is a revolutionary textile development that has been specially engineered in Australia by Perm-A-Pleat to protect you against the harmful UV effects of the Australian sun. It provides the very highest UV protection without any chemical impregnation.

Overexposure to UV over many years can cause more serious health problems such as skin cancer or cataracts. Garments such as that are sensibly designed for sun protection reduce your UV exposure. The Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) shows how well a fabric protects your skin from solar UV.

According to the UPF Classification System shown below, fabrics are rated as Excellent Protection with greater than 97.5% of UV rays blocked.

In addition to wearing clothing, the Australian Cancer Society and the New Zealand Cancer Society recommend that you choose a garment that provides good body coverage (e.g. a shirt with long sleeves and collar), and that you apply sunscreen of at least SPF15 to all exposed skin. Make sure you wear a broad-brimmed hat and take care to reduce your sun exposure between 10am and 3pm even on cool or cloudy days.
