Protecting children
Because a child's defense system is met in place after the age of 3, babies' skin is very sensitive to the sun. With identical exposure, the effects of the sun are 2 to 3 times greater for a child than for an adult. So it's important to protect them effectively.
What does UPF 50+ mean?
UPF is a sun protection index (Ultra Violet Protection Factor) standardized and standardized worldwide.
It defines the textile's level of protection and, more precisely, the proportion of UV transmission.
To comply with standards, it must block at least 95% of UV rays. UPF 50+ means that the textile blocks at least 95% of UVA and 98% of UVB rays.
How should you behave in the sun?
Although this hat provides protection from the sun, phenomena such as reverberation (on water, sand, etc.), heat, time of day, etc. must be taken into account. Wearing a hat doesn't mean you don't need to take appropriate precautions, such as wearing sunglasses, applying a suitable sun cream regularly, wearing an anti-UV top or anti-UV shorty, and keeping regularly hydrated.
