sunblock shirts

[yazee1]

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy my husband and sons sunblock swimwear? I've seen shirts on cooliwear.com, but they were 50.00 .

Hi there all
I have a simple solution to your problem..Rit makes a product called Sun Guard--It is a Laundry treatment UV protectant.. Helps clothing protect skin from harmful UV rays..Example is it will increase a plain white t-shirt from a spf of 5 to an spf of 30.. Yes its just that simple and relatively cheaper than 50.00 and you can do a whole washer full of clothing with the box.. You can usually find it with the Rit dyes in any store.. If not ask them to stock it for you.. It does work.. Hope this helpsout.. Ja mes

LL Bean sells sunblock clothing. I'm not sure of the prices, but the shirts aren't inexpensive.

I bought my son's at Ron Jons just before our cruise. If you have transportation before your cruise they have a large selection.

I bought one for my DH at Sun and Ski sports for $19.95. (They also had kid sizes) I also priced them at solartex.com, I think it was. I must say they are worth it!! My kids both wore them last summer at the beach and they both have freckled, fair skin and they completely protected them. If you buy them big enough they could work for 2 seasons. I think they are really catching on, too. I also saw them at Academy but it didn't specifically say spf on it.

Thanks for the help. Dh is the one who needs it the most. That's interesting about the RIT product. I never noticed RIT had a product like the one described. We have wheels and I've always wanted to see Ron Jon's if we were out that way. It looks like we will be. LOL
