If you are a Floridian, an avid beach goer, or a
person who enjoys the great outdoors, you have likely
complained about having to lather on sunscreen all
the time. Let’s be honest, with the recommendation
to reapply every two hours … who can keep up? UPF Sumre Perkins, Sandra Moss, Kim Gessner Renee Feder, Kathy Adkins, Amy Kazma
clothing can be a great addition to your arsenal while
combating sun exposure. And while it’s recommended
to use UPF clothing in addition to sunblock, wearing
it will certainly help reduce the amount of times you
have to reapply!
What Is UPF?
UPF stands for ultraviolet protection factor.
While all clothing provides some protection from
the sun’s harmful rays, UPF clothing is made from a
special fabric with a tighter weave, which helps block
ultraviolet (UV) rays from penetrating through micro
holes in the fabric. UPF clothing has a rating that
indicates how much UV radiation the fabric blocks.
UPF ratings typically range anywhere from 15 to 50
UPF. But what do those numbers actually mean? Well, Rebecca D’Emic, Karolina Kanner, Laetitia Laurent, Joanne Sheila Glanfield, Carine Terry, Susan Brockway, Nadia
if your new sun shirt comes with a 50 UPF rating that Mancari Bohlman
means your shirt will only allow 1/50 or 2 percent of
UV rays to get through. Sounds pretty good, right?
Purchasing UPF Clothing
The biggest downside to UPF clothing is the
expense. The fabrics are expensive and that makes
the cost to you, the consumer, expensive too. There
are a lot of companies that claim that their clothing
protects you from the sun, but it’s important to note
that the Skin Cancer Foundation only awards its stamp
of approval to clothing with a UPF rating of 30 or
higher. Think of buying UPF clothing as an investment
in your health. After all, wearing UPF clothing now
will certainly help keep you out of the dermatology
office for skin cancer treatment in the future!
Remember UPF clothing alone isn’t enough to protect Cherie Arscott, Wendy Sadusky Jeannine Morris, Karen Adler Valerie Shields, Becky Scott
you from the sun’s harmful rays. So when packing your
