I just assumed UPF clothing was protective due to the weave - had no idea some had chemicals involved.<br /> I can vouch for Gryffin’s adventurer hat, though it is the dorkiest-looking item I’ve ever worn. Especially when paired with sun-protective gloves! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-clothing-sources#post-2206927 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 13:05:07 +0000 ophelia 2206927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FashIntern, the meteorologists give both the UV rating &amp; the burn time on the nightly local news. It may be on their website too; I’ve never checked. I don’t recall him giving a conversion formula.<br /> I’m on the east coast. I’d assume the west coast would be similar though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-clothing-sources#post-2206920 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 12:55:58 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2206920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also appreciate the laundry additives, and sent those links to my mom—my dad has had many melanomas removed, and she does the laundry. </p> <p>Ophelia, that short a burn time sounds shocking. Where are you, and where does one look up burn times? Is there a scale that converts the UV ratings, 1-11, into times? <a href="https://www.dwd.de/DE/leistungen/gefahrenindizesuvi/gefahrenindexuvi.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.dwd.de/DE/leistung.....exuvi.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-clothing-sources#post-2206915 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 12:45:39 +0000 ophelia 2206915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kkards you are a *queen.* I had never heard of laundry additives. Just ordered some.<br /> The “burn time” here is about 8 minutes, &amp; it’s a 7 minute walk minimum from the parking lot to my office, twice a day. I haven’t been able to bring myself to use an umbrella for sun protection. Yet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-clothing-sources#post-2206893 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 11:06:43 +0000 kkards 2206893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can also buy laundry detergent/add ins.<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15099187/">https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15099187/</a><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="https://store.sunguarduv.com">https://store.sunguarduv.com</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-clothing-sources#post-2206890 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 10:39:53 +0000 Mainelady 2206890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lands End, LL Bean and Baleaf all offer SPF clothing.

Agree w sloper. I am a dermatologist and I only recommend SPF clothing where the protection is due to the weave of the cloth. Solumbra has that and my jacket is 15 yo and still looks new. I would not spend a lot of swim rash guards. The fibers get destroyed my chlorine. You’ll get a couple of seasons out of them defending on wear and if you forget and throw them in the dryer. Coolibar has an adorable Mylar sun umbrella. Excellent for emergencies.<br /> <a href="https://www.sunprecautions.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkbPGsf7C8QIVhQiICR3rAgeeEAAYASAAEgIOvfD_BwE" rel="nofollow">https://www.sunprecautions.com.....gIOvfD_BwE</a><br /> Sunday afternoons for hats especially.

Columbia has for quite some time since sun protection is a prime function for their fishing lines of clothing.<br /> REI or your local adventure outfitter likely should have a good cross section of items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-clothing-sources#post-2206672 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 18:19:02 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2206672@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Some of the replies here might be helpful for you. <a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/non-dorky-upf-clothing" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....f-clothing</a> My comment on it includes this list <a href="https://www.skincancer.org/recommended-products/" rel="nofollow">https://www.skincancer.org/recommended-products/</a> as well as Australian surf outfitters. A couple people mentioned Coolibar. </p> <p>If you can’t find a purpose-made coverup, you might want to try a LS button-front shirt, in larger than your usual size, as a simple cardi/jacket. Lots of outdoor outfitters and golf shops carry them in sun-protective fabrics. </p> <p>This is an area that’s only likely to grow, given our new reality. I hope Angie adds it to her regular cycle of round-ups. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/sunscreen-clothing-sources#post-2206668 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 18:08:37 +0000 KikiG 2206668@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd like a bathing suit coverup that is pretty serious, made of SPF fabric. The brands I'm aware of in this area are Coolibar, and Cabanalife. &nbsp;My husband has some Coolibar items, but I haven't ever bought from there for me. &nbsp;Any other brands I should look at?&nbsp; </p>
