The Power of UPF 50+ Fabrics: Luxe Sun Clothing’s Approach to Sun Protection
When it comes to sun protection, Luxe Sun Clothing is dedicated to offering high-quality, stylish, and protective clothing. Our fabrics, including nylon, polyester, rayon, and spandex blends, are all designed with sun-conscious wearers in mind. But what really sets Luxe Sun Clothing apart is our commitment to using UPF 50+ fabrics, ensuring that our customers can enjoy the outdoors with confidence.
What is UPF 50+ and How Does It Protect?
UPF, or Ultraviolet Protection Factor, is the rating system used to measure how well a fabric protects against UV radiation. UPF 50+ is the highest rating, blocking approximately 98% of UV rays, providing maximum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. This rating means that only 1/50th of the sun’s UV radiation can pass through the fabric, significantly reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage. Unlike sunscreen, which can wear off, UPF 50+ fabrics provide continuous protection throughout the day.
Luxe Sun Clothing’s Fabric Choices
We carefully select fabrics not only for their comfort and style but also for their protective qualities. Here’s a breakdown of some of the materials we use:
Nylon: A durable and lightweight fabric, nylon is naturally UV-resistant, making it a great choice for sun-protective clothing. It also dries quickly, which is perfect for hot days.
Polyester: Known for its durability and color retention, polyester is an ideal choice for sun protection. It’s often blended with other fibers to enhance comfort and stretch.
Rayon: Soft and comfortable, rayon can be treated to increase its UV protection. We blend it with other fibers to enhance its natural qualities while providing reliable protection.
Spandex: Added for its stretch and flexibility, spandex enhances the fit and comfort of our sun-protective clothing, allowing for a flattering shape and free movement.
The Innovation of Sorona® Fabrics
Our t-shirts include a blend with Sorona®, an innovative, eco-friendly polymer derived from plant-based materials. Sorona® offers excellent shape retention, softness, and a luxurious feel, combining the best features of nylon and polyester with added sustainability.
