The Sun Protection That Kids Want to Wear
Getting and keeping bottled sunscreens on kids is no easy task. Sunscreens are only effective if they are applied thickly enough with full coverage on all exposed areas of the skin and then re-applied regularly.
The oiliness and acidity variations over the skin, the body’s largest organ can disrupt an even coverage of sunscreen. This factor combined with the fact that sunscreen can be washed, wiped or sweated off make bottled sunscreen a less reliable but still important tool in the overall sun protection bag of strategies to protect your family from the sun’s Ultra Violet radiation.
We would like to introduce you to our SPF 100+ sun shirts, sun suits, sun shorts, leggings, beach shoes, stinger suits, beach bags and unique range of legionnaire hats and caps.
The bright colours and surf like look of the garment appeals to kids as they look jazzy and like a surfer. For the parent, they love the fact that the Radicool sun shirts and sun suits provide complete protection from the sun and that bottled sunscreens need only be applied to exposed skin areas.
Eighty percent of sun damage occurs during the childhood years and the skin damage from the UV radiation absorbed is cumulative. It is critically important that appropriate sun care practices be adopted to prevent the risk of skin cancer.
Of course the other obvious benefit for which your children will forever thank you is that skin damage caused by UV will be minimised by wearing our SPF 100+ shirts, suits, shorts and hats.
Almost all of our shirts have their main seams flat-stitched with a six needle machine which gives the seam an incredible strength as well as looks.
All our fabric is tested to achieve an SPF/UPF 100+ prior to us receiving it and all is made especially to our specifications.
Pediatricians and Dermatologists strongly recommend wearing protective clothing. Be careful though as a cotton T shirt can have an SPF factor as low as 5 and will lose almost 60% of its screening ability when wet. Our Sun Protection shirts, sun shorts, sun suits and sun protection legionnaire hats will completely protect your family.
The Radicool lycra legionnaire hats have an elasticised band at the back of the hat that will adjust to the size of the wearers head. The flap will cover the wearers’ ears and the back and side of the neck. The hat itself has a comfortable headband inside and a plastic stiffener in the peak and is designed to be used in and out of the water. It will not deteriorate with use in the water.
Radicool sun protection swimwear far exceeds the standards set by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency and the British Standard for Ultraviolet Radiation and has the highest SPF factor worldwide.
The convenience and knowledge that your family is totally protected under the sun allows you to relax and enjoy the limited recreational time you have and not worry about sunburn and skin damage later on.
