Summer is just around the corner and that means it’s time to gear up to hit the beach. A successful family day in the sun requires a lot of planning and even more stuff. Perhaps the most important element is adequate sun protection for sweet little skin. One Step Ahead’s Sun Smarties collection incorporates UV protection into swimwear to ensure a happy (and healthy) day at the beach.
Sun Smarties Apparel
Sun Smarties Apparel provides excellent UPF 50+ protection, blocking more than 97.5% of UV rays. The collection doesn’t skimp on style because it’s providing protection; rather, the bathing suits are fun, bright and will appeal to littles and their parents. The bathing suits are lightweight and easy to wear and are also quick drying.
One Step Ahead sent Max some Sun Smarties gear so he is summer-ready! We’ll put the matching rash guard and bathing suits when we head to the beach in a few weeks. In the meantime, Max modeled some of his new Sun Smarties apparel (with his Cars, of course).
I really appreciate this Long-Sleeve Rash Guard option. It’s lightweight so he won’t get too warm and we know he’s well protected from the sun. The Little Skipper collection includes matching stripe Swim Trunks that are delightfully nautical.
We’ve been fans of the Terry Cover-Up since last year when it became my daughter’s go-to pool and beach towel. Now Max will also be covered in this absorbent hooded towel. Like the other Sun Smarties products, this somehow walks the line of providing full coverage without being too heavy. It’s airy and breathable to prevent overheating – and also has 50+ SPF protection.
