How to choose your UV protection T-shirt (Part 1)
This anti-UV T-shirt is UPF 50.
The UPF standard (which stands for UV Protection Factor) helps to determine the amount of UV rays blocked by an item of clothing:
The choice is therefore made on the length of the sleeves, then it will depend on the type of UPF. When between 0 and 15, the item of clothing is not considered to be anti-UV. UPF 15 to 24 filters between 93.3% and 95.9% of UV.
UPF 25 to 39 filters between 96% and 97.4% of rays. UPF 40 to 50 is 97.5% to 98% effective.
UV protection even when wet.
This anti-UV product's fabric is effective against between 97% to 98% of UVs. It can be used both in and out of the water, for water or nautical sports. The density of the textile fibres filters out UV rays, for long-lasting protection, even after washing. Caution: the elastane contained in the fibres may deteriorate in chlorinated water.

Behaviour when in the sun
Although this T-shirt provides protection from the sun, phenomena such as reflections (from the water, sand, etc.), heat, time of day, etc., must be taken into account. Wearing this T-shirt does not exempt the wearer from adopting suitable behaviour: wear sunglasses, wear a hat or cap, regularly apply an appropriate sun cream, drink regularly, etc.
