Sun Protective Clothing
Information regarding sun protection clothing and sun protective swimwear.
New research from the Morehouse School of Medicine suggests that traditional cotton shirts do not adequately protect against solar UV radiation and skin cancer. In fact, most light colored, cotton shirts provide a UPF (ultraviolet protection factor) of 7.
Dr Rex Amonette, past president of the American Academy of Dermatology, suggests that wearing a white T-shirt isn't good enough.
"A wet, light-colored shirt transmits almost as much light to a child as his or her bare skin."
A great solution for people of all ages... Sun Protective clothing and swimwear is an excellent solution for protecting children and infants from dangerous uv rays.
