SmartSwim Bikini with built-in UV meter

We may leave our worries at home when we go to the beach, but we should never abandon our fears for harmful UV rays along with our sense of style. The concept of blending fashion and technology is growing at phenomenal rate. Solestrom, for health conscious and enviro-savvy beach goers launches SmartSwim Bikini. Bikini with built-in UV meter is innovative and caters to the young and environmentally conscious crowd. Solestrom’s new SmartSwim- UV Smart Bikini features a smart fabric UV meter and promises to sizzle all summer long. The bikini collects UV data though a smart fabric belt, which is neatly built into the removable belt and reports the UV index to the wearer with 0.01 accuracy.

The removable belt can be worn even underwater. Bright Digital LCD is easily visible in sunlight with a touch of button on belt. Unless you’ve been on a different planet for the last few years, you’ll probably be aware that this one is suffering from a depletion of its ozone layer. Ozone layer depletion has reduced its effect as a natural barrier against the harmful effects of UV rays, particularly UV-B light, which can cause premature aging of the skin, or even skin cancer. Just 15 minutes in the Mediterranean sun is enough to cause sunburn on sensitive, unprotected skin. The SmartSwim Bikini costs about $170.
