"As a golfer, I was frustrated by the lack of options for protecting myself from skin cancer, especially my neck," said Tom Hurst, coLLo founder, and president. "That led me to launch coLLo and design our unique collars. Nearly 3.7 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year, and the risks for golfers are exceptionally high. We're serious about protecting golf players from UV radiation, and donate a percentage of every coLLo shirt sale to skin cancer research and prevention."
Featuring certified UPF 50+ sunblocking, moisture wicking, four-way coLLoStretch™ fabrics, and patent pending high collar, coLLo is exclusively focused on making UV protection golf clothing. The coLLo men's golf shirt line is available in three different collections:
- Cypress offers maximum athletic performance in a dry fleck jersey fabric, available in athletic and relaxed fit models.
- Sawgrass utilizes coLLo's luxurious double-dyed and lightly brushed fabric offered in athletic and relaxed fit models.
- Princeville is offered in an athletic fit featuring lightweight brushed fabric made from 15 environmentally friendly recycled plastic bottles.
Persistent sun exposure is a constant health threat to golfers. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, professional golfers received on average an estimated 217 times the amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation needed to cause a sunburn over the course of a year. Recreational golfers are at risk too, since every hour, they can receive 3.5 to 5.4 times the amount of UV radiation exposure needed to cause a sunburn. Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) is a rating generally used for clothing to measure the relative effectiveness of skin protection from the sun. It measures the amount of UVA and UVB radiation (http://www.skincancer.org/prevention/uva-and-uvb) that penetrates fabric and reaches the skin.
Created to block 95 percent of the sun's damaging UV rays, the design and fabric of the coLLo golf shirt line can help players get the most from their game with unequaled sun protection and maximum comfort.
Sold through golf pro shops and retailers, coLLo shirts can be embroidered with a custom golf club logo. They are available for direct consumer purchase at www.colloapparel.com.
