Does UPF Clothing Work?

7
Oct

You’ve probably heard about UPF sun protective clothing. But before you invest in some, you must know: does it even work? The answer is YES!

BloqUV sun-protective apparel offers UPF, chemical-free protection inherent to its fabrics. By blocking 98% of the sun’s harmful rays, the brand has risen as a leader in the sun protection industry.

Most only think to protect their skin health when they’re headed to the beach or pool. However, the sun is beaming down all the time. Therefore, staying protected all day- is a must. Luckily, there’s a way to combine golf attire and sun protection.

To understand the efficacy of sun protective clothing, you must also understand the importance of UPF. UPF stands for ultraviolet protection factor. The higher the clothing’s UPF rating, the more it protects your skin from the sun damaging UV rays.

Standard pieces of clothing possess UPF ratings of around 5. This is particularly true of cotton shirts and the like.

UV clothing, on the other hand, comes with UPF ratings ranging from 30 and beyond. Whereas UPF ratings between 30 and 50 are considered to very good, ratings that exceed 50 are exceptional.

By wearing top-notch UV protection clothing, you’re reducing your exposure by 10 times. In other words, 1 hour of sun exposure in a standard piece of clothing is equal to 10 hours of sun exposure in a piece of UV clothing.

It’s not necessary to always wear UV clothing.  But if you’re going to be spending a great deal of time outdoors, such as playing golf, it is highly advised

When You’re Golfing: 

Even if you’re only playing 9 holes, a round of golf lasts, at the very least, an hour and a half. On a hot, sunny day, an hour and a half of sun exposure can leave your skin crispy and red. And the skin under your clothing isn’t necessarily an exception.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fortunately, there are all kinds of golf-oriented UV clothing available, from short-sleeve polo shirts to long-sleeve polo shirts more. If you’re an avid golfer in a particularly sunny part of the world, you’re advised to add some UPF clothing to your wardrobe.

BloqUV offers a variety of UPF clothes and accessories for every occasion. Plus, there are styles available for the entire family including kids and toddlers. Thankfully, you no longer have to worry about constantly putting on sunblock or dealing with the risk of developing skin cancers when you’re wearing our BloqUV protective gear.
