Sun Protection Isn’t Just for Summer
When summer fades, most people stop thinking about sunscreen and sun protection. But UV exposure doesn’t disappear with the warmer weather, it’s present all year long. Even as the air cools and the leaves change color, the sun’s rays can still cause damage.
That’s why UPF clothing is a year-round essential. Unlike sunscreen that needs constant reapplication, UPF clothing provides consistent, built-in protection from harmful UV rays. It’s an effortless way to safeguard your skin in every season without sacrificing style.
What is UPF Clothing and Why is it Important
Now, you might be wondering—what is UPF clothing and how does it differ from regular clothing? UPF clothing is made with a special UPF fabric that is specifically designed to block harmful UV rays. UPF stands for “Ultraviolet Protection Factor” and “indicates how much UV radiation (both UVB and UVA) a fabric allows to reach your skin. This is an added layer of protection that most regular fabrics do not offer.
Watskin’s UPF clothing has a UPF50+ rating which means it blocks 98% of harmful UV rays making it a leader in the sun protective clothing market.
Why UPF Clothing Matters in the Fall
Even as temperatures cool, UV rays remain strong especially during outdoor activities such as pickleball, hiking, and walking around the farmer’s market. Thankfully UPF clothing is designed to be versatile and transition with the seasons.
Watskin has many transitional styles of UPF clothing that feature long sleeves, lightweight layers, and chic designs that will fit seamlessly into your fall wardrobe. A few of our fall favorites are the Mia 1/2 Zip Pullover and the Lois Catsuit.
