Did you know that Skin Cancer is the most common form of cancer in the US?! 90% of the one million cases diagnosed annually are caused by the sun's harmful rays! As summer kicks off and we are spending more and more time outdoors, it's more important than ever that we protect the skin of ourselves and our children by covering up. Thankfully, Sun Protection Zone is there to help!

Sun Protection Zone provides a full line of UV sun protection apparel woven with proprietary fiber and rated with the textile equivalent of 100 SPF/UPF 50+ sunscreen rating! Whether you're looking for something for yourself or your children...their large selection of sun protection clothing has something for everyone.

Growing up I didn't think much about spending time in the sun without some sort of sunblock or sun protection. It wasn't until I became more educated on the issue and had children of my own that it became a priority of mine to keep my family's skin safe from the sun's harmful rays. That's why I was very excited when contacted by Sun Protection Zone to review their children's UV protection clothing.

We were sent the Blue and Black SunSkinz Long Sleeve Suit for Kaden and the Pink Hibiscus SunSkinz Short Sleeve Shirt for Kaelyn.



When the items arrived, I was very impressed with the quality. I could tell that the proprietary high-density yarn that they are made with will allow for us to get many uses of this sun protection clothing over the years.

When I got the kids in each piece, I was very happy with the four way stretch fabric. It made the fit perfect and also seems very comfortable for them to wear. I was a little concerned that Kaden's would be way too big, as the smallest size they have is 1T. I was happy to see that it fit him perfectly though. I love the one-piece suit we were sent for him. It covers a lot of the exposed skin and is very easy for him to move around in.

One of my favorite features of the suit is that there's actually diaper snaps to make changing diapers easy! What a great feature to have on their size 1 and 2 products!

Kaelyn's shirt is absolutely adorable. I love the different patterns offered and am so happy with the pink hibiscus. She actually wears it when we play outside a lot, and it goes well with many shorts she owns. The fact that it's a bit longer and has a high neck is great! This ensures that it will not ride up and will also protect the sensitive skin on her neck.

Overall, I am very happy with each piece we received. They're fantastic quality, comfortable for the kids to wear and adorable. It feels great knowing that my kids' skin is protected when wearing their SunSkinz clothing! It's truly sun protection that doesn't wash off.

Other important features:
  • Fabric dries quickly
  • Stands up well to chlorine and salt water
  • Machine washable on delicate cycle
I would highly recommend others take a look at Sun Protection Zone and their array of great sun protection clothing for the whole family.
