Frequently Asked Questions

What is UPF sun-protection clothing?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) clothing is specially designed to block harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from penetrating fabric and reaching your skin. It offers a built-in level of sun protection that doesn't wash out like sunscreen.
What does a UPF rating mean in clothing?
UPF ratings indicate how much UV radiation a fabric allows to reach your skin. For example, a UPF 50 shirt blocks about 98% of the sun's rays, offering excellent protection.
What makes UPF clothing block the sun's harmful UV rays?
UPF clothing blocks UV radiation through a combination of tightly woven fabric construction, special synthetic fibers and sometimes chemical treatments that enhance UV resistance. These elements work together to prevent both UVA and UVB rays from reaching your skin, offering reliable and long-lasting sun protection.
What fabrics are commonly used in UPF sun-protective clothing?
UPF-rated garments are typically made from tightly woven synthetic materials like polyester, nylon, and spandex, which naturally block UV rays. Some cotton and bamboo blends can also offer sun protection when treated or woven densely. The material's weave, thickness, color and stretchiness all play a role in how well it shields your skin from harmful sunlight.
Is UPF clothing better than sunscreen?
Yes, UPF clothing provides consistent sun protection that doesn't wear off or require reapplication like sunscreen. For best results, use both together for full-body sun defense.
Who should wear UPF clothing?
Everyone can benefit from UPF clothing, especially outdoor workers, athletes, hikers, boaters and people with fair or sun-sensitive skin. It's also a must-have for people with susceptibility to burning, such as kids, fair-skinned people and those with a history of skin cancer.
What's the difference between UPF and SPF?
UPF (used for clothing) measures protection against both UVA and UVB rays. SPF (used for sunscreen) primarily measures protection against UVB rays only.
What is the difference between UPF and UV sun-protective clothing?
UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) is the official rating system for clothing and textiles, measuring how much UV radiation the fabric blocks. "UV protection" is a general term and may refer to any clothing that claims to shield against ultraviolet rays—but without a certified UPF rating, its effectiveness may vary.
How long does UPF clothing last?
High-quality UPF clothing retains its sun protection for dozens of washes—often 30 to 50 washes or more—if cared for properly. Always follow garment care instructions to maintain effectiveness.
Can you wash UPF clothing like regular clothes?
Yes, most UPF clothing can be machine-washed. However, avoid harsh detergents, bleach, and fabric softeners, which may reduce the garment's protective properties. Always follow laundry care instructions listed on the garment's tag.
Does dark or light clothing offer better sun protection?
Darker colors generally absorb more UV rays, offering better protection than lighter shades. However, light-colored garments with a high UPF rating are still effective.
Where can I buy affordable UPF sun protection clothing?
You can shop high-quality, budget-friendly UPF apparel at ShirtSpace.com. We offer a wide range of sun-protective shirts, polos, hoodies and more—perfect for the whole family.
Is UPF clothing worth the investment?
Absolutely. UPF apparel provides reliable, chemical-free protection and can save you money on sunscreen over time. It's a smart long-term choice for sun safety.

Yes. ShirtSpace offers UPF-rated work shirts, polos, long sleeves, sweatshirts and jackets designed for durability and comfort—perfect for outdoor jobs like construction, landscaping and delivery.
Can I wear UPF clothing for water sports or swimming?
Definitely. Many UPF garments double as swim shirts or rash guards. They offer quick-dry properties and maintain UV protection even when wet. We highly recommend the brand Paragon for high-quality shirts for water activities.
Do you sell UPF sun-protective hats?
Yes, we carry UPF-rated hats that offer excellent sun protection for your face, ears and neck. These sun-protective hats are ideal for outdoor work, sports and everyday wear, helping block harmful UV rays while keeping you cool.
Can children wear UPF sun-protective clothing?
Yes, and they should! Kids have more sensitive skin and tend to spend more time outdoors. Kids' UPF clothing is a safe, easy way to protect them without constant sunscreen reapplication.
