COOLIBAR

Sun Protective Clothing

Coolibar is the world leader in UPF 50+ fabric technology and the first clothing company to receive the Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation for safe and effective sun protection.

I'm always on the lookout for stylish ways to protect my skin. I’ve tried a lot of different options, but I come back again and again to Coolibar, a brand that has been providing the most technically advanced and elegant sun protective clothing for over 20 years.

Coolibar has options for the whole family, including kids

Coolibar's range of clothing and accessories includes chic activewear and swimwear

Coolibar's innovative fabrics are designed to provide effective UV protection for covered areas. They don't just slap on a UPF rating and call it a day. Oh no, they put their fabrics through a series of standardized tests that account for factors like fabric weave, shrinkage, stretching, coatings, chlorine, salt-water, laundry detergent, and even color changes. Coolibar’s products are backed by rigorous testing and dermatologist recommendations (including The Skin Cancer Foundation), and their sun-safe styles are designed to offer year-round UV protection.

Coolibar's testing protocol includes multiple standardized tests, accounting for factors that can affect a fabric's UPF rating during normal wear and washing.

Now, as someone who enjoys a good laugh, I can't help but find it amusing that Coolibar was started in Minnesota. I mean, who would've thought that a state known for ice fishing and snowball fights would create sun-safe styles perfect for the Hawaiian sunshine? But hey, sun protection is important everywhere the sun shines, and I'm grateful for Coolibar's commitment to keeping us all stylish and protected, no matter where we live.

Coolibar is a great option for those looking to stay stylish and protected in the Hawaiian sunshine.

If you're looking to elevate your sun protection game, I wholeheartedly recommend giving Coolibar a try.

Stay sun-safe and stylish, Hawai'i!
