Summer has arrived, and we are all looking forward to getting to the water. It’s time to break out the swimwear – swimsuits. For most of us it means buying new. Our kids grow way to fast. As we are on the hurt for the right swim suit let’s not forget to protect ourselves as well as our loved one’s from the suns harmful rays. With the line of UV Swimwear- Swimsuits offered now we all can be in style, look great and be protected from the sun and have a great time doing it. Isn’t life wonderful!.

Finding and getting your kids to wear sun protective gear can be a challenge. Kids have got to look COOL, we remember when. We offer COOL! We offer style and comfort and a swim suit that feels great and offers greater protection to your skin than the regular swimwear. Then the UV swim suit is just what you been looking for.

There are large lines of Boys and Girls 2 piece swimsuits that are in-style fashion and comfortable,  as well as a line of accessories such as hats, umbrellas, necklaces, sun glasses, water shoes, sun screen, shorts and snorkeling gear. All with the highest rated protection you can buy.

And for your peace of mind always chose swimwear and other products that are rated 50+ UPF Protection for the possible protection. And for you convenience I have listed below the difference in the rating systems.

One big advantage of the UPF (Ultraviolet Protection) is that both UVB Rays and UVA Rays are measured.  UVB meaning ultraviolet-B and UVA meaning ultraviolet-A. Which can only give our skin the best protection possible, since both these type rays can harm the skin.

SPF Rating System

SPF (sun protection factor) are done on human subjects. SPF, is a gauge of how much time a person can be exposed to the sun before getting burned. For example, if you burn in 10 minutes without sunscreen and you apply a liberal dose of sunscreen with a SPF number of 15, you should be protected from a sunburn for 150 minutes. Although sunscreens with identical SPF numbers give you equivalent sunburn protection from UVB rays, no sunscreen product screens out all UVA rays. Some may advertise UVA protection, but the current SPF standard does not measure the amount of UVA protection. The SPF Rating System just doesn’t give you the amount of protection needed.

Although experts still believe that UVB is responsible for much of the skin damage caused by sunlight –especially sunburn– UVA may be an important factor in other types of sun damage, including premature aging and wrinkles. And the latest studies show that UVA not only increases UVB ’s cancer-causing effects, but may directly cause some skin cancers, including melanomas.

UPF Rating System

UPF (Ultraviolet Protection)  Factor of materials are generally tested by spectrophotometer equipment and are not tested using human subjects. The UPF rate indicates how much of the sun’s UV radiation is absorbed by the fabric. For example, a fabric with a UPF rating of 50 only allows 1/50th of the sun’s UV radiation to pass through it. This means that this fabric will reduce your skin’s UV radiation exposure by 50 times (98% UV block) in areas where  the skin is protected by the fabric.

Also check out the Boys and Girls T-Shirt and shorts. All made out of the same 50+ UPF protection

And don’t forget the Rash Guard Swim Shirts and Shorts as they are a great addition for even greater protection from the sun. The rash guard was originally developed for surfers who were getting rashes from the wax on their surf boards. The wax would hold sand from the beach and then they would be rubbing their torsos on the wax as they paddled out to the break. Rash guards are now manufactured from fabrics that hold high UPF factors at 50+ UPF. This is the best protection that you can get from the Sun’s damaging rays, short of staying inside. The primary benefit of the shirt is that there are no “missed spots” as with sun screen lotion.

The rash guards are also fast drying, so they are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time. Once a child starts to wear one at the beach, it just becomes second nature. Making your job as parents much easier and giving you the confidence that your child is well  protected. Rash Guard is made stylish for both Boy’s and Girl’s.

The UV swim suits worn in combination with a UV protective hat that covers the head and neck, while also shading the face, and you have the best protection possible. As parents we are all about keeping our Kids happy and safe.

The UV protective hats are made from the same material as UV protective swimwear and consequently offer a 50+ UPF protection. These  UV protective hats come in two great and cool styles: bucket and legionnaire and both provide great protection from the sun for one’s face, head, neck and ears. Offered both in stylish Boys and Girls hats.
