UPF Rated Fabrics
UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. UPF measures how much of the sun’s broad spectrum ultraviolet radiation is blocked by a fabric before it can reach your skin. UPF50+ is the highest possible rating on the UPF scale and means that at least 98% of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays are not able to reach your skin, with the fabric acting as a barrier. UPF and SPF are conceptually the same; they both protect you and your skin from the sun’s harmful rays – just in different forms (fabrics vs topical sunscreen products).
Not all clothing provides adequate sun protection and people are routinely exposed to the sun’s harmful rays through their regular clothing. The average white cotton T-shirt only provides a UPF rating of 5-7 when dry and about UPF 3 when wet. The higher the UPF rating, the greater the sun protection.
Claudent utilizes the most premium UPF50+ rated fabrics for their garments.
