Keeping Your Skin Safe: Why UV Protection is so important.

With the blazing sun on the rise, it's time to talk about the essential topic of UV protection: protecting our precious skin from those sneaky UV rays. At Rooster, we know the importance of shielding ourselves from the sun, which is why we have a full range of UV protective clothing, ranging from leggings/tops to hats. Our tight-fitting rash vest range is limited to long sleeve only, as we strongly believe that protection is the key to longevity in both your health and the time you can spend doing the sports you love. So, read on to see why UV protective clothing is so important.

The Sneaky Threat of UV Radiation

UV radiation are the invisible troublemakers that the sun sends our way. There are 3 types or UV rays, UVA, UVB and UVC that can seriously mess up our skin. While the Earth's atmosphere absorbs most UVC, UVA and UVB rays still pose a significant risk to our skin. Prolonged exposure to UV radiation can lead to various health issues, including sunburns, premature aging, eye damage, and an increased risk of skin cancer. That's why we need to take UV protection seriously. Suncream is the number one thing most people think of when they think ‘sun protection’, but, wearing the wrong clothes can lead to unexpected sunburn and damage through your clothing – That’s why It’s important to get your kit right, but that is easy because we have done the hard bit for you!
