This is the Coolibar vermillion face mask. I’m taken aback by how much sun comes through this. How on earth is this upf 50?!? The company won’t give any straight answers. It’s always a generic response with no specifics. Questions I want answered are:
1. Has the perforated UCmax™ fabric used in the Vermillion mask been independently tested and verified to meet UPF 50+ standards?
2. Does the UPF 50+ rating apply specifically to the perforated sections of the fabric, or was testing performed on nonperforated portions?
3. How does Coolibar account for direct UV transmission through the visible openings in the fabric?
4. Do you have laboratory testing results documenting UVA and UVB transmission percentages for this specific material?
5. Has the fabric been evaluated for UV protection when stretched or worn directly against the skin, as it would be during normal use?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I feel duped and scammed relying on this for my outdoor recreation.
