Men's anti-UV t-shirt and lycra

The anti-UV t-shirt, an essential for water activities

During prolonged exposure to the sun, it is important to protect the skin from harmful rays such as ultraviolet (UV). Because beyond sunburn and sunstroke, these rays can have harsh consequences on the health of our young people as well as our own. It is therefore important to protect yourself correctly to avoid these inconveniences.

How does an anti-UV t-shirt work

When you practice a nautical activity, wearing an anti-UV t-shirt is all the more justified as you are vulnerable to the rays that arrive directly from the sun, but also to those that reflect on the surface of the water. How an anti-UV t-shirt works is quite simple to understand: the mesh of the fabric is much tighter than the mesh of a classic t-shirt. It is therefore the tightening which prevents the rays from passing through and will protect your skin. Some anti-UV t-shirts are made from a fabric that is itself more UV-resistant. As with the rest of sports textiles: not all anti-UV t-shirts are equal. A value scale exists to know how effective the t-shirt in question is. From 15 UPF, a t-shirt is considered protective. A rating of 15 UPF will block 93% of UV rays, and a rating of 50+ UPF will stop over 98% of these rays.
