When choosing your sun protection gear, it's important to look for clothing rated with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating of 50+. Outdoor Research's sun-protective apparel is crafted with lightweight, breathable fabrics that wick away moisture, so you stay cool and comfortable even on the hottest summer days. Pair your UPF clothing with a wide-brimmed sun hat that shades your face, neck, and ears โ€” areas that are often overlooked but especially vulnerable to sun damage โ€” and you'll have a head-to-toe defense system that lets you focus on the adventure, not the aftermath.
