Sun Protection While Soaring - UPF 50+ Clothing
Can anybody challenge David's claim here?
See the posts above by:
who measured the reduction with a meter
David Hurst who analyzed a transmission curve
Bret (me), who posted transmission curves
Plexiglass blocks UVB and most of UVA. David said only 17% of UVA is transmitted by 2mm plexiglass. My canopy is 4mm thick, twice as thick, and the transmission dies off exponentially with thickness so roughly (0.17)^2 = ..03 = 3% of UVA is transmitted, which matches what measured: very little is transmitted.
