PROTECT YOUR SKIN ALL YEAR WITH UPF50
Even when snow is on the ground or clouds cover the sky, UV rays still get through.
Winter Doesn't Block UV
~ Many think that cold, overcast or winter days mean no UV risks, but that's a misconception
~ UV can go through cloud cover so you can still incur sun damage in winter
~ UPF50 clothing is your first line of defense as it blocks ~98% of UVA and UVB rays
~Did you know you can get even more sun damage in winter? Snow and ice act as reflectors when sunlight bounces off snow, doubling exposure
About Vitamin D
~ Yes, our bodies do need some UV exposure to synthesize vitamin d. And this vitamin is crucial to overall health. But unchecked exposure carries risk
~ Many dermatologists recommend supplementing vitamin D from safer alternatives (eg diet, supplements) and protecting your skin when outdoors
~ Consider talking with your provider about supplementation
How To Wear UPF Wisely
~ Choose full-coverage pieces such as sun sleeves, beanies and gaiters. eclipse offers all of these in UPF50 to blend performance with comfort
~ Remember your hands and neck as these are often the first to incur UV damage
~ During bright, reflective conditions (snow and ice) be extra cautious since UV intensifies
Why UPF Clothing
~ Sunscreen is important but is subject to errors in application and wearing off from sweat or contact
~ Our UPF50 fabric offers consistent defense
