Hi! As heatwave scorches Europe, the second problem I’m a little afraid of (especially as someone without any melanin in my skin) is the sun. I’ve seen someone mentioning a sun shirt but trying to find real information online is very confusing, especially with EU in mind ( I see US has something called UPF) and if you are not looking for ads. Maybe someone knows something about it?
While looking to see if they mention what those shirts are made of (doesn’t seem like they mention it anywhere, unless I’m missing it), I did notice one of the pictures says it’s treated to be water resistant, which unfortunately could mean they’ve been coated with a PFAS containing repellent, which from what this test showed, appears to come off and potentially contaminate the environment somewhat :(
Could be they use something else, but I think PFAS containing stuff is still the most common.
I am not a fan of the water repellent nature of them. But other than that they are the best sun shirts I have found otherwise.
