How well do caps protect?Not all materials protect the same from UV rays, in fact most of them let UVB and UVA rays through, which penetrate into the skin. UV measuring instruments show us that UVA, and UVB penetrate through knitted white cotton. Synthetic materials also show insufficient protection. |
