for the sun sensitive

[Guest guest]

There is sun protective clothing available. One company is Sunday

Afternoons, their website:

http://www.sundayafternoons.com

There clothing is UPF 40-50. Their are also other companies like REI that

now carry this type of clothing.....it is lightweight and lets you be out

in the full sun. I have one of their hats and it is great for river rafting

trips, etc. It covers the back of your neck also.

What is UPF?

UPF means `Ultraviolet Protection Factor', the accepted world standard for

rating UV resistance in textiles. Our testing is done by the Textile

Research & Testing Laboratory at California Polytechnic State University.

All results were a unanimous `Excellent' rating of 40-50 UPF, the highest

possible. A garment with a UPF rating of 50, allows 1/50th of the UV rays

to pass through. Sun protective properties in our fabrics last the life of

the garment.
