancer UV Defender Shirt won't be available until 1 December, but you can join the waitlist now to be notified as soon as it lands. Join the Little Fisho Crew for exclusive early access before the collection is released to everyone else.

Made from lightweight, breathable and quick-drying fabric, the UV Defender Shirt is designed to keep kids comfortable through warm summer days. Wear it over swimwear at the beach, for swimming and water play, on holidays or for everyday outdoor adventures.

Kids' sun-safe shirts made for real life

The UV Defender Shirt is designed for older kids who don't sit still for long.

Wear it over swimwear for a day at the beach, throw it on for outdoor play, take it on holidays or wear it for everyday summer adventures. The lightweight, quick-drying fabric makes it easy to go from the water to whatever comes next without needing a complete outfit change.

It's sun-safe clothing designed to keep up with bigger kids as they grow, explore and become more independent.

From big kid adventures to even bigger ones

As kids grow, their adventures grow with them.

The Barras for Brain Cancer UV Defender Shirt gives older kids the freedom of a simple shirt while keeping the lightweight, breathable design that makes the Little Fisho UV Defender range so versatile.

It's made for swimming, beach days, holidays, boating, outdoor play and all the adventures in between.

A subtle design with a meaningful story

The Barras for Brain Cancer adult and older-kid styles were designed to complement the bolder checkered print used across the baby and younger kids' styles.

The Kids Shirt features a classic block navy base with the signature barramundi and brain cancer ribbon graphic on the back. This means older kids can coordinate with their younger siblings and parents without everyone needing to wear exactly the same print.

The barramundi is an iconic Australian fish and a natural fit for Little Fisho, while the ribbon represents the reason behind this collection.

It's a design created in memory of Greg and to help raise funds for the Mark Hughes Foundation.

A limited first edition

Barras for Brain Cancer is a trial campaign, with very limited stock available for this first release.

Once this first release is gone, it's gone.

If the campaign is successful, our hope is to make Barras for Brain Cancer an annual fundraising campaign for the Mark Hughes Foundation - the summer version of Beanies for Brain Cancer.

Every purchase helps us test the idea, raise funds and build the foundations for what we hope can become an annual Little Fisho tradition in support of the Mark Hughes Foundation.

Matching sun-safe style for the whole family

The Barras for Brain Cancer UV Defender Shirt for Kids is part of a limited-edition matching family collection designed to bring everyone along for the adventure.

The collection includes:

• UV Defender Onesie for babies and toddlers, featuring the navy and cream checkered barra print
• UV Defender Kids Set for toddlers and young kids, featuring the matching checkered print
• UV Defender Shirt for older kids and adults, featuring the block navy design and back graphic
• UV Defender Dress for women, featuring the block navy design and back graphic

The different designs are made to coordinate rather than match exactly, giving the whole family a subtle connection to the Barras for Brain Cancer campaign.

From the beach to the playground, a morning swim to an afternoon of outdoor play, the UV Defender range is designed to go wherever the day takes you.

100% of net profits donated

100% of net profits from the Barras for Brain Cancer collection will be donated to the Mark Hughes Foundation.

Donations will be made in memory and honour of Gregory Fetterplace through his In Memoriam page.

We're proud to use Little Fisho to help raise funds and awareness for the fight against brain cancer, while creating something our family can carry forward in Greg's memory.

Sun Safe Fun From Day One.
