<p>It’s second nature for most of us to grab a <a href=”https://www.menshealth.com/grooming/g43793177/best-sunscreens/” target=”_blank”>good sunscreen</a> if we’re planning to be out all day, and skin experts will tell you that’s a good idea. But sometimes, it’s still not enough. That’s when you need to consider sun-protectant clothing to doubly protect your precious skin against all that space radiation. The best UPF clothing options create a physical barrier to protect your skin, use embedded chemicals to fend off radiation, or a clever combination of the two.</p><p>Finding the best UPF clothing isn’t hard. Still, we dug into dozens of options, including everything from hats to <a href=”https://www.menshealth.com/style/g28249026/most-flattering-shorts-for-men/” target=”_blank”>shorts</a> to <a href=”https://www.menshealth.com/style/g19540451/comfortable-hoodies-for-men/” target=”_blank”>hoodies</a> to sunshirts. We personally tested every last garment for comfort, durability, UPF factor, and price, so you don’t have to. Here are the best UPF clothing options for 2023.</p><hr><p><em><strong>About the Expert</strong>: I’ve spent most of my life hiking, kayaking, camping, and exploring the great outdoors. For more than a decade, I’ve traveled the world, including all seven continents, and covered outdoor and adventure travel, sharing my advice on Forbes, Travel + Leisure, CNET, and National Geographic. These days, I personally evaluate outdoor gear (like the best UPF clothing) and tech gadgets for Men’s Health from my home base south of Boston. So, you might say I’m a little gear-obsessed.</em></p>” />
