The truth about the miraculous effects of anti-UV clothing
(Baonghean.vn) - The demand for UV protection clothing among women is increasing, making the market in Vinh City extremely vibrant. However, quality control is still lacking.
At some stores on Nguyen Van Cu Street, Vinh City, there are quite a lot of people buying UV protection shirts, most of them are women. Many people buy for themselves and also buy more for their family members. According to a store owner, at this time, the store sells 3 times more UV protection products than at the beginning of summer.

| Although the price is quite expensive, many women in Vinh City do not hesitate to spend money to buy some anti-UV products for use. |
The prices of UV protection shirts are quite high, 3, 4 times more expensive, some products are even 10 times more expensive than normal sun protection shirts. Adidad's UV protection shirts cost over 1,500,000 VND/piece. Uniqlo's shirts cost 460,000 - 650,000 VND/piece. Meanwhile, ordinary sun protection shirts sold in markets made of raw fabric, linen, cotton cost between 90,000 - 210,000 VND.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thu Trang - Tan Quang Block, Le Mao Ward shared: Hearing people introduce UV-protective shirts that can prevent all harmful effects from sunlight and protect the skin, I bought a Uniqlo product for nearly 500,000 VND. However, the quality of the shirt and whether it can really protect against UV rays is not yet confirmed.

| In the hot weather, stores selling anti-UV dresses and shirts import large quantities of goods to serve consumers. |
According to some people, they buy shirts based on the recommendation and advertisement of the seller and buy according to the crowd psychology. Seeing their friends buy them, they also buy them to use, but they are not sure whether the shirt can actually protect against ultraviolet rays or not.
On the outside, the UV protection shirt has the same color and design as a long-sleeved cotton T-shirt that women often wear when the weather changes from Summer to Autumn. The shirt has a hood and a zipper for the user's convenience, and the color is elegant, suitable for all ages of customers.

| Anti-UV heat shirt has the advantage of good elasticity, light, thin fabric, easy to absorb sweat, feels cool when worn, not stuffy like other types of sun protection shirt. |
Although UV protection clothing is sold in large quantities on the market, through our observations, most of the products do not have Vietnamese sub-labels and do not comply with the price listing regulations. Most of the products are imported to Vietnam in the form of "hand-carried goods" without valid invoices and documents.
Currently, the management of this item is still not strict. Discussing this issue, Mr. Nguyen Van Thang - Deputy Head of Nghe An Market Management Department said: Market management forces only conduct inspections when receiving complaints from customers. To avoid losing money, consumers should not listen to unfounded advertisements from sellers, and should not buy and use products of unknown origin. For items with too high prices, it is necessary to consider before buying. If there are signs of violations, it is necessary to immediately report to the authorities for timely handling.
According to the representative of the Institute of Biotechnology and Food Technology of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, the anti-UV ingredients as advertised by the seller are just a trick of the business world to attract customers. In principle, anything that blocks light has the ability to block UV rays. Therefore, regular shirts with long sleeves and thick fabric can block UV rays. To avoid wasting money, women do not necessarily need to buy expensive sun-protective shirts as advertised by the seller. |
