Keep your skin safe this summer in sun protective clothing

Stay safe in the sun.

You may love the sun, but does it love you? Not to put a bummer on your summer, but too much sunlight can wrinkle your skin, cause skin cancer, dehydrate you, and even lead to cataracts. Many other mammals have fur to protect them from the sun’s rays. But not us. Fortunately, we have sun-protective clothing.

Not all clothes offer equal protection from the sun. The Skin Cancer Foundation explains that garments with the highest Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) are densely woven, loose, and cover as much skin as possible. Dark colors absorb more UV rays than light colors. Unbleached cotton absorbs UV, and some synthetics protect you by reflecting radiation. Unfortunately, any garment will lose some protective ability if it gets wet or stretched. Here is some of the best UPF-rated, sun-protective clothing on the market to protect you during your summer adventures.

Best sun protection gear for golfers in 2023

Stay cool on the golf course all summer long with our list of best ways to beat the heat and protect yourself from the summer sun.

Summer is here which means its time to prepare for the hottest and sunniest days of the year.

No matter if it’s 80 degrees, 120 or somewhere in between, you need to have sun protection to avoid sunburns, UV damage and even skin cancer.

John Hopkins Medicine recommends applying water-resistant sunscreen with no less than 30 SPF to exposed skin every two hours. They also recommend using a lip balm that has 15 SPF. Applying sunscreen before you tee off and when you make the turn is a good habit.

With many brands making breathable long sleeve shirts and pants, opting to wear sleeves/pants can save you from overexposure over the course of the golf season.

Best sunglasses for 2022

We can see clearly now the rain is gone …

Battling the elements is just one of many reasons why we love golf. In order to play your best, you’re going to need protection against all types of weather.

Braving the rain takes courage, but don’t forget about those sunny summer rounds. Everyone thinks about solar sleeves and sunscreen (don’t worry, they’ll get their own list soon), but protecting your eyes should be the first step. The sun’s rays can do irreparable damage to your retinas causing you all sorts of trouble both on and off the course.

To help keep your vision as sharp as possible, we’ve compiled a list of sunglasses made with the golfer in mind that are well worth the investment.
