Sun Protection Zone Review

by 179 Comments

sunprotection

Sun Protection Zone provides the perfect outdoor apparel  for all weather conditions. Sun Protection’s SunSkinz is made from  light  weight, breathable fabric that provide 100% UVA and UVB  protection. SunSkinz  provide moms with the assurance to know that  their kids are protected without  the hassle of constantly reapplying  sunscreen.

 

My Take: With the coming of winter most people forget about the sun’s harmful UV rays. Even during the winter,  70% of the  sun’s UV rays can penetrate clouds and cause harm to your eyes (and skin)… especially in children. To be honest, I am one of those people that forgets. I have a very pale little guy and during the summer months I am so adamant about putting sunscreen on him and making sure he has a rash guard on. When Sun Protection Zone contacted me and mentioned that the sun is just as harmful in the winter, it hit home! The Sun Protection Zone sent Ethan a SunSkinz in size 4. We picked one that looks just as cool as a “shirt” as it does at the pool. Now we can keep Ethan protected from the sun while strolling through the local Fall Festivals or even at the park! We have a handful of rash guards that we have worn to the pool this year, so the feel of it was normal for Ethan. It is a spandex/lycra type feel and very giving. I never really thought of wearing them for play, but why not?! No range of motion problems here! :O) Ethan and I give SunSkinz two thumbs up… being safe is cool!

BUY IT: You can buy a SunSkinz from The Sun Protection Zone for $18.00
