Have you heard about the latest trend in sun protection – SPF clothing? SPF clothing is great news for anyone who enjoys spending time in the sun because now you can rest easy knowing the clothed areas of your body are well protected.
However, not all SPF clothing is created equally. Just browse the Internet or look in retail stores and you will see everything from clothing offering minimal protection like an SPF of 10 to clothing offering premium protection with and SPF of 50+.
How Does SPF Clothing Protect Me?
SPF clothing uses specially treated fabrics to protect your skin from the sun. You will find that the clothing is generally rated according to their Ultraviolet Protection Factor, otherwise known as UPF. The higher the UPF the more you are protected from both the damaging effects of UVA and UVB.
Cabana Life is proud to offer a full range of sun protection clothing for girls, boys, women and men. This “beach club chic” line up of clothing is created by a skin cancer survivor who is motivated to help people protect themselves from the sun’s damaging rays. Cabana Life combines fashion with function by offering stylish clothing with 50+ UV protection through their patented High IQ Sun Protection.
When you see a piece of clothing rated with a UPF of 50, that means that only 1/50 or .02% of the UV radiation reaching the garment will actually make it through to your skin.
Many factors affect the level of sun protection provided by various fabrics. These factors include weave, color, weight, stretch and wetness. With SPF clothing, UV absorbers are added at various times during the manufacturing process to enhance the UV protection levels.
Cabana Life, a leading provider of SPF clothing uses the patented High IQ Sun Protection in all their clothing. This method is considered the number one UV protective treatment available and will last throughout the lifetime of your garment.
How Do I Care For My SPF Clothing
Some SPF clothing requires very specific washing instructions; however, that is not the case with Cabana Life Clothing.
