What You'll Learn
Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, and its incidence has increased over recent years. Though most physicians advocate the use of daily sunscreen, many forget to mention other modalities of sun protection, such as protective clothing, eyewear, hats, and avoidance of the sun in general. In this article, we will discuss the importance of sun protective clothing and the factors, such as weave, fabric, weight, color, moisture, and stretch that all contribute to a clothing’s ability to protect from the sun’s harmful UV radiation.
