SunDay Afternoons® Sun Protective Fabric Technologies

What is UPF?

UPF means 'Ultraviolet Protection Factor', the accepted world standard for rating UV resistance in textiles. Our testing is done by the Textile Research & Testing Laboratory at California Polytechnic State University. All results were a unanimous 'Excellent' rating of 40-50 UPF, the highest possible. A garment with a UPF rating of 50, allows 1/50th of the UV rays to pass through. Sun protective properties in our fabrics last the life of the garment.
