Health Note: UPF Sun Protective Clothing and UPF Sun Protective Swimwear is specifically designed to block the
sun’s harmful UV radiation from damaging the skin (widely known as UVA/UVB/UVC
rays). Exposure to such UV radiation can
not only cause sunburn, but also long lasting damage resulting in premature
skin aging and/or skin cancer. To help the consumer better determine the
protection a garment has, a UPF rating system has been developed.
