Product details
For babies and toddlers, this UV shirt provides protection from the sun while bathing and playing in and around water. It protects your child from UV radiation even when wet. The snap buttons at the neck make it easy to put on. Babies' and toddlers' skin is particularly sensitive to the sun, as their skin's natural protection begins only at age 3. The effects of sunlight are two to three times stronger on children than on adults. Therefore, it is essential to protect children carefully. The UV protection factor (UPF or Ultraviolet Protection Factor) is a globally standardized value that determines the protective effect of the fabric against UV rays. To meet the standard, at least 95% of UV rays must be filtered. UPF 50+ blocks at least 95% of UVA rays and 98% of UVB rays. Although this UV shirt protects against sunlight, other factors such as reflection (from water, sand, etc.), heat, time of day, etc., should also be considered. Proper behavior alongside wearing the UV shirt includes wearing sunglasses and a hat, regularly applying sunscreen, and staying hydrated.
