Sun Science We love being outdoors. Running, hiking, swimming, cycling: you name it, and we're game. But we also know that being under the sun can damage skin, and UV Rays are the biggest offenders. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that UV Rays can cause skin damage in as little as 15 minutes. Take Cover There are great recommendations from the CDC on how to arm yourself against damaging UV Rays, including a resource on how to check your UV Index by city. Among their guidelines: wear full coverage clothing when possible. The problem? They note that typical t-shirts have an SPF rating of under 15. Don't worry. Perspective has your back. Apparel Innovation Our apparel goes the "extra mile" for our community. This starts with our sun protection factor (SPF) of 50+. SPF is a measurement of effectiveness in blocking UV rays: the higher the number, the greater the protection. We know that women who wear Perspective are often in the sun pursuing their health and fitness goals. When we say we "have your back," we mean that literally: our shrugs and lightweight long sleeves protect areas of the body that are commonly exposed to the sun while training. The Feel the Flow Long Sleeve is ideal for long outdoor workouts. They are lightweight and breathable enough to wear on a hot day while providing max coverage. The Got Your Back Shrug shines in its versatility: you can easily pull it over a top to give your back, shoulders, and arms a break from the rays. Big Picture We know that our SPF 50+ fabric technology isn't the ONLY answer to skin safety: we consider ourselves a part of the bigger sun protection picture We encourage you to find the best ways to protect the skin you're in, and we're honored to 'have your back!'
