To avoid the consequences of the sun it is important to invest in good sunscreen with SPF and clothing with UPF protection. The Skin Cancer Foundation considers clothing to be the most safe and effective defense in the fight against skin cancer and aging. When you wear clothing with UPF you are protected where there is fabric, so there is no need to worry about re-applying sunscreen every two hours. UPF does not wash out of clothing so you are free to swim and wash UPF garments as you wish.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>UV Facts<\/strong><\/em><\/h6>\n<p>Unlike sunscreen with SPF that only protects against UVB rays, UPF clothing is effective in protecting both UVA and UVB rays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UVA (Ultra Violet A)<\/strong> penetrates and damages the skin\u2019s thickest and deepest layer, the dermis, breaking down collagen along the way.\u00a0 UVA penetrates clouds and untreated window glass. It is harmful from sun up to sun down.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UVB (Ultra Violet B)<\/strong> causes your skin to burn, your body\u2019s mostly unsuccessful attempt at blocking UV light from going deeper. UVB penetrates clouds and is harmful from about 10:00am to 4:00pm.<\/p>\n<p>At Sporting Life, we carry a variety of clothing with UPF technology from a variety of brands. UPF fabric is incredibly lightweight and durable even in salt or chlorine water. UPF clothing offers style and functionality for activities like swimming, sports, hiking and more!<\/p>\n<p><strong>For Women<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-7860
