What Clothing Is Best for Sun Protection?
It’s summer in the UK, and whether you’re out for a stroll through Hyde Park or just taking a coastal hike, we can all agree that the sun’s rays are unforgiving. While we’re known for our winter warmth at Bosideng, did you know we’re equally passionate about keeping you safe in the sun? Keep reading to find out more.
What Makes Sun-Protective Clothing Different?
It’s not a matter of throwing on any old T-shirt. The real champions are fabrics that boast a high Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF). Think of UPF as SPF for your clothes. The higher the number, the more of those pesky UV rays get blocked. And these days, with all we know about skincare and protection, that should be your main goal.
Now, we wouldn’t be Bosideng if we didn’t go above and beyond. Our sun-protective range doesn’t just stop at UPF. We combine high-tech fabrics with sleek designs to ensure you’re both shielded and stylish. Take our UPF Protection Jacket with Drawstring — it’s the perfect blend of fashion and function, whether you’re running errands or exploring the countryside.
Of course, style is one thing. What should you look for in sun-safe clothes? Here’s what you need to know:
- Dense Weave: Think tightly woven fabrics that leave little room for sunlight to sneak through.
- Darker or Brighter Colours: These shades are like little UV vacuum cleaners, absorbing those rays before they reach your skin.
- Synthetic Fabrics: While natural fibers have their charm, synthetics like polyester and nylon often offer superior UV protection.
When you shop Bosideng, you can be sure that our lineup undergoes rigorous testing to ensure optimal performance and protection. Our Women’s UPF Protection Full Length Jackets and Men’s UPF Protection Jackets, for instance, tick all these boxes and more. We’ve also thrown in features like breathability and moisture-wicking to keep you comfortable on those sweltering days.
Remember, a bit of sun is lovely, but too much can be a real downer. So, layer up with Bosideng’s sun-protective clothing and enjoy the summer sunshine safely.
