♥ ♥ ♥ Beneunder gifted me the jacket and hat featured in today’s blog post; all opinions are my own ♥ ♥ ♥
I didn’t take sun safety seriously until my 30s as sun damage rarely resulted in sunburns on my naturally tan skin. But the truth is… serious sun damage to skin cells is colorblind, so these days I make sunscreen a key part of my morning routine, and also wear sun-protective clothing as much as I can.
One of my go-to brands for UPF-rated clothing is Beneunder: this sun-protection specialist makes sun hats, umbrellas, masks, outerwear, and sunglasses–pretty much everything that you might need to protect yourself from UV rays.
Featured in this post are two perennial bestsellers: the Binu Shade Cooling Jacket UPF50+ and the Dome Cozy Sun Protection Bucket Hat UPF50+. These two lightweight, easily packable pieces live in my car (so I can wear them for daytime driving) and also travel with me.
The Beneunder Binu Shade Cooling Jacket UPF50+ is made from a silky and stretchy nylon material that feels light on the skin, dries quickly, and wicks away sweat. It’s also full of thoughtful details, from the thumbholes to the ponytail opening to the built-in gaiter. The fit is cropped but relaxed so upsize for extra length.
The Dome Cozy Sun Protection Bucket Hat UPF50+ has an extra wide, floppy brim that can be adjusted to protect the back of your neck from sun exposure while still allowing plenty of side vision for navigating. It’s also packable and reversible, making it the perfect travel companion.
While Beneunder styles are a little pricier compared to lesser-known brands, considering how often I wear (and rewear) these pieces and the care it takes to design and manufacture these styles, the cost is more than reasonable.
