At Coolibar, we strive to provide you with the best in UPF 50+ protection, backed by rigorous testing and a commitment to your comfort and satisfaction. Our goal is to offer you industry-leading sun protection so you can enjoy life outdoors with confidence and peace of mind.

How Coolibar Ensures Unmatched Sun Protection

Our UPF 50+ rating ensures each garment blocks at least 98% of UVA and UVB rays, minimizing the risks of sunburn, premature aging, and sun-related skin damage. Every Coolibar garment is designed not only to protect but also to keep you comfortable and confident outdoors, no matter your activity or environment.

Key Elements of Coolibar’s Testing Protocol

To ensure long-lasting, dependable protection, we conduct thorough testing that combines multiple standardized methods. Each test accounts for factors affecting the UPF rating of fabric during everyday wear, ensuring that Coolibar’s sun-protective clothing delivers reliable protection for the lifetime of the garment. Here’s how:

• Advanced Fabric Construction: From fiber selection to weaving methods, our fabrics are designed to resist the effects of stretching, shrinkage, and general wear, providing resilient and consistent protection.
• Resilience to Environmental Factors: Unlike standard fabrics, Coolibar materials withstand exposure to chlorine, saltwater, and various detergents that can degrade fabric quality and reduce UV protection.
• Durable Protective Coatings: For water-based and high-activity garments, we apply UV-blocking coatings that maintain their efficacy over time, even in environments that would typically cause fading or wear.
• Colorfast Testing: Each fabric’s color and dye are tested to ensure they remain vibrant and UV-protective, even after repeated washing.

All Coolibar products meet or exceed regulatory standards in every country where they are sold, providing globally trusted protection that adapts to your lifestyle. This commitment to excellence means that with Coolibar, you’re not only investing in sun protection but in peace of mind and long-lasting comfort.
