UPF clothing is the single most effective form of sun protection against the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. It does not rinse off, it cannot be diluted, it does not need reapplied and it can’t be applied incorrectly, with too thin a layer or missed spots, like sunscreen lotions. Sun protective clothing is an actual physical barrier between the sun and skin and blocks not only UVB, but also UVA rays, both of which are responsible for aging the skin.SCALES offers a wide range of sun protective clothing and accessory options for men, women and kids. Performance shirts, athletic shirts and swim suits are available for anglers, water sports enthusiasts, swimmers and surfers and offer sun safety for anyone in or out of the water. We also carry a broad-brimmed hat for those seeking the ultimate in sun protection.
INDEED! Sunscreen should definitely be applied to any skin that is not covered by a sun protective garment — especially the face, lips, ears, hands, feet, etc.).
We recommend hand washing, or machine wash on delicate cycle using cold water, and a mild detergent. Do not wring, or do any other type of action that could cause the garment to stretch. Do not iron or bleach. Do not use fabric softener. Best to hang dry out of direct sunlight.
