I don't know exact numbers on the UV protection but they definitely keep the sun out so I'm sure the UV protection is pretty strong.

It's opaque. What more UV protection do you want? I only wear it under my helmet, so I don't worry about the sun (tonight it was snow I was riding in!).

UV protection, 60~80%, not too heavy. Sorry I am a pro, the last Q you asked is the wrong Q. should go to factory site and ask them.

I don't know what UPF is. If you meant SPF, Sun Protective Factor, blocking 96% of UV A and B is great, at least 30% SPF but probably better as it's actually blocking, not absorbing as sunscreens often do. There is a *distinct* difference between this and any other umbrella I've used. It's VERY effective.

this is a great cover and will protect from the uv rays and due to light color will stay reasonably cool..

It is not too hot. Protection from sun is my priority. I will wear it at the golf course in Fort Myers.

This is meant to be worn instead of a wet suit. I bought it to wear in tropical climate to avoid rash/burn from board in the ocean.

I don't know that the protection is SPF 50, but I can say for sure that I've never had a sun burn problem wearing this hat while boating. And I boat all day long in the hot sun in Missouri in July, so I see no issue or problem. Overall, it's a great product and I highly recommend it.

This is not thermal, it is intended to protect from dangerous UVF sun exposure. Add thermal to your (swim) garment search and that will keep you warm.

The label on the hat indicated so, but not sure how to verify. I did wear a sun hat that wasn't labeled spf protected and can tell you this one is cooler on my headvand face.

Shell: 53% nylon, 47% tactel nylon. Lining: 57% recycled polyester, 43% polyester. This is a very breathable, cool fabric that wears well and provides excellent protection from the sun. The "lining" is a very open-weave that covers the top of the shoulders and the upper area of the chest. The item is described as Columbia Omni-Shade Sun Protection, item numbers are 0113, 01729 and AW7077.

This shirt is a rash guard. It is very thin, not neoprene, with no insulation factors whatsoever. I use to to protect from sun and to keep BCD from rubbing. I am a Master Diver and have logged many dives with this. It would be appropriate for warm tropical diving to protect from chafing, but will not keep you warm.

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.
