...developed a technology that involved a combination of specially woven fibers, UV-absorbing chemicals and a manufacturing process that maintains durability. Result: Solumbra, a material that is tightly woven, lightweight, cottony-soft and nylon-based.

According to Hughes, the fabric remains effective after 100 laundry cycles and 100 full days of sun exposure...
