As a truck driver, you know the importance of staying safe on long trips. But have you considered the dangers of excessive exposure to the sun's ultraviolet A (UV-A) rays? These harmful rays can lead to skin cancer and cataracts, impacting your long-term health and well-being.

Recent studies have shown that the front windshield of your truck blocks 96% of UV-A rays, while the side windows only block 71%. That means if you're sitting on the driver's side, you're exposed to 25% more UV-A rays than if you were sitting only in front of the windshield. This increased exposure can heighten your risk of getting cataracts in your left eye or skin cancer on the left side of your face.

Car manufacturers are encouraged to make side windows block more UV-A rays to stay protected. However, to ensure maximum protection, it's still essential to use car window sunshades on the side windows all year round, particularly from the end of winter through to the end of autumn. Remember, UV-A rays aren't blocked by clouds or rain, so you must protect yourself even on cloudy days.

Our Qualizzi Car Window Screens made of black elastic mesh can significantly reduce UVA radiation reaching the driver. They block up to 95% of UVA and UVB rays without permanently modifying your truck's windows. They're easy to install and remove, providing protection from other types of light, including visible light that causes glare and discomfort while driving.

Compared to tinted windows, our mesh sunshades offer several advantages. Tinted windows' level of protection can vary depending on the type and quality of the tinting. Some tints may only block a small amount of UVA, while others may block a significant portion. Some states have laws regulating the amount of tint that can be applied to car windows, which can limit the level of protection offered by tinting.

In conclusion, as a truck driver, it's crucial to protect yourself from excessive exposure to the sun's UV-A rays. Using Qualizzi Car Window Screens made of black elastic mesh is an effective and easy way to reduce UVA radiation that reaches the person sitting in the back seat.
