SunShield

UPF 50+ certified hydrophilic stretch fabric, made with recycled polyester yarn.

The UPF 50+ value indicates how many times it is possible to multiply the period of protection naturally offered by the skin to solar radiation before an erythema appears, i.e. an abnormal redness of the skin (sunburn) caused by congestion of the capillaries (as in a inflammation). This value is determined on our fabric as it is.

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PHOTOTYPE UNPROTECTED SKIN REACTION TO SUN EXPOSURE TIME OF NATURAL SKIN PROTECTION WITHOUT FILTERS
Milky complexion, ivory; red hair, freckles, blue or light eyes always burns, never tans 5 to 10 minutes
Light complexion; red or blond hair, freckles, light or hazel eyes burns easily, tans little or with difficulty 10 to 20 minutes
Moderately light complexion; brown hair, light or brown eyes you burn without adequate protection, you tan gradually 20 to 30 minutes

See the table: there are mainly three phototypes that have low natural protection (of 5-10, 10-20, 20-30 minutes) and are therefore at a very high risk of sunburn.
By multiplying the minutes of your membership band for 50 you will have the protection time guaranteed by this fabric.
