Chagrin Falls, Ohio, Feb 15, 2006. Sun-Togs has announced the launch of its new designer range of Sun Protective Clothing and Swim Wear, BluKuda in a collaboration with it\'s sister company in England and top UK fashion house, Jermyn Street Design. Finalized late in 2005, the BluKuda range is now available for immediate distribution in the USA.
The extensive range includes Sun Protection Clothing and Swim Wear for babies, children, juniors, teens and adults. Each item carries a UPF (Ultra Violet Protection Factor) 50+ distinction - the highest UV rating awarded for clothing. This rating is in compliance with both US & Australian standards (ASTM-D6603-USA & AS/NZS 4399).
The demand for Sun Protective Clothing has been on the rise, mainly due to the increase in Skin Cancer victims. During the past 10 years the number of cases of melanoma has increased more rapidly than that of any other cancer. Over 51,000 new cases are reported to the American Cancer Society each year, and it is probable that a great many more occur and are not reported. According to Tim Doyle, President of Sun-Togs USA, " data shows that sunburns during childhood can increase the probability of an individual getting skin cancer by 50%." He added that "children enjoy having fun in the sun, but their delicate skin is extremely susceptible to sun burn and sun damage . studies have shown that 25% of all children\'s clothing offers less UV protection than SPF 15 sunscreen".
Sun-Togs has been selling and distributing sun protective clothing and accessories since 1997. The company is headquartered in Peterborough, England, and is now represented in the USA, Canada, Switzerland, and Dubai.
