What is UPF?

The UPF factor stands for “Ultraviolet Protection Factor,” and is a standard rating system that measures the effectiveness of the blocking of the sun’s rays in clothing and other types of specifically made UPF or UV gear. The items are designed to screen out both UVA and UVB rays.

Ultraviolet (UV) is invisible solar radiation, it cannot be seen or felt like heat or light from the sun. It is a band of light with a certain frequency that goes beyond the violet end of the spectrum, which can be harmful to the skin and other areas of the body.

The UPF categories under the American rating system include:

• Good UPF = 15-24
• Very Good UPF = 25-39
• Excellent UPF = 40-50+

Sun protection is important, and the UV Index is one of the best indicators as to what the intensity and effect of the sun’s rays are going to be on any given day. It enables individuals that are planning on spending time outdoors to be prepared with adequate UPF protection through the right UV rated clothing items they choose to wear, and with what a Hoo-rag offers, there is no limit to your fun in the sun.
