Too much direct sunlight or Ultraviolet radiation (UV) can cause sunburn and over time may result in health problems such as skin cancer or cataracts. Clothing with an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating of 40 -50+ reduces this risk. Regardless of the UPF, you should always wear a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen when in direct sunlight for any time. |
