Sun-Protective Clothing by Coolibar
According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, a person¹s risk for melanoma doubles after five or more sunburns, making skin protection a priority for families preparing to hit sunny destinations this spring break. It can be overwhelming getting everyone packed and ready, and bringing along sun protection is often overlooked. Coolibar , makers of sun-protective clothing for the whole family that looks good, wears well and lasts a lifetime.
In 2014, the acting Surgeon General issued a ³Call to Action to Prevent Skin Cancer² because skin cancer rates continue to increase, even though most cases of skin cancer are preventable. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends sun protective clothing as the first line of defense , and Coolibar is the first sun protective clothing line to receive the SCF¹s Seal of Recommendation.
For the review I received the ZnO Sun Wrap that can be worn as a beach cover-up or as a cardigan. This wonderful wrap is available in 11 different colors, including some of your basic neutral tones. Available in sizes X-small through 3X. Rated UPF 50+
The fabrication is fantastic! It is light-weight but yet, not flimsy at all. It is made out of breathable ZnO SUNTECT cotton/viscose from bamboo/spandex blend. It measures 29″ long so you get plenty of body coverage and I love the open front. There are not buttons or zippers to fumble with and it has a stylish shawl collar. Besides the design of this cover-up I appreciate that it’s machine wash and tumble dry on low.
Right now it is still too cold here for mom & I to go outside and model this for ya with our bathing suits so instead my mother is modeling it styled as a cardigan over her short-sleeved top. As I previously stated, you can wear it as a bathing suit cover-up or wear it as a stylish cardigan or jacket. One piece of advice, you will want to order it true-to-size. This one fits my mother a little big because she is one size smaller than me…it fits me perfectly!
You all know I share a ton of vacation photos with all of you on our blog & on Facebook so I guarantee you that you will see me wearing this once we hit the beach house in May. I love how this cover-up just drapes across the body and gives you plenty of coverage but yet…is breathable! This summer I will be wearing it as a bathing suit cover-up and also as a light-weight summer jacket/cardigan. Just gorgeous!
