The UPF 50+ rating is equivalent to wearing a permanent layer of broad-spectrum SPF 50+ suncream, except you don't have the trouble of re-applying. So you can relax next time you are in the sun, knowing that you are protected.

UPF 50+ is the highest rating for sun protection clothing. It means that the fabric blocks 98% of UV rays.
