About UPF50+ Sun Protection
A bad sunburn can ruin your outdoor and adventure travel experiences - and has long-term risks. Covering up in UPF clothing is the most effective way to protect your skin from the sun. Choosing the right sun protective clothing provides wearable protection that keeps you looking and feeling great for true fun in the sun. At Safari Store USA, our technical UPF50+ clothing has been developed and tested to provide the highest level of protection for sun safety for safari, fishing trips, and whenever life takes you outdoors.
Ultraviolet Protection Factor is the sun protection rating given to clothing. This is the effectiveness of a garment in exposure to UVA and UVB light. The greater the number rating, the greater the level of protection. A garment with UPF50+ allows less than 2% transmission and this is affected by the color and fiber type, UPF treatments, and the thickness and weave of fabric.
To achieve the best sun safety, UPF clothing should form a major component of your sun protection strategy, but we always recommend taking extra precautions. Make sure you invest in UPF clothing with long sleeves or full-length pants with versatile designs so you can adapt to the day’s conditions. Always use a high SPF sunscreen - and apply and reapply regularly - especially on areas of exposed (or potentially exposed) skin like the arms and hands, face and neck. Accessories like a UPF50+ Head&Neck Scarf and a wide-brimmed hat are also an essential part of any suncare strategy.
