Quality Guarantee
You can depend on the Coolibar quality guarantee for superior sun protection items.
Every sun protection clothing item we offer is tested and rated for its UV protection level.
We show the percentage UV blocked in the text beside each product in our catalog and on this web site.
We also place a hang tag with the percentage UV blocked and the UPF rating on every garment we manufacture.
Our UV testing of fabrics significantly exceeds all published American standards.
- UV transmittance tests are performed according to the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists Test Method 183 (AATCC 183);
- Fabrics are tested both before and after life cycle exposure to laundering, sunlight, and chlorinated water according to American Society for Testing and Materials D 6544 (ASTM D 6544);
- Garments are then labeled according to the guidelines specified in American Society of Testing and Materials D 6603 (ASTM D 6603).
Coolibar performs this testing for multiple samples from every dye lot of every fabric used in production of all Coolibar sun protection clothing items.
Our unparalleled testing means Coolibar garments are guaranteed to provide quality sun protection
