NEW Coolibar Convertible Polo Review – We’ve got more up our “sleeve”

UPF 50+ Convertible Polos

Over the past months, Coolibar’s merchandising team has been hard at work designing new sun protection apparel, always keeping practicality, purpose and fashion in mind. One of the more exciting parts of creating new products is putting them up to the test!

One of our new developments, the Coolibar Convertible Polo, is an innovative short sleeve golf polo containing separate matching sun sleeves that fit snugly to protect arms from UV rays. This unique polo also contains ZnO SUNTET® fabric which embeds millions of tiny particles of zinc oxide (the same ingredient that is used in better sunscreens) into every fiber.

Recently, we came across the perfect opportunity to obtain some solid feedback on our new Convertible Polo.  Dr. Manju George, a board certified pediatric dermatologist who provides personalized care for children and young adults at her private office in Florida, was excited to be one of the first to try this new sun protection polo and give us her input.

    AT long last a short sleeve polo returns — i have saved my nine short sleeve ones for years of golfing — i bought out your remaining stock years ago – i hope these wear as well and are as comfortable and wash as well.
    Thanks

      Frederick, the new polo’s are made of our ZnO SUNTECT (cotton blend, with a bit of stretch, and zinc oxide to protect and soothe) which is soft and breathable, plus you have the option of the sleeve if you would like to use it. I really think you will like our new polo’s! You’ll want to replace the 9 you currently have in your closet.

    Just recently have had to cover up head to toe for health reasons – NO SUN!! Received two of your Convertible Polo’s as gifts and I really can’t say enough about their feel when you wear them; the colors are awesome and they are cool. Would you consider selling just the sleeves so that I could again wear some of the many short sleeve polo’s that I have in my closet.

    Yes, we have new ZnO Sun Sleeves that are sold separately! They should be available in a few weeks, item #07009. We will also have swim sleeves this summer made of our aqua SUNTECT fabric. Both come in great colors, look for them soon!
