The UV rays of the sun have been proven for decades to be quite harmful to our skin. Some people are more sensitive to the sun than others, but we all need protection from the sun during prolonged periods of exposure or when we may be in a geographical area where the sun’s rays are closer, hence stronger.
In seeking clothing that is rated to block 98% or more of the sun’s UV rays (both UVA and UVB rays), it is essential to understand that specially-woven fabrics are needed to withstand wear and washings and still maintain the non-penetrable rating needed to keep the UPF 50+ rating.
Items labeled “UPF 50+” on this web site exceed the new national Ultraviolet Protection Factor standards in the United States. The items on this web site that are rated at UPF 50+ are rated this way because of the fabric they are made of, not because the fabric the garment has been dipped in a dye or coating that adds UV blocking qualities. Some manufacturers use this process and while we understand that it can be effective and result is a slightly lower cost, we choose garments made of special fabrics such as Supplex that will maintain their UPF 50+ rating much longer.
