What Is Sun-Protective Clothing?

Sun-protective clothing is designed to reduce how much ultraviolet (UV) radiation reaches your skin.

Unlike regular garments, which may offer inconsistent or minimal protection, sun-protective clothing is developed with fabric choice, construction, and coverage working together to shield the skin more effectively.

More than just fabric thickness

Many people assume that darker or thicker clothing automatically protects better.
In reality, sun protection depends on several factors:

• Fiber type and fabric structure

• How tightly the fabric is woven or knitted

• Stretch, fit, and how the garment sits on the body

• Overall coverage and design

Sun-protective garments are engineered with these elements in mind — not left to chance.

Clothing as your first layer of protection

Sunscreen plays an important role, but it requires frequent reapplication and is easy to forget. Clothing offers constant, passive protection throughout the day.

When designed correctly, sun-protective clothing:

• Protects consistently, without effort

• Reduces reliance on sunscreen

• Covers areas that are often missed

You simply put it on — and it works.

Designed to be worn, not avoided

At PRTECT, sun protection is integrated into garments you actually want to wear.

No technical look.
