UV resistant and sunscreen fabric

With the arrival of summer, UV protection has become a daily necessity. Many people wonder if UPF50+has the highest UV protection performance. The answer is yes. UPF (UV protection factor) is the core indicator for measuring the sun protection ability of fabrics. UPF50+means that fabrics can block more than 98% of UVA and UVB rays, allowing less than 2% of UV rays to penetrate. It is currently recognized as the highest sun protection level, which can effectively prevent skin from being sunburned, tanned, and even reduce the long-term damage of UV rays to the skin.

Polyester fiber (polyester)
It is the mainstream choice for sunscreen fabrics

Excellent sun protection performance and high cost-effectiveness. Its molecular structure is tight and can effectively block ultraviolet rays from penetrating. Most outdoor sun protection clothes use polyester fiber fabric, and some are also treated with special sun protection coatings to further enhance the sun protection effect

Nylon's sun protection is second only to polyester fiber

Lightweight, soft, comfortable, and breathable compared to polyester fibers

Lightweight sunscreen clothing and hat

It has good stretchability and no binding feeling when worn

Suitable for daily commuting

Professional sunscreen fabrics such as coolmax, Texas, etc

It can solve the problem of stuffiness in ordinary sunscreen clothes, suitable for long-term outdoor activities, hiking, mountaineering and other scenes, and is an optional fabric for high-end sunscreen clothing
Natural fabrics such as cotton and linen have poor sun protection, and untreated cotton and linen fabrics usually have a UPF of less than 5, making it difficult to achieve effective sun protection
The thicker and denser the fabric, the better its sun protection performance. For the same fabric, dark colors have better sun protection effects than light colors
When choosing sunscreen clothing, it is important to prioritize the UPF50+logo and combine it with the fabric material and usage scenario to better protect against UV rays
