Desertweave® technical nylon and polyester fabrics are tough, packable, compressible and light in weight. For life on the road, crease-resistance and easy care (non-iron) performance are essential. Desertweave® is ultra quick-drying, with durable wicking or water resistant treatments depending on end usage.
Ultraviolet
Protection Factor
UPF sun-protection ratings are incorporated as standard across the range.
Desertweave®'s close-woven construction gives protection against the
sun's ultraviolet radiation, so the UPF rating helps consumers to make
an informed choice.
We use fabric UPF sun-protection factors as defined by the established Australian ratings system:
| 15-24 |
Good (93.3% to 95.9% UV radiation blocked) |
|
|
||
| 25-39 | Very
Good (96.0% to 97.4% UV radiation blocked) |
|
|

| 40 and over | Excellent (97.5%+ UV radiation blocked) |
