UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor and indicates how much of the sun's UV radiation is absorbed. A fabric with a rating of 50 will allow only 1/50th of the sun's UV rays to pass through. This means the fabric will reduce your skin's UV radiation exposure significantly, because only 2 percent of the UV rays will get through.

SPF stands for Sun Protection Factor and is the rating you're familiar with for sunscreens and other sun-protective products. It measures the amount of time it takes for sun-exposed skin to redden, while UPF measures the amount of UV radiation that penetrates a fabric and reaches the skin. The material is not treated with a chemical.

In addition to being a practical and fully functional way to protect yourself from the sun’s harmful UV rays, San Diego Hat Co. doesn’t forget the importance of a fashion element to their designs. We pride ourselves on offering a wide variety of UPF 50+ rated designs that can take you from the beach to a garden party, from hiking to a sporting event, or from lounging poolside to walking the farmer’s market in style. In addition to styling details, many of the silhouettes are also pack-able, making them a great option for those vacationing in warmer climates. Being based in one of the sunniest destinations in the United States, gives us the advantage of personally testing each design to make sure it protects you efficiently and keeps the compliments coming!
