UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and is an indicator of UV absorption from the sun. A fabric with a rating of 50 will only transmit 1/50th of the sun's UV radiation. This means that the fabric significantly reduces your skin's exposure to UV radiation. All of our UPF finishes last for the life of the garment, which is the industry standard and means 30 washings.
