Snapper Rock SPF Clothing

Fact/Tip of the Day:  Contrary to what you may think, Melanoma doesn’t just occur on the skin.  In dark-skinned people, melanoma often appears under the fingernails or toenails, on the palms of the hands, and/or on the soles of the feet.  When I was pregnant, I had a few detailed ultrasounds because Melanoma can also often appear on the placenta.  My dentist always checks under my tongue, as well.  Source.

Were you aware that there is sun protective clothing available for kids with a built-in SPF factor?  I had no clue!  When I found the SunSational Style website, I felt like I had hit the jackpot!  As I stated in an earlier post, one of the ACS’ recommendations is for you to “cover up”.  Wear more clothing that will protect your skin.  So, what’s better than clothing that has the sunblock built right in!?!

I was sent a Snapper Rock Girls Short Sleeve Swim Set from SunSational Style to review on Sophia.
Oh my.  Cuteness overload.

I mean… do I have a future Surfer Girl on my hands or what!?  First things first… this outfit is absolutely adorable.  Pink and brown is one of my favorite color combinations and it looks great on this set.  Now, what’s so special about this cutesy set?  Well…

Snapper Rock offers the hottest looking UF50+ SPF Swimsuits you can find. Gorgeous floral panel compliments solid fronts. Short Sleeve Rash tops and low-rise water shorts block 98% of harmful rays.

  • Quick drying
  • Lightweigh and breathable
  • High collars for added delicate neck sun protection
  • Flat Lock Stitching to reduce rubbing
  • Low rise water shorts have lining
  • Soft elastic waist band for increased comfort 

One thing I was concerned about with the built-in SPF was the washing care.  Hey, if it’s not easy to take care of… it will be pushed to the back of the closet, right Mom’s?  Gina from SunSational Style reassured me that the SPF won’t wash out, because… the protection is not from chemicals, but the tight weaving of the material!  How great and green is that?!  The only way that the SPF will come out is with lots of stretching over a long period of time.  She encouraged me to most often just rinse in the sink and air dry.  When the set really needs cleaning, I can it put in the washer on a Delicate cycle!

This set fit Sophia great.  The only thing that was difficult about it was getting that tiny little opening over her big head {big heads = big brains}.  It was super light and she moved around like she was having “nakey time”. I did have a regular cloth diaper on her in the picture, which makes the shorts look a bit tighter than they really are.  When we’re at the beach, she’ll have a trim swim diaper on, which will make a huge difference.

Why I Love this Snapper Rock Swim Set:  Like I said, I didn’t even know that SPF clothing existed before I found the SunSational Style website.  Now that I’ve been paying attention, I have found other SPF clothing at Target and other stores.  I’ve looked at them, felt of them and they don’t even compare to the Snapper Rock set.  It’s so well made, flexible, and light against Sophia.  I love the “green-ness” of using the tight weave as the SPF protectant rather than chemicals and I love that I found such a cute form of baby sun protection

Buy It:  You can buy one of these super cute Snapper Rock Swim Sets for your little Surfer Dudette {or Dude} from the SunSational Style store for $64.00.  They also have a ton of other prints to choose from and sizes for everyone in the family!  They have about any accessory that you could ever need or want to have fun and keep you Safe in the Sun!

Although I was sent a Snapper Rock Swim Set for Sophia to review, I was not paid/enticed to write a fabulous review for this product, all opinions are expressed are 100% mine! You may view my full disclosure policy, here.

    We found something very much like this at REI yesterday on clearance! I bought it! Love the idea of more coverage and less sunscreen spreading.
