I'm not a scientist, but I think what they are saying is that if you wear one of their shirts—say during a day spent at the beach—you can stay out in the sun for a much longer time without getting burned than if you went bare chested. Further, it seems that if a bug takes sight of you and tries to alight on your skin, the cloth of the shirt will act as some sort of barrier and prevent the insect from actually getting to your skin.
Astounding!
I'm going to go out on a limb here, but the more I think about this, I'm beginning to believe that a wide brimmed hat just might keep your face from getting sunburned.

With the collapse of our lending system and the knowledge that some AIG traders are receiving million dollar bonuses for essentially engineering this catastrophe, we find our government trying to regulate and legislate against Wall Street greed. Obama and others are talking seriously about restricting pay for corporate executives.
Why is the government trying to reign in greed? Because the United States, as a whole, has turned its back on its commitment to Christian morality. The Bible speaks directly to this in Romans 13:1-3:
Everyone must submit himself to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, he who rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and he will commend you.
