Does sun protection clothing protect against the sun?

The "sunscreen clothing" on the market is just a concept hype. In fact, professional protective clothing can prevent radiation and ultraviolet rays, but its cost is very expensive, and only special groups such as astronauts need to use protective clothing. In fact, most of the "sunscreen clothing" hyped on the market only play the sunscreen role of our general long-sleeved clothes. Don't be greedy when buying, so don't blindly follow the trend and buy.

There are three tips for choosing sun protection clothing:

The first tip: Check whether the clothes are clearly marked as sunscreen, such as UPF40+ UPF30+, and have a certificate of conformity and instructions on UV shielding, such as being able to effectively absorb UVA and UVB.

The second tip: Buy through regular channels. As we all know, when a product is hot and sells well, there are many unscrupulous merchants who copy it, and the same is true for sunscreen clothing. So when choosing, you must buy from regular channels. Look carefully at the product label to see if there is a special UV protection mark and sun protection index mark.

The third trick: choose from the color. I have to say here that we usually feel that the darker the color, the more sunburn we will get. The actual situation is just different. The darker the color of the sunscreen clothing, the stronger the sunscreen function. During the experiment, the staff also found a black cotton T-shirt with a thickness very similar to that of a white T-shirt. The experiment found that the long-wave ultraviolet transmittance of a black T-shirt is only 4%. In addition, red is also a good sunscreen color.
