Sun Safe <strong>Summer</strong><br />
Nozone Clothing offers an array of stylish products<br />
designed to provide maximum protection<br />
from solar radiation, using specialized fabrics that<br />
have been awarded the highest rating possible of<br />
UPF 50+. Sunsuits, shirts and sunglasses are just<br />
a few of the many sun-safe items. This Vancouver<br />
<strong>Island</strong> family owned and operated business was<br />
founded in 1996 by parents who were determined<br />
to find a better way to protect their family from<br />
the harmful effects of the sun and endless applications<br />
of chemical-filled sunscreens.<br />

It’s in the Bag!<br />
These gorgeous roomy bags are made from repurposed<br />
vintage sails here on Vancouver <strong>Island</strong><br />
in small batches. Their wide footprint gives them<br />
a burly stance, especially on rocky boats or uneven<br />
beaches. They will haul just about anything<br />
you can throw at them with ease, but beware,<br />
they can hold it but you still need to schlepp it!<br />
With two internal sleeves to hold your refreshments<br />
and another large one to accommodate<br />
other loose items, this bag lets you ride it out in<br />
style. Gym bag, mobile office, weekender or diaper<br />
bomber, the possibilities are endless!<br />
