WRONG, sun protective clothing is not like norm clothing 
Clothes of course can protect your skin against the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. But norm clothing is not fully protecting you from sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. So, the statement you might heard about all clothing created equal is totally wrong.
All sun protective clothing is different than norm clothes. The tightness of the weave, the weight, type of fiber, color and amount of skin covered all affect the amount of protection they provide are different than normal clothes.
UPF in sun protecting clothing is that make it totally different than any norm clothes. UPF indicates how much of the sun’s UV radiation is absorbed. For example, a fabric with a rating of 50 will allow only 1/50th of the sun’s UV rays to pass through. This means the fabric will reduce your skin’s UV radiation exposure significantly, because only 2 percent of the UV rays will get through.
