As a parent, you do everything to protect your child, from ensuring they eat healthy to making sure they get enough sleep. But on the golf course, where they spend hours under the sun's powerful rays, are they truly protected?
The Skin Cancer Foundation reports that one blistering sunburn in childhood can more than double a person's chances of developing melanoma later in life. With experts estimating that up to 50% of our lifetime sun exposure occurs before the age of 20, proper sun protection is not just a suggestion—it's a necessity.
Sunscreen is a fantastic first line of defense, but on its own, it’s not enough. For junior golfers, who are active and often on the course for three to four hours at a time, a different kind of protection is needed.
The Problem with Sunscreen Alone
Sunscreen works by absorbing or reflecting UV radiation, but its effectiveness wears off quickly. For a child on a hot, sunny golf course, sunscreen faces three big challenges:
-
Reapplication: Sunscreen needs to be reapplied every two hours, or even more frequently if a child is sweating heavily. During a long round, it's easy for kids to forget or simply not have time to reapply. A recent study found that 43% of parents indicated their child had at least one sunburn in the past year, a clear sign that our current sun protection methods aren't always effective.
-
Sweat and Water: As a child sweats on a hot day, sunscreen's protection is significantly reduced. Even "water-resistant" formulas aren't designed to hold up to constant sweat over an entire round.
-
Incomplete Coverage: It's almost impossible to get a perfect, even layer of sunscreen on every part of the skin. This can lead to missed spots that are vulnerable to sunburn.
The Ultimate Solution: UPF Clothing
This is where UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) clothing comes in. Unlike sunscreen, which is applied to the skin, UPF clothing is a textile solution that provides continuous, reliable sun protection.
Think of it as sunscreen woven directly into the fabric. The tighter the weave and the higher the UPF rating, the more UV radiation the fabric blocks. Our UPF 50+ arm sleeves block an incredible 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays.
