1. Excellent UV Protection — UPF 50+ Means Serious Coverage
UPF 50+ fabrics block at least 98% of UV rays, offering protection comparable to SPF 50+ sunscreen—even when wet or sweaty—making them especially reliable during long outdoor sessions. Hooded versions cover not just the arms and torso, but also the neck, ears, and head—areas that are often neglected and prone to burns
2. Consistent Protection You Can Trust
Unlike sunscreen—which can wear off from sweat, water, or friction—UPF clothing provides an unbroken shield as long as you're wearing it
3. Lightweight, Breathable Comfort
Modern UPF fabrics (especially polyester blends) wick moisture, dry quickly, and allow airflow, helping keep you cool and dry
4. Durability for the Long Haul
Hooded UPF shirts, particularly those made with thick polyester, maintain their protective power—wash after wash—far better than thinner, untreated fabrics
