For more than 15 years, Cabana Life has designed UPF 50+ pieces you actually want to wear while enjoying the sun. But our mission is about so much more than just clothing… Did you know that 1 in 5 Americans will be diagnosed with skin cancer by the time they turn 70? Our founder, Melissa, was diagnosed with melanoma at age 26. She was shocked to find out lightweight clothing wasn’t as protective as we thought. A typical white t-shirt provides only moderate sun protection, UPF 7. Melissa started looking for trendy sun protective options and realized they didn't exist. So, she set out to design styles that were both sun safe & stylish.
