Common Q&A's:
-
What is UPF 50+ protection and how does it differ from SPF?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) measures fabric's ability to block UV radiation, with 50+ indicating less than 2% of UV rays penetrate the material. Unlike SPF which measures sunscreen protection against UVB only, UPF protects against both UVA and UVB rays without requiring reapplication. -
Can this shirt be worn for activities other than surfing?
Yes, this UV protective shirt is suitable for swimming, paddleboarding, snorkeling, beach play, and any outdoor activity where sun exposure is a concern. The quick-dry properties make it ideal for transitional use between water and land. -
How should this shirt be cared for to maintain UV protection?
Rinse with fresh water after saltwater or chlorine exposure, machine wash cold with mild detergent, and hang dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the UV-blocking fibers.
