Hot sun clothes are mostly false

Sun protection clothing sales hot

“This summer has not only become a thin flash of lightning, but has sunburned into a dark cloud.” The popular phrase on Weibo has caused a lot of girls in our city to resonate, and citizen Xiaoyuan is one of them. She was obviously tanned a month after she entered the summer. Seeing the sun getting darker, Xiaoyuan bought a sun protection clothing on the Internet. “This is not afraid of the sun.” Xiaoyuan thought that she could wear sun protection clothing and she found herself still tanned. Use it?

The reporter searched on Taobao and entered only the words “sun protection clothing and women”. There were about 300,000 babies jumped out of the search bar. The price of these sun protection clothes ranges from twenty to thirty yuan to two to three hundred dollars. The style of clothes is mostly long sleeves or short-sleeved jackets made of polyester. The reporter browsed the transaction records of some stores on the Internet and found that most stores had more than 500 sales records in January, and some stores could sell tens of thousands of sun protection clothes in a month.

In fact, sun protection clothing is not only sold online, but physical stores are also extremely popular. Reporters visited some shopping malls and outdoor stores in the city and found that sun protection clothing was hung in the shop's most prominent position. The sunscreen clothing in the physical store is less color than the Internet, mainly red, yellow and blue, and the price is much more expensive than the Internet, ranging from 500 to 900 yuan. A staff member of a walking street importing a mountaineering clothing shop said that since the summer, sun protection clothing has been replenished four times.

Most products do not have a sun protection index

According to January 1, 2011, China's newly issued "Evaluation of UV Protective Properties of Textiles". Uva refers to the wavelength band that causes the greatest harm to the human body in ultraviolet rays, while upf refers to the degree of transmission of ultraviolet rays. The greater the value, the lower the degree of transmission. Only when the product's upf is greater than 30 (identified as 30+), and the UVA transmittance is less than 5%, it can be referred to as a "UV protection product."

Sunscreen clothing can not sun? The reporter learned that most of the sunscreen clothing without sun protection index on the market does not have a sunscreen effect, and even the sun protection clothing with its own sun protection index may have reduced protection performance under long-term use and stretching or moisture. In other words, even if the sunscreen on the market has a sunscreen effect, after several times of washing, the sunscreen effect will decrease.

An industry person who has long been engaged in outdoor sports has introduced that the real sun protection clothing should be clothing that is worn only under special circumstances. It is made of special aerospace clothing fabrics or sunshade materials, and the cost is relatively high. If economical conditions permit, when purchasing sunscreen clothing, it should be noted that the product label should be marked with the following three aspects: the number of the implementation of the standard, namely gb/t18830-2009; upf value: 30+ or ​​50+; long-term use And in the case of stretching or moisture, the protective performance of the product may be reduced.

The reporter learned that, in fact, we wear ordinary clothes, as long as it is long-sleeved can indirectly play a certain role in sun protection, but different clothing materials, color and other factors, the effect will be different.

According to this standard, when reporters browsed the shop, they found that most sunscreens were not marked with a sun protection index. Some sun protection clothing is not marked for materials, fabrics, how to wash, brands, etc. Some of the labels on the labels are in English and difficult to identify.

In an interview with a physical store in the city, the reporter also found the same problem. In a shop selling domestically-made mountaineering products in the Old City, the fabrics and sun protection functions of the clothes were also not marked on the tag of the sun protection clothing sold. For the clothing's sun protection index, the boss said, "The sun protection index? We did not label, but you can rest assured that clothes can absolutely play a role in sun protection."

Subsequently, the reporter found that in an imported mountaineering product store on Pedestrian Street, some sun protection products such as hats and pants sold in the store were clearly marked with “upf40+”. Different from other sun protection garments using the same material, the brand's sun protection clothing uses a mesh fabric in the armpit and neckline. The price of a women's sun protection clothing is 899 yuan, and the price of shorts with a sun protection index is between 400 and 600 yuan.
