More about Omni-Shade™ technology

Omni-Shade™ technology blocks most of the harmful UV radiation, allowing you to enjoy your time in the sun for longer. Omni-Shade™ protects against sunburn and helps prevent skin damage caused by the negative effects of the sun's rays. Unlike most sunscreens, Omni-Shade™ technology protects not only against UVA radiation, but also against the much more harmful UVB radiation. Similar to sunscreens, Omni-Shade™ has a numerical indication of the level of the filter. Unlike creams, the sun protection does not expire. Omni-Shade™ has several levels of sun protection: SPF 15, SPF 30, SPF 40, SPF 50+. This technology is like a sunscreen that you do not have to reapply.

Omni-Shade™ Columbia Sportswear garments protect against harmful radiation by blocking the sun's dangerous rays so you can spend more time outdoors. Omni-Shade™ blocks ultraviolet A and B rays (UVA and UVB), helping to prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage through dense weave construction, UV reflectors and UV absorbing technology.

This is not the case with SPF (Sun Protection Factor), a measure of the reduction in sunburn due to the use of a filter, which does not indicate any protection against UVB rays. UVB rays are much more harmful than UVA rays and reach us even on cloudy days. Omni-Shade™ technology provides protection against both UVB and UVA rays. Like a filter, Omni-Shade™ technology has a specific number indicating the level of sun protection. Unlike a filter, Omni-Shade™ technology does not wear out. The level of safety increases with a higher Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF), and there are several levels of Omni-Shade protection: UPF 15, UPF 30, UPF 40 and UPF 50+. It is similar to sunscreen, but you do not have to reapply it.

All Omni-Shade™ fabrics are recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation for sun protection with a minimum UPF of 30. Learn more about the Skin Cancer Foundation here: http://www.skincancer.org/
