The present invention relates to UV protective fabrics, wherein these fabrics are made from UV-protected cellulosic fibers, i.e. manufactured by a modal or lyocell process. In addition to the permanent and inherent protection of the specified textile material and thus the fabric's UV radiation, UV protection is ensured even when the fabric is wet and stretched. As a result of the swelling of the fibers, the structure of the fabric becomes denser, and as a direct result, UV transmission is greatly reduced compared to the dry, stretched state. Fracture toughness evaluated according to BISFA, incorporating 0.1-1.5% (weight / weight) of nanoscale TiO2 pigment having a particle distribution characterized by x50 of less than 1000 nm and x99 of less than 2000 nm Is a UV protective fabric comprising artificial cellulosic fibers that are at least 30 cN / tex in the adjusted state and at least 18 cN / tex in the wet state, and the mass per unit area is 120 to 270 g / m 2.
