“Our SPF shirt looks like a T-shirt and feels like a T-shirt, but when it comes to blocking the sun's dangerous UV rays, it's more like a coat of armor,” says SPF co-founder, Terry Breese.
Less expensive than most of the ordinary cotton shirts sold by brand-name clothing companies, while blocking over 97% of UV rays, these SPF T-shirts will revolutionize sun-protection with affordability.
The United Nations has estimated that 60,000 people died worldwide last year from overexposure to the sun. In America, one person dies every hour, of every day from melanoma skin cancer. Over the last five years, more than five million Americans have been diagnosed with skin cancer. Most of the sun damage (80%) occurs before age 18. By wearing sun-protective clothing, especially starting at a young age, it may now be possible for hundreds of thousands of people to lower their risks of developing skin cancer.
The break-through technology that the Solar Protective Factory developed in the early nineties that enabled many synthetic fabrics to block up to 99.9% of UVA and UVB led to NASA adopting SPF fabrics for their sun-space suits for children. These protective suits allowed children with severe UV allergies to go out in the sun safely for the first time in their lives.
Products made from this family of UV protective fabrics are available as Solarweave and Solarknit in a wide variety of styles. Companies such as Nike, Reebok, Liz Claiborne and Sportif have used SPF fabrics for their apparel, headwear, swimwear, tents and umbrellas.
