Solartex Sun Gear
brings the Australian approach to sun protection to the
USA!
Solartex Sun Gear, a leader in sun protection
products since 1998, offers various UV sun protective products
including sunscreen,
sun protective clothing, rash
guard shirts, sun protection swimwear & sun
hats, for babies,
children
& adults
from Australian manufacturers such as C-wear,
Stingray
and Sun
Emporium. All Solartex UV apparel carries an SPF Skin Protection
of UPF 50+ (UPF is the SPF equivalent for UV clothing and UPF
50+ is the highest rating available) and virtually all
items are chlorine resistant as well, so that they last much
longer than ordinary sun protective wear. We also carry
sun hats from Sunday
Afternoon and San
Diego Hats.
In addition, Solartex carries two types of sunscreen,
one made by Mexitan that is chemical free and
one made by Solrx that is waterproof. Either
of these sunblocks would be a great choice for those parts of
the body that are not covered by clothing!
Solartex also has My Pool Pal and Aqua Force
kids
flotation device swimsuits, swim
diapers, & sunglasses
as well as many other accessories.
Our Cwear & Stingray products have the endorsement of the Skin & Cancer Foundation of Australia.
Solartex carries only the best UV Sun Protective Swimwear,
Rash Guards, Surf Shirts, Swim Shirts, Sun Protection Hats and
UV Sun Protective Clothing on the market. With a SPF / UPF 50+ rating, Solartex's UV apparel and UV swimwear block 98% of all UVA & UVB rays. Our products are resistant against chlorine, have excellent stretch and recovery, and are quick drying. We have UV Sun Protective Clothing for swimming, running, boating, gardening, and/or any activity under the sun.
Fun in the Sun!
You may enjoy having fun in the sun but without adequate protection, the UV radiation is damaging to your skin! Over exposure to ultraviolet radiation can cause short term health effects such as sunburn, wrinkles and sun spots. Long term exposure to ultraviolet radiation can increase the risk of damage to the skin which may cause skin cancer and eventually Melanoma, as well as damage to the eyes which may result in cataracts. You can relax and have fun in the sun when you use our sun protection products.
Why is Solartex the best company worldwide in
UV Protection sportswear and swimwear?
UV Sun Protective Clothing and UV Swimwear (SPF Clothing
or Sunscreen Clothing) started over a decade ago and originated
from Australia, where the risks of too much sun exposure have
long been evident. Solartex was founded in 1998 to import and
sell sun protective UV
Clothing, UV
Swimwear and Rashguard
shirts in the United States. Solartex is one of
the original sun protective UV Clothing and UV Swimwear internet
companies! The Cwear brand was our first brand and
has been our favorite, with a very loyal following among our
customers. We have added products by Sun Emporium and Stingray,
both of which are also Australian companies with fabulous products.
What does the Solartex sun protective range include?
Our comprehensive outdoor range of UPF/SPF of 50+ sunwear covers all ages from babies to adults and our products are perfect for swimming, gardening, cycling, jogging, and even a day of shopping. We carry sunblock clothing styles of sun protective clothing, UV protective swimwear, Sun Hats, UV Stinger suits, Sun Protection Clothes for adults, UV swimsuits, UPF swimwear, SPF sunscreens, UPF50+ beach/water shoes, Ladies UV suits, Kids Sun Hats, Adults Rash Guard Shirts, Surf Shirts, Swim Shirts, Unisex Sunsuits, children's UV suits, UV baby and infant products, UV pants, UV jackets, Sunscreens, Sunglasses and various skin care accessories.
Sunscreen alone may not provide adequate protection!
Sunscreens may need to be completely reformulated after researchers discovered the Ultraviolet Rays that cause sunburn are not responsible for skin cancer. A Sydney University team found that UVA Rays (which do no visibly burn the skin) penetrate more deeply and do more harm than UVB Rays, which are responsible for sunburn and have until now been considered the main cause of skin cancer. Dermatology Professor Gary Halliday said the finding by his team could lead to a complete overhaul of sunscreens, which currently provide more protection against UVB rays than UVA rays. Sunscreen also requires that you apply it every time you go outside and it may easily rub or wash off requiring regular reapplications. It's easy to forget and easy to miss a spot, too!
Regular clothing may not be suitable for sun
protection!
Some regular clothing may rate as low as 5 (UPF 5), which does
not reduce UVR exposure, and does not provide any skin protection
from the sun's UV radiation. To be sure about your regular clothing’s
rating, special UVR exposure testing must be performed on fabrics
by certified laboratories. Our sun protection products
are tested to insure that they provide the highest rating in
blocking UV Rays, which is UPF 50+ (blocking 98% of the sun's
UV radiation).
We
hope you will try our products
& we guarantee you will like them!
