Why UPF50+
UPF is your ultimate defense against harmful UV rays
SPF measures how sunscreen protects your skin from UVB rays, which cause sunburn. UPF applies to fabrics and blocks both UVB and UVA rays. UVA rays go deeper, causing skin aging and long-term damage. The higher the UPF, the greater the protection.
Everyday protection, elevated
Sun damage isn’t just a beach-day concern—it’s everywhere, every day. With 80% of lifetime sun exposure coming from daily activities, staying protected is essential.
- 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer by age 70.
- 90% of skin aging is caused by UV exposure.
- Just five sunburns double your risk of melanoma.
That’s why Tied’s UPF 50+ fabric goes beyond protection. Infused with collagen, it’s breathable, cooling, and luxuriously soft. It’s also antibacterial, odor-eliminating, and rigorously tested to meet U.S. standards, ensuring lasting defense that feels amazing on your skin.
