Sun Protection vs Regular Clothing

Not all clothing protects you equally from the sun.

While most garments provide some coverage, the level of protection varies widely — and often unpredictably.

Regular clothing

Typical summer clothing is designed primarily for appearance and comfort.
Sun protection is usually incidental.

Regular garments may:

• Allow significant UV radiation to pass through

• Lose protective ability when stretched or wet

• Offer limited or inconsistent coverage

In many cases, protection is assumed — not ensured.

Sun-protective clothing

Sun-protective garments are designed with intention.

They are developed to:

• Block harmful UV rays more effectively

• Maintain protection throughout the day

• Perform consistently over time

This is achieved through fabric engineering, construction, and thoughtful design.

The difference in everyday life

Sun-protective clothing doesn’t require you to change your habits.
It simply replaces uncertainty with reliability.

No constant reapplication.
No second-guessing your outfit.

Just clothing that works — all day, every day.

Why it matters

The best sun protection is the one you actually use.

By integrating protection into garments you want to wear, sun-protective clothing becomes part of daily life — not a special precaution.

That is the difference PRTECT is designed around.
