UPF 50+ Scarf: Merlot Sparkle + Blue, Stylish UV Neck Coverage From Sun

Introducing the Sun Scarf: a gender-neutral, fashionable alternative to the conventional neck gaiter.

Designed with an artful fusion of style and sun-guarding innovation, this accessory redefines sun protection for your neck and chest.

With two layers of designer UPF fabric, this sun protective scarf pairs a fun, subtle gold design over shimmering burgundy fabric with a classic true navy blue color on the reverse.

The meticulously hand pleated center panels add an exquisite touch to this SPF scarf and will protect the skin on your neck and décolletage from premature aging due to sun damage. This SPF scarf will stylishly complement your outfit and make a resounding fashion statement.

This UV scarf is long enough to wear as a wrap to sun protect your shoulders, too!

• UPF50+ and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified fabric for healthy skin: Blocks over 98% of UVA and UVB rays without harmful chemicals to protect your skin from sunburn, premature aging, and reduces the risk of skin cancer.

• Permanent SPF Protection: Permanent TiO2 sun protection woven into luxurious fabric won't wash out in laundry and protects your skin until fabric wears thin.

• Won't Mess Your Hair or Makeup Like Neck Gaiters: You (and your hairstyle!) will look amazing wearing this scarf to protect your skin for any occasion, through all seasons.

• Skip The Sunscreen Hassle: Faster to put on than messy sunscreen, saving time and money.
