Does this protect from UVA & UVB?

this is the best sunscreen on the market, no filler's like other companies use. I spend a lot of time on the water fishing & boating in south Florida.

I am not totally sure of that answer, I just figured it was like clothes, if its covering up you aren't getting the full impact of the UV light, just like when you are out in the sun, your clothes protect your body. I think its better than not using them at all.

My sense is that there is some degree of UV protection and that's why I purchased one, as it was recommended by my dermatologist. Most cotton fabric has a minimum SPF of 15 for example.

Website says blocks UV rays from up to 400 nanometers? Here's the link. http://www.bolle.com/technology/goggle/technology

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.

Invalid question, this is the only product that has the zinc oxide. This blocks all of the suns UVA & UVB rays, which damage sensitive skin. This sun screen must be reapplied during the day, but it is worth it if you have sensitive skin.

That's difficult to say. The box states "skin is moisturized 24 hours and receives protection from UVA rays." I would guess that the duration of protection depends upon the degree of sweating and exposure to water. I only apply it in the morning but I don't go swimming or sweat that much.

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 never tested it so I am assuming the UVB passed through since it is a thin plastic and I would have hoped the manufacture did test that. Also I felt it was safer to have a protective barrier between the water and the light tube just in case. UVB does pass though plastics and some glass but may be "diluted" or refracted and depending on the thickness and the clarity of the material it can be blocked completely. Also UVB does dissipate with distance so you need to read the details to ensure it is placed appropriately. Hope this helps....

Yes, check out Consumer Reports July 2014 issue. The difference between SPF 15 (93%)and SPF 30(97%) is 4% more UVB ray blocking! Note: SPF only refers to UVB not UVA rays

I would. A lightweight moisturizer with SPF to help prevent UV damage is best.

I've been using this about six months, but the containers I've had so far only mention "UV Defense." Perhaps the text writer for the website took liberties in the description's wording on Amazon?

Yes it's broad spectrum (protects against UVA & UVB rays). It notes protection against both in the product description as well.

Yes, it is my understanding that it has everything to do withe the intensity of the light. It is not providing any UVA or UVB rays which might be filtered out by glasses. I wear my glasses while I sit next to my Happy Light and read or work on my computer. So does my mother.

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!
