1. Sunscreen performance
UPF value: Choosing Sunscreen clothing with UPF40+or 50+ can filter over 97% of ultraviolet rays, which is the core indicator of sunscreen clothing.
UVA protection: High quality sunscreen jacket should have a UVA value of less than 5% to avoid UV rays penetrating and causing skin aging.
Material selection: We should prioritize the synthetic fibers such as polyester and nylon , which have strong natural sun protection (UPF20-40); Natural fabrics such as cotton and linen have weak sun protection (UPF only 5-7).
2. Comfort and Design
Breathability: It is recommended to weigh 80-120g per piece and choose fabrics with micro porous or mesh design (such as underarm and back ventilation holes) to avoid heavy coating.
Pattern: The loose fit is more practical, and the hooded version requires a neck protection design. The cuffs are equipped with thumb buttons and the hem is drawstring for enhanced protection.
Additional features: Ice feeling fabric can cool down by 1-3 ℃; Moisture absorption and quick drying technology, suitable for high temperature environments.
3. Durability and anti attenuation
Anti washing ability: Poor quality products experience a sudden drop in sun protection after 100 washes, while high-quality products can withstand 1500 washes and still maintain UPF50+.
4. Scene based selection
Daily commuting: Light colors (beige, light blue etc) reflect ultraviolet rays, with a simple and slim fit, and a storage bag design for easy carrying.
Outdoor sports: Choose a professional brand, UPF50+standard, waterproof coating, tight design to prevent mosquitoes and insects.
Strong UV environment (plateau/seaside): Full package design (extended neck cap pocket, high neck zipper), dark fabric may contain more sunscreen.
5.Washing and maintenance
Reduce the number of washes, gently hand wash with cold water, avoid rubbing and high temperatures, avoid direct sunlight when drying to maintain the sunscreen coating or fiber structure.
Avoid machine washing, drying, and ironing as they can accelerate the decline of sun protection performance.
