Keep Children Safe in the
Sun with the New
Eclipse® Kids/Baby Comfy
Sun Poncho
LONGMONT,
CO (February 26, 2014) – Getting sunburned in childhood or adolescence more than doubles a person's chances
of developing melanoma,
the most serious form of skin cancer, later in life, according to the National
Skin Care Foundation. One of the best ways to protect children from the sun is by
covering them up with protective clothing. Eclipse® Sun Products has just
introduced their new line of sun protective clothing made especially for babies
and kids. The new Kids/Baby Comfy Sun Ponchos are an excellent alternative to
slathering on layers of sunscreen, and deliver comfort and optimal coverage
from the sun’s harmful UV rays.
“Children
especially need to be protected from the sun’s UV rays as well as chemicals
found in various sunscreens,” says Elise Champe, owner of Eclipse® Sun
Products. “Most parents dread having to continuously layer on sunscreen every
time their kids go outdoors. Our Kids/Baby Comfy Sun Ponchos are lightweight,
comfortable, easy to get on and off, and protect against UV exposure even when
wet. There is no other product out there like this,” she says.
The
ponchos are available in two sizes, for 1-3 year olds and 4-7 year olds. The
4-7 year old size can fit a small adult. Here are 3 benefits of wearing the
Eclipse® Kids/Baby Comfy Sun Poncho:
Optimal
Coverage.
The children’s poncho effectively covers the head, neck, shoulders, trunk, and
arms. On an adult, it covers the chest, shoulder and upper arms for the most
protection from harmful rays.
Comfortable. No more struggling to
remember to apply sunscreen. The poncho is light and loose-fitting to keep the
hot sun off your child’s skin while not constraining them from playing.
Protection. The ponchos provide UPF
50+ sun protection, minimizing the need for chemical sunscreens that may be
harmful for some people.
“Parents
will love the new ponchos for their convenience and protection,” says Champe.
“They aren’t tight-fitting and the loose design makes them comfortable, even in
the heat,” she says.
Eclipse
Sun Products, which include sun sleeves and sun gloves, are being used by many
people who spend a lot of time outdoors, including golfers, drivers, hikers,
and bikers. They are UPF 50+, fashionable, finger-free, and made from patented
sun guard fabric. They are made of Spandex to provide a non-slip fit. They also
provide moisture wicking and cooling. For more information, visit the site

ReplyDeleteThis is a good alternative to commercial sunscreen. Hope more moms find out about this.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is going to be shade time soon, after this long and hard winter I think everyone is ready for some sunshine and to put on your kicking shades.
ReplyDeleteI usually do not burn, but my daughter got an awful looking burn when she was in college. I like have options to slathering on commercial sunscreen.
