BeetleBugz was born from what I considered a necessity. After living in South Africa where it was common to wear Second Skins UV protective clothing on the beaches, I was surprised that Canadian beaches were filled with people exposing their skin to the sun. As I ordered skins for my children I saw the need for other children to be comfortable and protected in the sun.

BeetleBugz was born and the first products were short sleeved swim/sun suits for children.

Now BeetleBugz carries a full line of Sun Protection clothing; the original short sleeve swim/sun suits, long sleeve rashvests, a few short sleeve rashvests, lined swim jammers and lined sun pants. All of our UV protective clothing can be worn in or out of the water and it dries so quickly there is no need to change clothes between activities.

As an athlete myself, I am happy to keep expanding BeetleBugz product lines into activewear which is perfect for swimming, running, cycling, kayaking, canoeing, skating, gymnastics, and dancing. Another facet of BeetleBugz is the ability to produce team specific clothing and I am happy to manufacture team orders.
