What UPF means
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) shows how much UV radiation a fabric lets reach the skin. A UPF 50 rating corresponds to about 98% UV blocking under the rating conditions. Confirm the manufacturer's rating, garment coverage and care instructions for each style. Clothing is one part of sun protection; exposed skin still needs protection. See The Skin Cancer Foundation and Cancer Council.
Who buys them
- Families: check the children's styles, sizes and verified ratings available for your intended range.
- Water-sports guests: snorkelers, surfers and paddleboarders want long sleeves.
- Guests seeking more coverage: consider suitable rated garments alongside shade and sunscreen for exposed skin, following the relevant product instructions.
Build the range
- Long-sleeve and short-sleeve rashguards for men and women
- Kids' sizes in bright colors
- A few neutral colors that work as everyday sun shirts
- For destination printing, confirm the selected garment and process are suitable before ordering
Place rashguards next to sunscreen and swimwear, so a guest buying one sees the others.
