Maintain a Healthy and Radiant Skin all Day Long at the Beach or Pool When Wearing EcoStinger® Full Body Cover UV Swimsuits!

What Is The Difference Between Regular And Sun Protection Swimwear UPF50+?

1. Fabric Type: Regular and sun protection swimwear are typically made from specialized stretch fabrics designed for use in water. These fabrics are commonly composed of Nylon, Lycra, Elastane, Spandex, or Polyester yarns. The quality and performance of the garment depend on both the fabric composition such as Nylon/Lycra or Polyester/PBT blends and the fabric weight, which usually ranges from 170 to 200 grams per square meter (5 to 5.9 oz per square yard). To achieve UV protection, the fabric must be tightly knitted to effectively block the sun’s ultraviolet rays from penetrating and reaching the skin. As a result, some regular swimwear fabrics may not provide adequate sun protection. The highest possible UV protection rating a fabric can achieve is UPF50+, which blocks more than 97.5% of the sun’s UV radiation according to Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA).
UPF50 means that only 1/50th (or 2%) of UV radiation can penetrate the fabric. In other words, the fabric blocks 98% of the sun’s UV rays, that is the maximum any fabric can be certified for, therefore anyone claiming 100% sun protection for clothing, swimwear or sun hats is an incorrect statement.

2. Design Style: The design differences between regular and uv protection swimwear are quite distinct. Regular swimwear often follows fashion trends and personal style preferences, typically exposing more skin for aesthetic appeal. In contrast, sun protective swimwear is purposefully designed to cover as much skin as possible, providing effective defense against harmful UV radiation. Garments such as stinger suits, dive skins, and full-body swimsuits are specifically engineered to cover the arms and legs, ensuring all day protection from the sun’s harsh rays. This coverage helps prevent sunburn, skin damage, and in severe cases, skin cancer, allowing wearers to enjoy the water safely and confidently.

3. Body Fit: UV protection swimsuits are designed with a snug, body hugging fit that enhances performance and ensures optimal UV coverage. Because this fit is similar to slim fit sizing, it is generally recommended to choose one size larger than your regular swimwear or clothing size for maximum comfort.

Over Exposure To The Sun UV Radiation Can Damage The Skin

Millions of people head outdoors every year when the weather warms up, in fact the historical statistical records by census.gov put the number of Amrerican adults participation in beach leisure activities at around 60 million people not including children (Census Bureau of USA). In 2021, the latest year for which incidence data are available, 90,365 new cases of Melanomas of the skin were reported in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

Over exposure to the sun rays can severely damage the skin cells and may ultimately lead to skin cancer! Protecting yourself and your family from an early age can help preserve your skin natural elements. Although sunscreen is a great tool to help prevent sun damage, but it is not enough on its own. When spending any amount of time in the sun, it is essential to wear uv protective garments and sun hats in addition to applying sunscreen on exposed skin such as face hands and feet to minimize the effects of the sun's ultraviolet rays.

TESTIMONIALS by verified customers.

I simply wanted to let you know how wonderful I think your full body suits are. As fair skinned people living in Hawaii we understand the power of the sun. It might be fine to get pink during a week long vacation but it's a totally different story to be pink year round. These suits SAVE us in the water. We used to come home with lobster-red backs and necks from snorkeling or kayaking (even with a reapplication of sunblock). Now we make sure we are wearing our suits and we come home able to enjoy our evening instead of slathering ourselves in aloe. l vacillated between the full suit without a hood and the hooded one - then decided to go full goofball and bought the pink/navy one with the hood. Do I look goofy? Of course! Do I get a painful sunburn on my neck or ears? Nope. Does my long hair escape and tangle in front of my mask to obscure my view? Nope. Does my long hair get tangled in my mask strap? Nope. Does my long hair get caught in my armpits while I freestyle out to the reef? Nope. And for the record, that totally happens and is not comfortable. Thank you for the comfortable, lightweight, easy to put on, sun shielding, jellyfish sting preventing, reef rash preventing suits you make. Our family may be the goofiest looking on the beach, but we aren't fools! Cancer protection is more important than fashion! Rebecca W.
