UPF 50+

UPF 50+ fabric offers exceptional sun protection, blocking over 98% of harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from reaching the skin. Unlike SPF, which only measures protection from UVB rays (those that cause sunburn), UPF ratings indicate protection from both UVA and UVB rays, making it ideal for extended outdoor wear. Glacier Outdoors high UPF rating is achieved through tightly woven fibers, UV-absorbing fabric treatments, and the use of specialized synthetic materials.

Our UPF fabrics are breathable and moisture-wicking, which keeps the wearer cool and comfortable in the sun. Our UPF 50+ products are perfect for activities like hiking, fishing, hunting, or any prolonged exposure to sunlight, eliminating the need for messy oils or creams whose scent may alert fish and game to your presence. Its protection is long-lasting and does not wash out, ensuring dependable sun safety for the fabric’s lifetime.
