2011 Coolibar Mentions by Date
Motor Boating Magazine - July/August 2011
Gear: Sun Protection
"Sunburn sucks…every boater has suffered through at least one nasty sunburn…one way to cover up is with Coolibar’s short-sleeve water jacket."
Redbook - July 2011
Keep the People you Love Safe in the Sun
"Clothing with a UPF less than 30, like a white T-shirt, does not provide enough protection to prevent skin damage...look for shirts with UPF of 30 or more…such as shirts by Coolibar."
Good Day New York - TV - July 13, 2011
Camping with Style!
Features director Meaghan Murphy of Self Magazine talks about camping gear. "This stuff is going to make you a happy camper. Because roughing it shouldn't be rough. This shirt from Coolibar has zinc oxide woven into the fibers. You're going to have sun protection and you're going to stay cool because it's sweat wicking."
Star Tribune - July 10, 2011
Looking to the Sun for a Business Idea
"Coolibar, which manufacturers sun-protective clothing, find itself up against a fashion industry that loves to flash skin. Its message resonates with dermatologists: Cover up and protect yourself."
Windy City Live - TV - July 6, 2011
Beat the Heat Fashion: Look Hot, Stay Cool!
Style expert and author, Amy Tara Koch, shows us how to look hot, while staying cool."Comfortable and super stylish, an easy, lightweight LWD is layered with eye catching accessories. - Coolibar Shapeable Poolside Sun Hat with SPF"
American Baby - June 2011
Water for Infants
"Seaworthy swag, these amphibious accessories make major waves…Coolibar Swim Romper keeps baby UV protected."
Fox Lifestyle Magazine - June 29, 2011
Clothes That Can Help Prevent Skin Cancer
"...the latest trend in summer style is sun-protective clothing. Here are some of our favorites! Coolibar sun hats, protective clothing and swimwear use superbly protective, high-tech fabrics to deliver no less than 50 UPF and 98 percent blockage. Yet they keep you cool, comfortable and fashionable."
CNN.com - June 17, 2011
Sun-blocking styles: A healthy new fashion trend
"Instead of slathering on baby oil and baking in the sun until turning red as a tomato, more beachgoers are donning wide-brimmed hats, flowing tunics and hiding from ultraviolet rays under large umbrellas...Modeled after popular Australian skin-protective clothing, all Coolibar products have a UPF value of 50-plus that is guaranteed to last the life of the garment. Unlike some companies, Coolibar doesn't sell products like bikinis that expose a large portion of the body to sun."
LA Times - June 6, 2011
Clothing that Protects Against UV Rays
"Sun-protective clothing offers some obvious advantages over sunscreen… UV blockers are an essential ingredient in Coolibar garments."
Justine Magazine - April/May 2011
Just Fit; Sunblocking Styles
"…we still manage to get a wicked sunburn at least once each summer. When that happens and we still want to head outdoors, we turn to the lifesaver clothing label, Coolibar."
