SPF refers to the sun protection performance of the tent material, i.e. the ability to block UV rays. Similar to the SPF of sunscreens, the SPF of tents is measured by a standard called UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor). The higher the UPF value, the stronger the sun protection performance of the tent material.
