SUN PROTECTION / WHAT DOES UPF50+ MEAN ?
The UPF indicates the degree of protection against the sun (Ultra Violet Protection Factor). It is a standard recognised worldwide.
It indicates the level of protection offered by the fabric, specifically the amount of UV absorbed.
To meet the standard, the fabric must prevent at least 95% of UV rays from being absorbed. UPF 50+ means that the fabric prevents the absorption of at least 95% of UVA and 98% of UVB.
