Does this block the sun rays? I have a large scar on my calf that I need to shield from the sun while I go deep sea fishing. Will this work?

The brochure in the box says not to wear it during sports or bathing/showering, because sweat/water will interfere with the adhesive. Maybe to shield the scar on your calf you can get one of those sleeves/stocking things worn by people who have to conceal their tattoos.

I am not exactly sure but suspect it would. These are about the thickness of a substantial band aid and band aids seem to block the sun. I looked on my package insert and your question was not addressed. I emailed the company and if I get an answer, I'll edit review. This would be a good thing to know. Hope you have good luck fishing.

I do not know. However, windshields do block UVA rays. I do not know about the other rays.

Yes, but honestly, I never really ended up using this much. It was more of a hassle, and kind of a cheap product. I still haven't found the perfect product to shield the sun, but found the larger canopy's worked better. I also questioned just how much protection it was giving. Sorry for having more complaints and not a direct solution to offer. :(

I didn't purchase the product for this purpose but I do know it helps with sun protection. I use it for pain control and it works great! I had knee, hip and back pain and after 3 or 4 weeks the pain was GONE!

I have used this with much success. I went snorkeling in the ocean last year and had regular moisturizer on my face with SPF 30 and this on the rest of my body. My face got sunburned but my body did not. I have been using this for years and love it. You do need to rub it in well because you can see a little white residue if you don't.

The boat cover we put it on was already heavily exposed to sun. So I am not sure, but as a water repellant it was fantastic. Our cover made it thru many storms.

Not sure what you mean. I have the RoC morning tube and a night tube and use them both daily. We live on a lake and I still use sunscreen over it. Not sure how much it helps but I heard this is the best cream to use and I do like it. Wrinkles e not getting worse.

Doesn't claim to block UV rays. I don't think that it has UV rays. It is a short blue light wavelength and is used for seasonal affective disorder or (SAD). People who get depressed or have less energy during the winter months when there is less sunlight often use these to decrease the SAD symptoms. I use it in the winter months and like it a lot.

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!

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.

I purchased the dark tinted skylight and strongly assume it does block some uv light. I have not tested it to be certain.

No. The water will ask through like a thin wetsuit. It is useful so you don't chafe if surfing or as sun protection on a dive boat or while swimming.

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.

Hello, This product does not provide good protection from the sun so you will want use a sunscreen as well if you are going to be in the sun.

I feel that it does block the wind, but I used this in as a privacy fence for my pool screen enclosure, so I actually have it layered as pool screen, privacy fence and then lattice on the backside as well. I can say that there is still wind passing through so the air in my pool area is not stagnant, but I haven't felt like a major gust of wind or seen any rips. I absolutely love this and my boyfriend agreed once it was hanging. Excellent for the price and we did it ourselves. You can definitely see threw it as well. I hope that helps!

No I dont think it does. I think it is just the fabric itself that has some measure of UV protection. I have had some of these us for 5 or 6 summers now and they are holding up well - and the UV here in Albuquerque (mile high altitude) are intense. They block most, but not all, sunlight which would leave plenty to grow anything here, even say flowers.
