The promise seems too beautiful to be true … However, anti-UV clothes have real utility. Just choose them well to benefit from their efficiency.
Anti-UV clothing has been popular in recent years. But for many skeptical individuals, they are only yet another marketing ploy to sell banal clothes without proven efficiency. However, it would seem that these clothes have real added value in UV protection. You just have to look at the side of the surf combinations to stop doubting it: they offer an unparalleled barrier against the sun’s rays, even when you chain back and forth in salt water. But then, since classic and less technical UV clothes available at Amazon or Uniqlo look like completely normal clothes, it is difficult to detect the true from the false, the optimal performance of zero efficiency.
Faced with this ocean of possibilities, the editorial staff plunged into the heart of the matter to get out of the abyss from the internet the anti-UV t-shirt that really protects from the shelves. The most efficient? It is signed by a brand made in France: Decathlon. And icing on the cake: its price is mini, since it is only worth 7.99 euros. If this can cause doubt about the effectiveness of the product, our colleagues from 60 million consumers dismantle this received idea: “The price difference does not account for a difference in UV protection: you will not necessarily be better protected by paying more.”
Moreover, those who tested it at sea as in the pool confirm it: the Decathlon T-shirt “Protects very well from the sun” (Fabienne P); East “Perfect for free swimming, holds well, washes very well and protects effectively!” (Alain); and is “Very practical to avoid sunburn” (Sandrine). For the time being, it has nearly 801 positive opinions on the site, with a note of 4.71 out of 5.
Made of polyester, it protects almost as well as neoprene present in surf combinations, with an UPF 50+ protection index. What differentiates these two materials is above all the thickness and therefore the resistance of the habit: the Décathlon anti-UV T-shirt is perfect for daily use, a less intense sporting activity or a beginning surf practice, a swim without necessity of extreme performance.
