Also remember to use a high factor sunscreen - a minimum SPF30 or even higher and wear sunglasses.
SKIN CANCER CAN HAPPEN TO ANYONE – BE SMART: PROTECT YOURSELF
WHAT DOES UPF MEAN?
UPF testing involves exposing a fabric to Ultraviolet Radiation (UVR) and measuring how much is transmitted through the sample. Different wavelengths of radiation in the UVR spectrum have different effects on human skin and this is taken into consideration when calculating the UPF rating.
CANSA SEAL OF RECOGNITION
Emthunzini Hats have been awarded the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) Seal of Recognition (CSOR) symbolising that our products offer the assurance of protection against the harmful effects of the sun. Our fashionable range of sunhats for men, women and children have been especially tested and verifed as meeting the UPF 50+ requirements and carry the UPF50+ swing ticket.
