Abstract The purpose of our project was to find out if the claimed UVR reduction of UPF rated clothing is achieved and how it compares to non-UPF rated clothing of similar fabrics. We gained interest in this topic after realizing that sunscreen wasn’t always reliable. We feel that the information gained from this study will raise awareness of other means of protecting ourselves from the sun.
