How does Coolibar compare with Solumbra/Sun Precautions?

Coolibar offers Greater Sun Protection than Solumbra/Sun Precautions

At Coolibar, we test and individually label each sun protective clothing item with an ultraviolet protection factor ("UPF"). We specifically label each garment as UPF 50+ (the highest rating label permitted).

And our UV testing is comprehensive. For example, unlike SPF ratings which only examine UVB protection levels, our UPF ratings test for both UVA and UVB. We also test our fabrics at both the beginning and end of their life cycle so you can be quite sure our sun protection won't wash out or fade away.

Coolibar uses a Range of Different Fabrics
We select a specific fabric for each garment, according to how the garment will be used.  For example,
  • some blouses and sun protection shirts use a tightly woven nylon microfiber with enhanced titanium dioxide - an ultraviolet diffuser - often combined with CoolMax mesh for light weight, ventilation and protection;

  • other sunblock clothing uses an ultrasoft, woven polyester that keeps you cool and dry all day long - and looks luxurious;

  • our polos use a customized cotton knit plaited with a CoolMax interior for appearance, moisture management and protection;

  • our pants are made from a moisture-wicking, quick-drying nylon blend poplin;

  • our gloves and driving sleeves use a polyester microfiber mesh knit that stretches, breathes and is extremely durable;
  • our exceptionally durable, comfortable sun protective swimwear uses a knitted polyester fabric without Lycra which protects, hold its shape and has excellent chlorine resistance.
