More Sunprotection Travel Tips
by Paula Connaghan, Weather or Not Fabrics

Getting ready for that Spring Break Vacation to some sunny spot?? 

Don't forget to pack the sunscreen and a light weight. breathable, UV protective cover-up. An oversized shirt with a high collar and long sleeves can really perform in your travel wardrobe. Made from the latest in fabric technology, these shirts can double or triple your wardrobe!

Use it as a beach cover-up. Made of highly breathable Supplex� nylon, it will dry 5 times faster than cotton. You can wear it into the water and back out again, staying more than comfortable without loosing your protection. Add a pair of lightweight pull on pants (extra long to cover your feet while lying around) for complete protection. Don't forget your hat and a pair of hand covers.

Wear it for a hike up to those beautiful waterfalls. You can tie it around your waist in the shaded areas or drape it all the way over your head for excellent coverage while walking in the sun.

Try adding a few travel pockets to your shirt so you can leave your purse behind. It's so nice to keep your hands free and your wallet safe!

When made from a "silk-like" UV protective Microfiber, you will be dressed for late afternoon stroll on the Plaza. Create a pair of balloon pants to make an outfit fit for the most elegant of restaurants.

What ever your plans - your vacation will be lots more fun without worrying about that dreaded "first sunburn of the season" by making certain that the fabrics you use carry a Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) rating.

Have a great trip!!

Enjoy the sun one an all - Paula
