A number of factors affect the level of ultraviolet protection provided by any fabric:
The warmer and sunnier it gets, the more we tend to wear light colored garments, which actually let through a surprising amount of UV rays. The difference in certified UPF clothing is the use of titanium dioxide (a sun blocker also found in sunscreen) or an UV-Absorber. Certified UV-Protective clothing is a smart preven-tative to skin cancer and helps slow down the aging of the skin.
