Coolibar: Giveaway

This giveaway is now closed with 446 comments. Thank you to all who entered. Congratulations to the lucky winner ~ Harley Dee!

From a past review, you know how important I think sunscreen is. I slather that stuff all over my family every chance I get. I was especially thrilled to experience sun protection clothing from Coolibar.

My son received their Youth Boy's Printed Swim Shirt in Cancun/Island. This is a nice quality shirt to wear on a long day at the beach or to the lake. My son often likes to go fishing with my husband and dad. This shirt will come in handy to protect him from harsh UV rays. It also features superior chlorine protection so if he's spending a day out by the pool, he can get the protection he needs. This shirt is easily machine washable and requires line drying. The stretchy fabric is ultra comfortable and allows easy movement. It is rated UPF 50+.

My husband is really getting great use out of their Men's Athletic Jacket in white. It's perfect for the crisp Spring weather. It's very breathable with mesh fabric underneath the arms. Their quick-drying lightweight fabric is perfect for outdoor activities and the hidden MP3 pocket with headphone loops is a really great feature. I love the look of this on my husband. This fit was incredible. He always likes to look his best and this jacket is stylish and comfy. It looks even better in person. Their Men's Athletic Jacket is also rated UPF 50+!

I was able to try out their UPF 50+ Fitness Pullover in Citron. I normally don't wear colors this bright, but it works for the season. This pullover is ultra comfortable. I love the simple styling, hood and handy zipper pocket. The fabric is very soft, stretchy and breathable. Throw this in the washing machine, tumble dry and you're ready to go. I have worn this on outdoor walks and it's terrific.

I am very impressed with Coolibar's products. Every item I received surpassed my expectations. This is an excellent company that offers safe sun protection for the entire family. From hats to pants, this company carries it all. Cover yourself with Coolibar this Spring and Summer.

Coolibar would like to offer one lucky reader a Cobalt Sun Block Hoodie! This is unisex item and women will want to order one size down.

Here is a bit more about it from their website:
"This UV protection shirt was built with comfort in mind. Our athletic-cut Sun Block Hoodie is so soft and lightweight, you’ll reach for it even on the hottest days. Plus, like all our sun protective clothing it’s designed for maximum protection."
