UPF 50
Clothing can protect you from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. It all depends on the fiber content, weave, weight of fabric and color.
So what’s the difference between UPF and SPF?
SPF stands for the Sun Protection Factor, most commonly associated with sunscreen. This measures the amount of time it takes for skin to burn.
UPF on the other hand stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, which is a measure of the amount of UV radiation that penetrates a fabric and reaches your skin. For example, a fabric rated with a UPF of 50 will allow only 1/50th of the sun’s UV rays to pass through. So the fabric would significantly reduce your exposure to UV rays, (where it covers your body)!
Dark colors and tight weaves will have higher UPF ratings. As well, nylons and polyesters are better than plain cotton because they reflect radiation.
Ellipse Sport Tank reviewed by Luanne Freer
This morning I ran in a 10K race in Bozeman Montana to support a great cause – a group of local philanthropists trying to fund their project to supply water and food to Ethiopian orphans. (www.scrambleforethiopia.com
…well, actually, it has been said that I am built for comfort, not for speed. And if I’m brutally honest I would have to admit that in past races I have been known to draft behind the aged and infirm….and okay, I’ve heard “atta boys” from the sweep crew on more than one occasion… and if I were any kind of grazing animal in a herd of thousands, I would be most likely to end up as dinner for a family of the slowest carnivores on the Serengeti plains. Reality check: I’m slow.
So, okay, no clothing, no matter how sleek or comfortable is going to get me a ribbon in the race. But Marmot’s Ellipse Sport Tank at least made me look like I coulda been a contender. I’m good with that.

I love this tank. From the moment this top arrived I have been living in it. I wear it for training, running errands, walking my dogs and lounging around the house. I don't even remember what I wore before this top arrived. Thank you Marmot for making the perfect tank for active women.
