UPF 50+ Sun Protection: What Families Should Know

Not all fabric protects equally. UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) tells you how much UV radiation reaches your skin through the material—similar to SPF for sunscreen, but built into what you wear.

Why UPF 50+ matters

A UPF 50+ garment blocks roughly 98% of UV rays when worn as designed. That matters most during long park days, beach trips, and high-altitude hikes—times when cumulative exposure adds up fast.

Tips for outdoor families

• Layer UPF pieces with hats and shade breaks.
• Reapply sunscreen on exposed skin; clothing covers what it covers.
• Choose breathable fabrics so kids actually keep layers on.

We design Escapade pieces so protection feels like normal clothing—because the best sun gear is the kind you reach for without a second thought.
