Are these suits UV protected and what rating?

Not sure if the suits are uv protected. My child is very fair and burns easily if not slathered in sunscreen she has never been sunburned when wearing this. but I don't know if it has an official uv rating.

I don't know what UV rating they claim, but the only body parts not covered are head, hands, and feet. I usually use a waterproof sunscreen stick like bullfrog to protect my kids' face (ears, nose, cheeks). I'm very pleased with these suits. They're a great value, and the warmth they provide make surfing fun. Being cold is miserable.

After watching the video you sent, the answer is, yes they are protected. I had never heard of such a thing. Thanks for making me a little wiser.

YES! Our cover material is highly resistant to deterioration from UV. Great question. Thanks! - JWALT

Not sure. I wasnt too concerned because my regular glasses have both UVA and UVB protection.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I've thrown away the boxes they came in, but I remember lots of symbols and remarks about the product on the outside of the box. However, I don't remember about UV protector.

The specs say that is has UV protection however I am unsure how to tell exactly.

I would say they are water resistant. They do have a rubbber gasket behind the lense but fully submerged for any lenght of time they might get water in the shell.

They have an IR-3 or IR-5 rating and an ANSI Z87.1 that requires listing the UV protection level but I couldn't find it anywhere on the goggles or any sites offering them. I use them for glass and metal working but you might hold off using them for UV until you know for sure. Most IR rated optics do block UV but I'm not sure if that's intrinsic. It's the opposite end of the spectrum that these are explicitly designed to protect your eyes from.

The 2 pair of the unisex compression calf sleeves (that I own) are UV 50+ rated, according to the SKINS website.

Yes it has UV protection! It blocks out more sun than it looks like it would! I absolutely love this cover!!Don't know the weight but it's not really heavy! We covered our percula with it! Love it!

they are very flimsy (as in thin and wobbly, not that they will fall apart) , and there was no label indicating UV resistant or what not, but i don't see why not.

Yes. There is some UV protector on them. They will still yellow eventually though.

No because there is no UV protection in product description or advertised as such

I've had these sunglasses for about 6 months now. I wear them running, so I sweat all over them and they are fine. I've even gotten caught in a couple rain storms and they still work just fine. So I can vouch at they at least are moderately water proof. I wouldn't wear them in the swimming pool or anything! :)

Yes these are the ones with the dark smoked tint. The googles are great. I am not certain what the uv rating is but I remember there was a sticker on them when I received them that indicated the UV. I remember that it was an acceptable or higher. I use these googles on bright sunny days. They keep the dust and debris out and also is a wonderful shield from the sun. I can ride directly into the sun and not be affected when wearing these googles.

I don't know because have not tested them on the water in sun or rain as of yet.

Hi Colleen. I looked at the box and it doesn't say anywhere on it about being UV. So I don't think it is. Hope this helps
