ANSWER
What are Color Kids' sizes like?
Sun Protection is summer clothing that protects your child from the hazardous rays of the sun. Sun Protection clothes are used for sports or playing outside in the sun or in the water on the summer holiday. Just a couple of severe sunburns as a child will double the risk of developing skin cancer later on in life. The Sun Protection summer clothes provide more effective sun protection than suntan lotions and they are also more economical in use! A water-resistant suntan lotion is either washed off during bathing or it disappears during drying, and it must be applied approximately every two hours. The Sun Protection clothes can also be used in your child’s day-care centre, where they will provide your child with optimal protection throughout the day, and the day-care centre staff will not have to keep an eye on the children constantly being protected with suntan lotions!
Clothes with a built-in sun protection factor
Protect your child from the sun with Sun Protection. Less than two per cent of the sun’s radiation will penetrate the clothes. Sun Protection quite simply stops nearly all the hazardous rays! If your child is wearing an ordinary cotton T-shirt, as much as 90 per cent of the sun’s rays will penetrate the T-shirt. With Sun Protection, your child is protected by a sun protection factor of 50+ (Ultraviolet Protection Factor 50+). The high sun protection factor is a result of a combination of the volume of the textile and the density of the texture.
No chemicals have been used, and the protection acts until the clothes have been worn out. Suntan lotion only needs to be used on the skin that is not covered by the clothes. Remember that small children under one year of age should not be exposed to direct sunlight. A hat and a jersey are recommended, and keep your child in the shade, or preferably indoors, in the middle of the day.
Also as swimwear
Sun Protection works regardless of whether the clothes are wet or dry. Look for Sun Protection the next time your child needs new swimwear. Sun Protection clothes are very comfortable to wear. They are warm when wet and cool when dry. In addition, the clothes dry fast. Sun Protection is available in sizes from 3 months to 8 years.
Wash with a detergent without optical brightener or bleach.
