The cotton golf shirt I now wear seems to protect me from sunburn. Why do I need Solarveil?
Practically any regular apparel will provide some protection from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet radiation. Although cotton fabric typically used in a regular polo shirt or T-shirt blocks most of the “burning” UVB rays, more of the longer, more deeply penetrating UVA rays will pass through. UVA rays can “brown” the skin, will age and wrinkle the skin and have been linked to the formation of skin cancer. Solarveil blocks almost all of both UVB and UVA rays. Another consideration is that a regular polo shirt or T-shirt is tightly knit and does not have the total breathability feature of the open knit Solarveil fabric. With Solarveil, perspiration rapidly evaporates, which is a cooling, comfort feature. Regular cotton will retain the moisture longer, cause the moisture to evaporate more slowly and be hotter to wear in almost every case. Wearing Solarveil on a hot day, one can feel the air as it easily passes through the fabric to create an air conditioning effect helping to keep one dryer,
