Why I Love It

This durable, foldable beach hat is perfect on the dinghy. I store it in the glove compartment so it is always available.

A quick lesson on UPF vs SPF – you may be familiar with SPF which is used for sunscreen and lotions while most clothing is designated UPF.

UPF stands for ultraviolet protection factor and rates the amount of harmful UVA and UVB rays a fabric allows to reach your skin. For instance, a shirt with a UPF 50 rating blocks 98 percent of harmful rays and allows 2 percent, or 1/50, to reach your skin. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends clothes with a UPF rating of 30 or higher, with 50 being the best.

SPF, which stands for sun protection factor, is a time-based rating for how long wearing it will keep your skin from getting burned compared to not wearing any sunscreen at all. So, a sunscreen with an SPF 15 rating will keep you from getting burned 15 times longer than if you went outside without wearing it.
