the eclipse sun smart guide
Sun Smart Guide
Quiet, daily habits for healthy skin, made effortless with UPF 50+ layers.
Dress first, then UPF. If you’re bringing your phone, bring eclipse.
Why clothing first?
Sunscreen is great, but it depends on perfect application and reapplication. UPF clothing gives instant, consistent protection the moment you get dressed.
UPF vs. SPF
- SPF: sunscreen rating (mostly UVB)
- UPF: fabric rating (UVA + UVB); UPF 50 blocks ~98% of UV
Year-round, everywhere
UV is daily as clouds, altitude, water, sand and snow all affect exposure. Make UPF part of your routine wherever you live.
Vitamin D, wisely
Healthy skin and healthy vitamin D do coexist. Many people get D via diet/supplements; speak with your provider about what’s right for you.
What makes eclipse different
- Adjustable Neck Gaiter (yoke neckline) overlaps your shirt to protect upper chest + neck without gaps.
- Aurora Cover-Up open side hems for airflow; tacked sleeves that stay put; discreet hand loop.
- Wrap scarf, shawl, top, even a travel skirt. One piece, many lives.
- Equinox side vents; self-stowing front pocket + inner key pocket; hood + finger loop.
- Sun Sleeves & Gloves extend coverage to forearms and the backs of hands, often overlooked yet frequently exposed.
Build your simple sun-smart kit

Tip: Keep one eclipse item by the door or in your bag so coverage is always within reach.
Care that keeps performance
- Wash cool; line dry or low tumble
- Skip softeners; fabric hand is already smooth
- Wear on repeat
Do I still need sunscreen?
Yes, on areas not covered by clothing. Dress first, then SPF.
Is UPF 30 enough?
UPF 30 is good; UPF 50 is better (lets ~2% of UV through). Choose 50 if you’re outdoors often or at altitude.
Why sleeves/gloves if I wear long sleeves?
Cuffs creep and hands are often exposed while driving or walking; sleeves/gloves make coverage reliable.
