Technology, Beauty Come Together in Solestrom's New SmartSwim Smart Fabric and Solar Power Line of Swimwear and Accessories

Ottawa, ON (PRWEB) June 30, 2006

A new look for technology, Solestrom's new high tech swimsuits promise to sizzle all summer long. First in their innovative line up is Solestrom’s new SmartSwim™ UV Smart Bikini featuring a smart fabric UV meter.

The bikini collects UV data though a smart fabric belt, and reports the UV index to the wearer with 0.01 accuracy. The electronic components are neatly built into the removable belt, and can be worn even underwater. Next in the list is a lower cost cousin, the SmartSwim™ UV Index Detector Bikini, which has UV sensitive beads that change color with the level of UV intensity. The reading gives more of a range rather than an accurate number, but for those who simply need to know if the UV is low, moderate or high, this bikini fits the bill.

It is currently available in Banana Split, more colors may become available later in the season. And finally, what could be better than a beach tote with built in energy source? No need to suffer dead batteries in your MP3 or cellular, just plug them into your Solar Powered Beach Tote for on-the-go mobile charging. This beach tote combines fashion and functionality all in one chic, lightweight and roomy beach accessory. A built in solar panel charges fully most small electronics in only 2-3 hours of sunlight. Pauline Butler, Media Relations Manger at Solestrom states “the concept of blending fashion and technology is growing at phenomenal rate, and we are right on the leading edge. Our products are new, innovative and cater to the young and environmentally conscious crowd’

Solestrom’s SmartSwim™ products retail from $98.99-$189.99, and can be found in their online store, Solestrom.com.
