    ☀️ Read about UV Protection in Fabrics - Your Total UPF Rating Guide

    Important Note about UPF Ratings:
    Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) indicates how much UV radiation (both UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin. For example, a UPF 50 fabric blocks 98 % of the sun’s rays and allows 2% (1/50th) to penetrate, thus reducing your exposure risk significantly. A UPF 30 fabric blocks 97% of UV rays and allows roughly 3% of UV transmission. UPF 15 indicates that the fabric blocks roughly 93% of UV rays and allows about 7% of available UV radiation to pass through.

    UPF 10 to 30 = Fair Protection
    UPF 30 to 50 = Good Protection
    UPS 50+ = Excellent Protection
