I did a research paper a couple of semesters ago for college and found that skin cancer is an occupational hazard in the aviation industry, with studies finding that “pilots have 25 times higher rates of skin cancer”, often occurring on their forearms.
Does anyone know if there are airline companies out there who provide uniforms with UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor)? I know clothing companies like REI, Columbia, and North Face have long sleeve shirts for backpacking and hiking. I was hoping that Van Heusen might have caught on by now.
