The fabric is treated to block a significant portion of harmful UVA and UVB rays. However, it is recommended to use sunscreen on any exposed skin, as the jacket only protects the areas it covers.

How do I transport the jacket when it's packed?

Troubleshooting
Jacket does not feel fully waterproof
The jacket is designed to be water-repellent, not fully waterproof. It is suitable for light rain or drizzle. For heavy downpours, a fully waterproof jacket is recommended.
Difficulty packing the jacket into its pocket
Ensure the jacket is laid flat and all air is pressed out before folding it into the designated internal pocket. Refer to the care instructions or product images for correct folding technique.
Reduced water repellency over time
Water repellency can diminish with wear and washing. Consider using a technical fabric re-proofer spray designed for athletic wear to restore its water-resistant properties. Follow the product's care instructions carefully.
