Featured in Golf Digest Style 2026 ~ Why eclipse Accessories Are Becoming Everyday Essentials
We’re honored to share that eclipse Sun Sleeves were featured in the Golf Digest Style 2026 issue now on newsstands as part of their “In Praise of Power Pastels” editorial.
What felt especially meaningful to us wasn’t simply being included,
it was seeing lightweight sun protection accessories recognized as part of everyday outdoor style and comfort.
Because that has always been the goal at eclipse.
Not bulky gear.
Not intimidating sun protection.
Not something reserved only for extreme situations.
Instead, thoughtfully designed pieces people naturally reach for every day.
The kind of accessories that quietly become habits.
Designed for Golf ~ Made for Everyday Life
Golfers have worn eclipse Sun Sleeves for years because they were designed with golf in mind from the beginning.
Long hours outdoors require protection that stays comfortable.
That means:
- lightweight fabrics
- breathable cooling comfort
- soft stretch that moves naturally
- UPF 50 protection (lab tested)
- coverage over often-missed zones like the backs of hands, wrists, neck and ears
The goal has always been simple ~
Create sun protection comfortable enough that people forget they’re wearing it.
Because the best protection is usually the protection you’ll actually keep on all day.
No constant sunscreen reapplication.
No heavy layers.
Just effortless everyday coverage.
Small Accessories ~ Big Protection
At eclipse, we’re increasingly focusing on innovative accessories designed to come everywhere with you outdoors.
Sun Sleeves
Sun Gloves
Gaiters
Headbands
The pieces are intentionally compact, lightweight and easy to keep nearby:
- in your car
- in your golf bag
- in your carry-on
- by the front door
- on your boat
- in your hiking backpack
Most people rarely forget sunglasses before leaving the house.
We believe sun protection accessories should become just as indispensable.
Why “Often Missed Zones” Matter
Many areas of the body receive frequent UV exposure without people realizing it.
The backs of hands
The upper chest
The ears
The neck
The sides of the face
Wrists while driving or golfing
These are often the places dermatologists notice cumulative sun exposure first.
That’s why eclipse products are intentionally designed to extend protection into areas many garments leave exposed.
The eclipse Gaiter, for example, is shaped differently from most neck covers.
Instead of a straight tube, it extends lower across the upper chest and neckline where delicate skin is often exposed due to shirt necklines.
For stronger sun exposure, it can also comfortably pull over the face while remaining breathable and lightweight.
Power Pastels ~ Protection That Feels Easy to Wear
We loved Golf Digest’s “Power Pastels” theme because eclipse has always believed protective clothing should still feel soft, beautiful and easy to style.
From Aqua and Ice Blue to Latte, Pewter and Starry Night
The colors are designed to integrate naturally into everyday wardrobes rather than feeling overly technical.
Protection becomes easier when the pieces feel good to wear.
And when something feels good to wear, it becomes part of your routine!
Healthy Sun Habits Start Early
We especially love seeing children wearing eclipse accessories because healthy habits formed early often last a lifetime.
Lightweight sleeves and headbands allow children to stay comfortable outdoors while helping protect delicate skin during:
- playground time
- sports
- walks
- beach days
- travel
- camp
- everyday outdoor play
Soft protection that moves with them.
Because enjoying the outdoors and protecting your skin should never feel like opposites.
Locally Made, Locally Priced
eclipse continues to be designed, cut and sewn locally in Colorado in small batches.
And because we make locally, we can keep our pricing fair.
Locally made, locally priced.
That matters deeply to us.
We believe enjoying the sun the healthy way should feel accessible and easy to bring into everyday life.
Not complicated.
Just thoughtful protection you naturally reach for again and again.
Small Habits ~ Big Consequences
Consistent sun protection is daily.
The sleeves you keep in your bag.
The gaiter you bring on a boat ride.
The headband your child wears to the playground.
The gloves you keep in the car.
Small habits quietly add up over time.
And over time, it shows.
Enjoy the sun the healthy way ~
