Summer Sun Label's Kids Wetsuits Named a Finalist in the 2026 Clean + Conscious Awards
We have some exciting news to share.
Our Summer Sun kids wetsuits have been named a finalist in the 2026 Clean + Conscious Awards in the Best Kids Apparel and Swim category — and honestly, it means everything to us.
The Clean + Conscious Awards celebrate products that work in harmony with our bodies, our environment and our society. To have our wetsuits recognised alongside some of Australia's most thoughtful, values driven products is something we are incredibly proud of.
Why we made our wetsuits differently
When we set out to create Summer Sun wetsuits, we had one non-negotiable: they had to be better. Better for kids. Better for parents. And better for the planet.
That's why every Summer Sun wetsuit is made from Yulex natural rubber — a plant based alternative to traditional petroleum derived neoprene. It's softer on kids' skin, kinder to the environment and just as warm and durable as anything else on the market. Actually more so.
The result is a wetsuit that's soft enough for sensitive skin, stretchy enough to move freely, easy to get on and off and built to last through multiple kids and multiple seasons. Not just one winter. Not just one child.
What this recognition means to us
Being named a finalist in the Clean + Conscious Awards tells us that the choices we make in how we design and manufacture our wetsuits actually matter. That parents are paying attention. That sustainability in kids products is no longer a nice to have — it's expected.
And we think it should be.
Thank you
None of this would be possible without the Summer Sun community. Every parent who chose us over a conventional neoprene wetsuit. Every review left. Every recommendation shared at the beach, at swimming lessons or in a mum group. You are the reason we keep pushing to do better.
We will keep you updated on the awards as results come in. In the meantime if you haven't tried a Summer Sun wetsuit yet — there has never been a better time.
With love and gratitude,
Belinda and the Summer Sun team ☀️
