Understanding UV Ratings

UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) and SPF (Sun Protection Factor) are both standards used to measure the effects of the sun on your skin. However, they employ different approaches.

SPF ratings are indications of the level of skin reddening; they are used primarily to measure the protective qualities of sunscreen.

UPF ratings measure the amount of UV radiation that a fabric blocks. For example, a garment with a rating of UPF 50 means that the garment blocks 98% of UV radiation.

UPF ratings above 50 are considered to be in the "Excellent" Protection Category. All of Scubapro's UPF collections are rated UPF 50, except for the top-of-the-line T-Flex, which is rated UPF 80, the highest protection rating available in the industry.
