Crafted with innovative original yarn fabric, Kocotree Cold Cheese Sunscreen sets a new standard for children's summer wear. TiO2 UV-blocking factors are directly woven into the yarn to maintain an impressive UPF 91, a UVA protection factor of 2.88 % and a heat shielding rate of 45.1% even after 1,000 washes, ensuring superior protection for delicate young skin. Additionally, cooling agents are embedded into the yarn core, creating an intrinsically temperature-regulating material that quickly dissipates heat for instant relief. Remarkably, it preserves a 0.27 cool-touch coefficient through 1,000 wash cycles. For breathability, the product features a full-mesh construction, incorporating micro-perforations throughout the fabric and strategic large-mesh panels in high-sweat zones. This achieves an outstanding 208 mm/s air permeability and 13,200 g/sq.m./24h moisture-wicking performance, allowing children to stay cool and comfortable even during active outdoor play under intense sunlight. Moreover, this product revolutionizes traditional chemical-based antibacterial methods by utilizing photon broadband irradiation to alter the molecular structure of the yarn, forming a "super-powered antibacterial shield". Even after 1,000 washes, it maintains antibacterial performance far exceeding the 7A-grade standard, offering unparalleled safety and purity. This innovation perfectly embodies the brand's commitment to "healthy care" for children.

Seamlessly balancing functionality and fashion, the design features a clean, everyday silhouette accented with contrast-color trim, showcasing children's vibrant energy while staying true to their aesthetic. It also incorporates various thoughtful functional details. The adjustable hood offers full-coverage sun protection, eliminating the need for extra outdoor gear. A UV-reactive color-changing logo provides instant visual feedback on sunlight intensity to enhance sun safety awareness and offer an engaging experience.
