UV protection even when wet
The fabric of this top blocks at least 98% of UVB and 95% of UVA (UPF 50+). This guarantees effective protection from the sun.
It can be used both in and out of the water, for water or nautical sports.
The density of the textile fibres filters out UV rays, for long-lasting protection, even after washing.
What does UPF 50+ mean
UPF is a sun protection factor (Ultra Violet Protection Factor) and is standardised worldwide. It defines the protection level of a fabric and more precisely the proportion of UV rays it lets through.
To meet the standards, it must block at least 95% of UV rays. UPF 50+ means that the fabric blocks at least 95% of UVA and 98% of UVB rays.
