UV Protection: Many of us ignore that, even in the shade, we are exposed to UV rays which are harmful to our skin. This is why it is particularly important to Sattler that our fabrics undergo the most rigorous tests for UV protection. Our fabrics are tested according to the UV Standard 801. This testing method not only considers the fabrics when new, but also how the fabric behaves under different weather conditions. This means the fabrics are exposed to extreme conditions (e. g. extreme exposure to the sun and weather). This helps to determine if the fabric keeps its durability promise over the years.
