Why Sun-Protective Clothing as a Gift

What's better than giving your loved ones the gift of sun protection? Your gift will keep them protected from UVA and UVB rays which cause skin aging and skin cancer. Plus, UPF clothing has come a long way and is stylish, fashionable, and very versatile now, making it the perfect birthday or Christmas gift. 

Here are some of the other reasons we think it's a great idea to gift your loved ones UPF clothing/swimwear this season: 

  • Versatile (sun protection in clothing - what a combination!)
  • Protective
  • Stylish 
  • High-quality (long-lasting)
  • Comfortable

Best Sun-Protective Clothing Gifts for Babies and Toddlers

This list is for your pregnant friend or the new mom to be in your family, friend group, or neighborhood. You want to make sure you get the best, most protective UPF clothing for babies as their skin is more sensitive.  

We suggest clothing and swimwear that's rated UPF 50+, which The Skin Cancer Foundation calls "excellent coverage". We also recommend finding sun protective clothing and swimwear that's comfortable, easy to take on and off (especially when wet), and breathable. 

Here are some of our favorite suggestions for sun-protective clothing and swimwear gifts for babies ages 3 months up to 2 years old: 

Best UPF Clothing for Kids 

When it comes to choosing UPF clothing for the kids you love in your life, be sure to gift them sun protective clothing/swimwear that contains the following:

  • Breathable fabric
  • Raglan cut sleeves (mobility)
  • Elastic waistband (comfort)
  • Pockets

Best Sun-Protective Clothing for Women

We love stylish, versatile UPF clothing that can be worn while hiking, walkng around town, or out for brunch. Try to find UPF clothing to gift that's high-quality with a UPF 50+ rating. Look for the following when choosing to gift the women in your life with sun protective clothing/swimwear:

  • 30+ day return policy (let's be honest women need this sometimes)
  • Breathable, lightweight, high-quality fabric
  • Versatile
  • Stylish
  • Soft to the touch
  • Moisture wicking (keeps you cool)

Best Sun-Protective Clothing for Men

Keep the men you love protected from the sun all year round with UPF clothing and swimwear. Let's face it, the men in your life often forget to wear sunscreen or cover up while outside!

Gift them sun protective clothing so they don't even need to think twice about sun protection (although we still want them to wear sunscreen too!). Remember to find items of clothing that are comfortable, easy to layer with, and stylish too.
