Sun Protection Swimsuits that Last Three Times Longer

Aug. 4, 2011 - PRLog -- Many parents already understand the importance of sun protection for their children on the beach and in the pool. Swimwear that is made from fabric that is UPF50+, combined with other methods such as hats and sunscreen, is the ideal choice for such purposes and protects young children’s skins from sunburn that will expose them to an increased risk of skin cancer in their adult lives.

In sunny Singapore where most children swim in chlorinated swimming pools, the additional feature of chlorine-resistance is as important to ensure that the sun protective swimwear retain their sun protection rating for long enough. When normal lycra swimsuits are exposed to chlorine water frequently enough, the lycra breaks down and the garment becomes baggy, faded and lose their UV protection factor. Essentially, it stops functioning as a UPF50+ garment.

STINGRAY® is a family-owned and -run business based in South Australia and is the original sun protection clothing company formed in 1989. The brand name is a trade mark that is synonymous with sun protection and their products use an Italian-made fabric that has been shown to last three times longer than ordinary sun protective wear in chlorine water. These garments are so good that it can be handed down to younger siblings where a normal lycra sun protective suit will lose its qualities much sooner. At the same time, the garments are comfortable, provide excellent breathability, are soft and feel pleasant on the skin.

Ocean Paradise, a specialist swimwear retailer in Singapore, will be launching a new range of chlorine-resistant sun-protection separates from STINGRAY® on 5 August 2011. These separates come in long and short-sleeved tops and matching bike pants. There are seven classic colours and are available in sizes 2 to 8.

As a launch promotion, a pair of bike pants worth S$31.50 to S$33.00 will be available at S$10.00 for every customer that purchases a STINGRAY® top between 5 August 2011 and 21 August 2011.
