Description

Solartex Sun Gear, Inc. was formed by 2 moms, Lisa and Laurie, to promote child safety products that make life easier for parents. Solartex features cool, comfortable, chemical-free 50+SPF sun-protective swimwear, activewear and hats for children and adults. We also offer the only U.S. Coast Guard approved swimwear personal flotation device (PFD) for kids.

Solartex had its genesis when Lisa, who has a fair-skinned, red-headed son, wondered if she needed something more than ordinary sunscreen to protect him from sunburns and the damaging effects of the sun. In 1995, she saw some sun-protective swimwear manufactured by C-wear International of Australia for sale in a baby catalog. She had grown up believing in sunscreen's safety and effectiveness, so she was somewhat skeptical about whether she should buy swimwear to protect her child's fair skin, but she gave it a try. She ordered a 2-piece suit and received it in time for their beach vacation. Her son was 3 & 1/2 at the time. When he got the blue C-Shirt and C-Shorts in the mail, he wouldn't take them off--sleeping in them and wearing them everywhere! At the beach, she didn't have to repeatedly chase him and hold him down to cover him with sunscreen and he didn't get sunburned or freckled, even though he was outside all day, everyday. It turned out that the shirt and shorts were well-made, too. Even after three summers of wearing them to the local pool, to theme parks like Busch Gardens and Water Country and to the beach, they still look great!

her a suit like her son's. She had a difficult time locating the company because their products were no longer available by catalog in the United States. However, because she was so impressed with their swimwear she didn't want to buy an imitation, and after several days of searching, she found the C-wear license-holder in Canada and placed another order. She received the same quality product, this time in a one-piece pink suit. Her daughter loved hers, too! The Canadian license-holder asked if she'd like to begin selling the swimwear in the United States. Since she was already convinced that C-wear is a terrific product and she had just reduced her schedule to part-time in her job as a local government attorney, the timing seemed right. Laurie, a pharmacist, shared Lisa's enthusiasm about these suits and was impressed by their "healthsmart" value and convenience.
