FAQ
Who are we?
We're Some Sun®-- we make cute sun protection UPF clothing to make protecting your skin easy. Our classic styles are designed to blend in with your existing wardrobe, so you can protect your skin everywhere.
What is UPF clothing?
UPF measures the amount of UV radiation that can penetrate fabric and reach your skin. UPF clothing is designed to block UVA and UVB rays, the rays that cause skin damage. Most summer clothes and fabric don't provide enough sun protection.
Our sun protection clothing is 3rd party certified to ensure the fabric's protective factors are working properly.
How are we different from other UPF clothing brands?
Most sun protection, sun resistant, UPF clothing brands develop clothes in unflattering styles and colors and are made cheaply. We make sun protective clothing that is on trend, but classic, in appealing colors with high quality fabrics and composition. Since we wear sun protective clothing most days when the sun is out, we want styles to look and feel great in.
What gives our clothing its UPF factor?
Our clothing blocks UV rays through a combination of fabric thickness, weave and fiber type. We do not use chemical washes to reach UV factors.
How is our UPF clothing certified?
We complete 3rd-party lab testing to verify the UPF rating on all fabrics.
How to we grade and verify sun protection?
The standard for grading UPF as follows:
For examples. a fabric must have a UPF of 30 to qualify for The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation. A UPF of 30 to 49 offers very good protection, while UPF 50+ rates as excellent. At Some Sun®, we only offer UPF ratings of 30 or higher, and we will always clearly note the UPF factor. All of our fabrics are third party tested.
Wet style testing: If the style is intended for the water, by stating such (e.g. swimsuit, rash guard) we additionally 'wet test' the fabric to verify its UPF factor, and choose the lower rating between the dry and wet test, if they are different figures.

Product Disclaimer
Our UPF-rated clothing is designed to provide enhanced protection against harmful UV rays; however, it does not guarantee complete prevention of UV damage or sunburns, as the effectiveness of sun-protective fabrics can vary based on factors such as fit, stretch, wear, and exposure to water, detergents, or other environmental elements.
Additionally, while we maintain high-quality standards utilizing 3rd party lab wet and dry testing, occasional product defects may occur. Over time, the UV-blocking properties of our garments may naturally diminish due to repeated use, washing, and general wear and tear.
For optimal sun protection, we recommend using our products in combination with other sun safety measures, such as broad-spectrum sunscreen, sunglasses, and seeking shade when necessary. If you have concerns about a specific product, please contact our customer service team.
