How to

1. Consider how long you will be outdoors and when sunlight is strongest. Plan to use shade when practical, particularly during high-exposure hours.
2. Choose a comfortable long-sleeved top and trousers that cover more skin. In warm conditions prioritize lightweight options that you can wear consistently.
3. Check for loose, open fabric weaves and large gaps. AAD favors tightly woven fabric over open weaves such as lace for better coverage.
4. When buying clothing, read the actual product's UPF label and care directions. Do not invent a numerical UPF rating for an unlabeled garment.
5. Use a wide-brimmed hat that shades your ears and neck, plus sunglasses labeled for UV protection. Dark lens tint alone is not evidence of UV filtering.
6. Try the long-sleeved top, trousers and hat together and walk for five minutes to check comfort and mobility. Use existing items first, and buy only what is missing.

One more tip

UPF is a rating for apparel. Never guess a number for an unlabeled garment. Moisture or stretching can affect fabric protection.
