Why Sun Protection Isn’t Optional Anymore
Imagine a Saturday morning: your child’s soccer game, a jog along the waterfront, brunch on a sun-drenched patio. You pack sunscreen, throw on sunglasses, and think you’re covered. But what if your clothes could do more than just look good—what if they could protect your skin all day?
That’s the quiet revolution Coolibar has started.
What Is Coolibar? More Than Just Clothes
Coolibar isn’t just a clothing brand—it’s a sun safety movement. Since 2001, they’ve been creating stylish, comfortable garments that offer UPF 50+ sun protection that never washes out. Their fabrics are tested, recommended by dermatologists, and certified by The Skin Cancer Foundation.
It’s not about fashion or function. It’s about both.
The Science of Built-In Sun Protection
Coolibar integrates UV-blocking minerals like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide directly into their fabric blends. This isn’t surface-level spray or post-production treatment—this is baked into the yarns.
These innovative textiles block 98% of UVA and UVB rays, and are lab-tested to withstand:
- Repeated wash cycles
- Chlorine and saltwater exposure
- Intense sun conditions
Which means: real-life wear, real-life durability.
Signature Fabrics Designed for Every Lifestyle
Coolibar doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Different activities require different tech. Their fabrics are purpose-built for how you live:
• ZnO™ – Soft as cotton, made for everyday wear. Think lounging, errand-running, or reading on your deck.
• Aqua Classic™ – Lightweight and chlorine-resistant for beach days, swimming laps, or kayaking.
• 3Ddri™ – Perfect for travel; wrinkle-resistant, breathable, and moisture-wicking.
• Active Athlon™ – Designed for performance: biking, tennis, trail running, or bootcamps in the park.
Real People, Real Benefits
Sarah (mother of two) says her favorite Coolibar swim leggings saved her vacation in Hawaii: “I didn’t reapply sunscreen every 90 minutes. I could focus on enjoying my kids.”
Jake (triathlete) wears the Active Long Sleeve T-shirt during races: “It doesn’t weigh me down, and it keeps me cool in 90°F heat.”
This isn’t just theory—it’s field-tested protection.
A Collection for Every Moment
Coolibar offers thoughtfully crafted pieces for every part of your day:
- Workwear: From button-downs to polished tunics—shield yourself during commutes or lunchtime walks.
- Weekend gear: Lounge pants, hoodies, sun dresses, and polos that move with you.
- Swimwear: Rash guards, swim tights, and cover-ups that dry fast and offer peak sun protection.
- Accessories: Wide-brimmed hats, gloves, scarves—even sun-protective baby gear.
Travel Light. Stay Covered.
Packing smart doesn’t mean sacrificing style. Coolibar‘s travel-friendly fabrics resist wrinkles, breathe well, and fold compactly. You’ll find travel dresses that go from day hikes to sunset dinners. Plus: no more lugging around massive sunscreen bottles.
Fashion That Doesn’t Compromise
One of the reasons people avoid UV-protective gear? It used to scream “medical necessity.”
Not anymore.
Coolibar works with designers to ensure their pieces are flattering, on-trend, and wearable. Whether it’s breezy wrap dresses, clean-cut joggers, or minimalist swim sets, they strike a balance between form and function.
Not Just for Adults
Kids’ skin is even more vulnerable to sun damage—and let’s face it, they hate sunscreen reapplications. Coolibar makes it easy for parents with:
- Playground-proof hoodies and pants
- One-piece swimsuits and sun hats
- UPF 50+ baby blankets and rompers
Let them run wild, while you worry less.
Eco-Conscious and Skin-Smart
Coolibar designs are built to last, reducing fast-fashion waste. And because their protection is permanent, you’re avoiding the environmental toll of disposable sunscreens washing into oceans and waterways.
Better for your skin. Better for the planet.
Dermatologist-Recommended and Award-Winning
When the Skin Cancer Foundation gives a seal of recommendation, it means trust. Coolibar has earned that—not once, but across multiple categories of clothing.
It’s why dermatologists often suggest it for patients with:
- Melasma
- Lupus
- Photosensitivity
- History of skin cancer
Protection that looks like confidence—not compromise.
Everyday Sun Protection, Elevated
Sun protection should be part of your lifestyle, not an afterthought. Coolibar helps you build that into what you wear—whether you’re hitting the trails, commuting to work, or grabbing an iced coffee.
Because the best kind of protection is the kind you actually wear.
Ready to Rethink Your Wardrobe?
Sun safety is no longer a chore. With Coolibar, it’s a part of your personal style—clean lines, high-tech fabrics, and all-day comfort baked in.
So next time you reach for your go-to tee or swimsuit, ask yourself: does it protect you?
And if not, it’s time for something smarter. Something sun-smart.
Something like Coolibar.
