(Headquarters: Ebina City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Shinji Nikko) will release "[UV] UV Cut" from the "ASTIGU" plain stocking line, which allows for UV protection simply by wearing them, starting with an advance sale at the Atsugi Online Shop on July 3 (Fri).

No Reapplication Needed! Easy UV Care Just by Wearing

As the heat arrives, the importance of UV protection increases. However, there are many concerns regarding UV protection for the legs, such as "It's troublesome to apply sunscreen to a wide area of the legs" and "I dislike the sticky feeling of sunscreen."

Focusing on the need for "wanting to protect legs from UV rays but minimizing the effort," we are releasing "Astigu [UV]" from Astigu plain stockings, which allows for easy UV protection simply by wearing them. Astigu [UV] achieves a high UV cut rate of over 90% and UPF25, reducing UV rays that cause sunburn. The UV cut effect lasts while worn, making it a recommended item for those who find it difficult to reapply sunscreen while out or are concerned about uneven application.

The Secret to High UV Cut Rate is Special Nylon Yarn

The feature of Astigu [UV] lies in its yarn, which has the characteristic of absorbing UV rays.

When cutting UV rays with conventional stockings, there was a challenge in that they tend to reflect a wide range of light, including UV rays, which can impair the transparency of the fabric.

However, Astigu [UV] uses a special nylon yarn that absorbs only UV rays and transmits other light. By using yarn that absorbs UV rays and reduces their reach to the skin, we have achieved both UV cut effect and transparency. A UV protection treatment is further applied to the fabric knitted with this yarn. Through the double UV protection of the yarn and post-processing, we have achieved a high UV cut rate of over 90% and UPF25 even with light-colored fabric that blends well with the skin.
