Protect the Skin You Are In With Patagonia Clothing Brand

When we are out just “catching some sun” we never realize how much of an effect the elements we are subjecting our skin to have in the long term span. Your skin is the largest organ of the body. It is better to be proactive with issues such as skin cancer and wear the appropriate attire to protect your skin.

Summer and tans may go hand in hand— but so does sunshine and skin cancer. Although more and more clothing offers sun protection, labels can be confusing. What exactly does Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) mean? How can UPF clothing protect us from the sun, and is it really any different than normal clothing? Local retailer, Patagonia offers a full line of UPF products that provide built-in sun protection with ventilation and moisture wicking properties for supreme comfort and breathability whether you’re hitting the beach or the slopes.
