VanCityI looked on ExOfficio's site and at Backcountry.com, nothing in those two places mentions a UPF rating. Just looks like a very expensive long-sleeve that essentially is impregnated with permathrin. I'll pass.

VanCityThese don't have a UPF rating, as that test costs money and manufacturers are selective about how much to invest in a rating like that. Polyester naturally blocks most UV rays and, while it depends on the specific product, it generally has a UPF rating of 25-39.

@m0arpheus - The process to industrially apply permathrin (in this case Insect Shield) is expensive.
