For Great Design, Form Must Follow Function

Design at SanSoleil follows a simple formula: Form follows Function. Designing a sun protective top requires beginning with the fabric. We demand UV 50 protection for our fabrics. But that is just the start. Our fabrics must be comfortable to wear in the hot sun while performing a sport. SanSoleil incorporates wicking, easy care and quick cool to enhance the garment’s value. To enhance the cooling effect further, SanSoleil has added netting to the inside of the arms. This athletic netting acts as a baffle, adding air flow, around the body, while walking.

The evolution of apparel design has led SanSoleil to create not only a top for golf, but an essential health care item too. SanSoleil Sun Safe Sports apparel is pure function when it comes to sun care, and art in its exclusive print and style design. Many experts in sun protection have said there are only two ways to protect yourself from the sun: “Stay inside or wear sun protective apparel.” SanSoleil apparel design offers a beautiful garment to the avid outdoor athlete.

Designing sun protective apparel is a long, and arduous, process. It’s one thing to develop a top for sports, but another entirely to create a sun protective top. It's extraordinarily hard. The steps in product development, sewing and testing are completed over and over again. Yet, when it gets to the market, our customers are looking for something beautiful. If it’s not, it won’t sell.

SanSoleil believes in this symmetry of products that are beautiful products that function. Our tops will work for you; they will make your life more comfortable; they will make your leisure time more enjoyable.
