The more UPF, the better
The UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) indicated on UV-protec-
tive clothing shows how much longer somebody wearing these
clothes can stay in the sun without suffering any damage to
health. Therefore, the UPF-indication on textiles corresponds
to the sun protection factor of sunscreens. This is based on
the self-protection time of the skin, which varies considerably
depending on the individual skin type.
