Boat clothes for women with sun-protective fabric
Thanks to technical innovation and independent third party testing, our fabrics for women's sailing clothes have UPF50+. Fabrics can be made from a variety of weaves (tighter is better), colors, weights and sunscreens. Our sun protection is strong, even after repeated washes and exposures of chlorine, salt, and sweat.
The difference between SPF and UPF
Brands that claim to offer SPF protection for their womens boat clothing do not have the right information. SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor. It is a measure of how long it takes for sun-exposed skin from UVB ("burning") radiation to turn red. UPF is a broad-spectrum UVA/UVB measurement for fabric. It rates the amount of UV radiation that penetrates fabric and reaches skin. UPF 50 garments allow only 1/5th of the UV radiation to pass through them. It blocks 49/50ths (or 98%) of the UV radiation. SPF does not provide full spectrum protection. See the stylish and comfortable options for women's boating attire.
