Sailors' Valentines
The history of the Sailors’
Valentines goes back to the late 18th century when sailors would bring
home lovely octagonal boxes with seashell designs and present them to
their wives or sweethearts. Antique valentines from Barbados can fetch up
to $35,000 at auction and were made using up to 16 different shells. Today
this art form has been taken to a new level with a number of artists
creating wonderfully intricate designs, incorporating oil paintings and
using many different types of seashells and sea life.

Women's
Sun Protection Clothing, Sun Hats, Swimwear
Women's
Clothing
The women's line of sun protection clothing uses specially developed
fabrics that provide significantly more sun protection than regular
women's clothing and are individually tested for their UV protection
level. In addition, our sun protective clothes are designed to have unique
features to keep you cool while they provide maximum sun protection
coverage. Our UV protective clothing, also called SPF clothing or
sunscreen clothing, lets you enjoy being outside.
Women's Sun Hats
Our women's sun hats flatter and protect your face. They have wide brims
and come in a range of durable fabrics and colors. Most of our sun
protection hats are crushable for easy packing. To ensure complete
protection against reflected UV that can bounce up under the brim of your
sunblock hat, we also recommend using sunscreen or sunblock with your sun
hat, particularly on your chin and cheeks.
Women's Sun Protective Swimwear and Cover Ups
The sun protective swimwear is made from bright, highly chlorine-resistant
fabrics with matching accents. These designs, also called rash shirts or
rash guards, were originally developed for swimmers on Australia's Great
Barrier Reef. They have become the most popular sun protection garments in
Australia and block 98% UV (UPF 50+) for maximum UV protection.
Men's
SPF Clothing, Sun Hats, & Swimwear
The men's sun protective
clothing is designed for comfort, style and maximum sun protection.
Specialized fabrics are carefully tailored with unique features for
coverage and ventilation. Our SPF clothing provides significantly more UV
protection than regular summer clothing and each item is individually
tested, rated and labelled for it's UV protection level.
Whether you are relaxing with friends, walking, boating, fishing or
golfing, a men's golf hat is a great way to stay comfortable and
protected. Our men's sun hats include cotton, straw, and microfiber hats
in a range of styles. All our sun hats have wide brims or extra fabric to
cover your neck and are constructed from special sun protective materials.

Kids
SPF Clothing, Swimwear, Sun Hats, Sunglasses
Shop for SPF kids clothing,
swimwear, sun hats, sunglasses, sun shelters, shades, swim shirts, board
shorts, hoodies, and more.
These are the best sun
protection clothing for children, from tots to teens. Need sunglasses to
go with that? And maybe a bucket hat, too? Our accessories pair perfectly
with the sun protective clothes we sell, offering coverage and comfort for
them, peace of mind for you.
Swimwear
Ordinary kids sun protective swim wear is built on the skimpy side—cut to
show skin, and not especially durable for wearing several seasons or
handing down. Children's SPF swimwear from Coolibar are another story.
Lightweight, quick-drying, and durable, they’re designed to cover tender
young skin, not expose it to the elements. Choose from girls and boys swim
shirts, all-in-one zip suits, infant rompers, and more, all made from
fabrics that stand up well to chlorine and saltwater.
Kids Sun Hats
The most vulnerable skin, by far? The skin on the face. More tender still?
The skin on a baby’s face. Little heads need big coverage, and there’s
nothing like a good girl's bucket hat to fill the bill. Coolibar has kids
sun hats that secure at the chin, baseball style caps with neck drapes,
chlorine-resistant swimming hats, and more. No matter which sun hat you
choose, you’ll find it brimming with benefits.
