We're a slow fashion indie brand.
We make in small quantities or make to order.
And we're committed to building safe for you, environmentally friendly, sun protective products that are attractive, comfortable and useful.
Hi, I'm Sharone, your designer.
My commitment to you, my children and the world is to do my best to leave the world in a better place. Comfort and aesthetics is so important to me, and delivering products that will keep you and your skin healthy while doing good for the planet is my goal.
What's in it for you?
This is a clean product that’s safe for your body.
Everything from the heat transfer tags, logos, thread and fabric is independently certified to be free of harmful chemicals and heavy metals including substances not yet regulated, and is rated safe for prolonged contact on skin.
For all of us, and especially the immuno-compromised, this is important for your long term health.
This means nothing nefarious absorbs into your skin (and therefore your bloodstream). Here's more info and the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 list of chemicals and heavy metals.
How this helps you and the environment.
Our OEKO-TEX certified partners utilize sustainable manufacturing practices to offset the global impact fashion has contributed to waste and pollution (especially our waterways).
My partners set goals to reduce carbon, water and energy footprints by using renewable resources such as recycled water and solar energy with no dumping of chemicals into the waterways.
I'm going to link to a reference chart of the PEF label(s) for the fabrics I use to make this product (Product Environmental Footprint) at the bottom of this page.
Attractive, comfortable, useful designs that are beneficial to your health as well as the environment.
Functionally, this permanently sun protective product blocks more than 98% of UVA and UVB rays from reaching your skin.
When I’m designing I think about friends with skin sensitivities, folks who may be immuno-compromised, recovering from chemo, radiation treatments or biopsies, people using vanity as a motivation to stay healthy (100% no shame there).
I want to create designs that are aesthetically interesting and useful.
I believe it's got to feel comfortable.
Whenever possible I try to incorporate unsewn edges into my designs.
These "raw edges" feel 'naked' against the skin - an important comfort feature for people with skin sensitivities.
Raw edges have the added benefit of invisibility, too. They won't create lines when tucking into clothes or around your arms (our UV Sun Gauntlets - arm sleeves).
Aesthetics do matter, because you’ve got to feel confident wearing your UPF clothing that’s oh so good for you. And our planet.
In the end, it’s a big circle and we just want to do our small part to keep crap out of the global supply chain, reduce the carbon footprint and make interesting designs that are good for you and your skin's health.
Thanks for reading!

These "raw edges" feel 'naked' against the skin - an important comfort feature for people with skin sensitivities.
Raw edges have the added benefit of invisibility, too. They won't create lines when tucking into clothes or around your arms (our UV Sun Gauntlets - arm sleeves).
Aesthetics do matter, because you’ve got to feel confident wearing your UPF clothing that’s oh so good for you. And our planet.
In the end, it’s a big circle and we just want to do our small part to keep crap out of the global supply chain, reduce the carbon footprint and make interesting designs that are good for you and your skin's health.

Hi, I'm Sharone, your designer.
My commitment to you, my children and the world is to do my best to leave the world in a better place. Comfort and aesthetics is so important to me, and delivering products that will keep you and your skin healthy while doing good for the planet is my goal.
What's in it for you?
This is a clean product that’s safe for your body.
Everything from the heat transfer tags, logos, thread and fabric is independently certified to be free of harmful chemicals and heavy metals including substances not yet regulated, and is rated safe for prolonged contact on skin.
For all of us, and especially the immuno-compromised, this is important for your long term health.
This means nothing nefarious absorbs into your skin (and therefore your bloodstream). Here's more info and the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 list of chemicals and heavy metals.
How this helps you and the environment.
Our OEKO-TEX certified partners utilize sustainable manufacturing practices to offset the global impact fashion has contributed to waste and pollution (especially our waterways).
My partners set goals to reduce carbon, water and energy footprints by using renewable resources such as recycled water and solar energy with no dumping of chemicals into the waterways.
I'm going to link to a reference chart of the PEF label(s) for the fabrics I use to make this product (Product Environmental Footprint) at the bottom of this page.
Attractive, comfortable, useful designs that are beneficial to your health as well as the environment.
Functionally, this permanently sun protective product blocks more than 98% of UVA and UVB rays from reaching your skin.
When I’m designing I think about friends with skin sensitivities, folks who may be immuno-compromised, recovering from chemo, radiation treatments or biopsies, people using vanity as a motivation to stay healthy (100% no shame there).
I want to create designs that are aesthetically interesting and useful.
I believe it's got to feel comfortable.

UV Sun Gauntlets -- Arm Sleeves are made from double certified, permanent sun protective fabric.
This fabric feels buttery soft and provides hard core sun coverage. It has amazing stretch to flatter your body shape.
Put these on and free your mind:
- Inherent, UPF 50+ sun protection won't wash out of this fabric.

Fabric | Polyamide/Elastane
Our UPF50+ Sun Gauntlets are high stretch and made using a seamless construction technique to optimize comfort. Hand gloves extend beyond the wrist and are one size fits most. Full length arm sleeves come in small, medium, and large Sizes.
| SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE | |
| Hand | Up to 10.5" | Up to 10.5" | Up to 10.5" |
| Wrist | Up to 9.25" | Up to 9.25" | Up to 9.25" |
| Forearm | Up to 12.5" | Up to 12.5" | Up to 12.5" |
| Bicep | 8.75-15" | 9.25 - 16" | 9.75" - 17" |
| Arm | Up to 15" | Up to 17" | Up to 19.5" |
HOW TO MEASURE HAND GLOVE GAUNTLETS
Measure your hand circumference across your knuckles to determine your hand size.
The average female hand has a 7” circumference across the knuckles, and the male hand is 8.6” across.
Our hand gloves will stretch to accommodate up to 10.5” hand circumference, and the wrist opening stretches up to 9.5" wide which is why we think our gloves will fit most hands.
HOW TO MEASURE ARM SLEEVE GAUNTLETS
Our Arm Sleeve Gauntlets have the same fit range through the hand and wrist as our hand gloves, and stretch to accommodate up to 12.5" forearm circumference. To determine your fit, measure the widest part of your forearm just below the elbow, and the bicep circumference of your upper arm.
We encourage you to select your size range based on if you want a snug or looser fitting arm sleeve!
Forearm circumference measurement
Bicep circumference measurement

While the Sun Gauntlet Collection is machine washable, we recommend hand washing your gauntlets to extend product life. If you do choose to machine wash, follow these instructions:

Hi, I'm Sharone, your designer.
My commitment to you, my children and the world is to do my best to leave the world in a better place. Comfort and aesthetics is so important to me, and delivering products that will keep you and your skin healthy while doing good for the planet is my goal.
What's in it for you?
This is a clean product that’s safe for your body.
Everything from the heat transfer tags, logos, thread and fabric is independently certified to be free of harmful chemicals and heavy metals including substances not yet regulated, and is rated safe for prolonged contact on skin.
For all of us, and especially the immuno-compromised, this is important for your long term health.
This means nothing nefarious absorbs into your skin (and therefore your bloodstream). Here's more info and the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 list of chemicals and heavy metals.
How this helps you and the environment.
Our OEKO-TEX certified partners utilize sustainable manufacturing practices to offset the global impact fashion has contributed to waste and pollution (especially our waterways).
My partners set goals to reduce carbon, water and energy footprints by using renewable resources such as recycled water and solar energy with no dumping of chemicals into the waterways.
I'm going to link to a reference chart of the PEF label(s) for the fabrics I use to make this product (Product Environmental Footprint) at the bottom of this page.
Attractive, comfortable, useful designs that are beneficial to your health as well as the environment.
Functionally, this permanently sun protective product blocks more than 98% of UVA and UVB rays from reaching your skin.
When I’m designing I think about friends with skin sensitivities, folks who may be immuno-compromised, recovering from chemo, radiation treatments or biopsies, people using vanity as a motivation to stay healthy (100% no shame there).
I want to create designs that are aesthetically interesting and useful.
I believe it's got to feel comfortable.
Whenever possible I try to incorporate unsewn edges into my designs.
These "raw edges" feel 'naked' against the skin - an important comfort feature for people with skin sensitivities.
Raw edges have the added benefit of invisibility, too. They won't create lines when tucking into clothes or around your arms (our UV Sun Gauntlets - arm sleeves).
Aesthetics do matter, because you’ve got to feel confident wearing your UPF clothing that’s oh so good for you. And our planet.
In the end, it’s a big circle and we just want to do our small part to keep crap out of the global supply chain, reduce the carbon footprint and make interesting designs that are good for you and your skin's health.
Thanks for reading!

In the end, it’s a big circle and we just want to do our small part to keep crap out of the global supply chain, reduce the carbon footprint and make interesting designs that are good for you and your skin's health.

We're a slow fashion indie brand.

And we're committed to building safe for you, environmentally friendly, sun protective products that are attractive, comfortable and useful.
Hi, I'm Sharone, your designer.
My commitment to you, my children and the world is to do my best to leave the world in a better place. Comfort and aesthetics is so important to me, and delivering products that will keep you and your skin healthy while doing good for the planet is my goal.
What's in it for you?
This is a clean product that’s safe for your body.
Everything from the heat transfer tags, logos, thread and fabric is independently certified to be free of harmful chemicals and heavy metals including substances not yet regulated, and is rated safe for prolonged contact on skin.
For all of us, and especially the immuno-compromised, this is important for your long term health.
This means nothing nefarious absorbs into your skin (and therefore your bloodstream). Here's more info and the OEKO-TEX Standard 100 list of chemicals and heavy metals.
How this helps you and the environment.
Our OEKO-TEX certified partners utilize sustainable manufacturing practices to offset the global impact fashion has contributed to waste and pollution (especially our waterways).
My partners set goals to reduce carbon, water and energy footprints by using renewable resources such as recycled water and solar energy with no dumping of chemicals into the waterways.
I'm going to link to a reference chart of the PEF label(s) for the fabrics I use to make this product (Product Environmental Footprint) at the bottom of this page.
Attractive, comfortable, useful designs that are beneficial to your health as well as the environment.
Functionally, this permanently sun protective product blocks more than 98% of UVA and UVB rays from reaching your skin.
When I’m designing I think about friends with skin sensitivities, folks who may be immuno-compromised, recovering from chemo, radiation treatments or biopsies, people using vanity as a motivation to stay healthy (100% no shame there).
I want to create designs that are aesthetically interesting and useful.
I believe it's got to feel comfortable.
Whenever possible I try to incorporate unsewn edges into my designs.
These "raw edges" feel 'naked' against the skin - an important comfort feature for people with skin sensitivities.
Raw edges have the added benefit of invisibility, too. They won't create lines when tucking into clothes or around your arms (our UV Sun Gauntlets - arm sleeves).

Our UPF50+ Sun Gauntlets are high stretch and made using a seamless construction technique to optimize comfort. Hand gloves extend beyond the wrist and are one size fits most. Full length arm sleeves come in small, medium, and large Sizes.
| SMALL | MEDIUM | LARGE | |
| Hand | Up to 10.5" | Up to 10.5" | Up to 10.5" |
| Wrist | Up to 9.25" | Up to 9.25" | Up to 9.25" |
| Forearm | Up to 12.5" | Up to 12.5" | Up to 12.5" |

| Arm | Up to 15" | Up to 17" | Up to 19.5" |
HOW TO MEASURE HAND GLOVE GAUNTLETS
Measure your hand circumference across your knuckles to determine your hand size.
The average female hand has a 7” circumference across the knuckles, and the male hand is 8.6” across.
Our hand gloves will stretch to accommodate up to 10.5” hand circumference, and the wrist opening stretches up to 9.5" wide which is why we think our gloves will fit most hands.
HOW TO MEASURE ARM SLEEVE GAUNTLETS
Our Arm Sleeve Gauntlets have the same fit range through the hand and wrist as our hand gloves, and stretch to accommodate up to 12.5" forearm circumference. To determine your fit, measure the widest part of your forearm just below the elbow, and the bicep circumference of your upper arm.
We encourage you to select your size range based on if you want a snug or looser fitting arm sleeve!

Meet sharone
Hi! I’m Sharone, the face behind HELIADES. My mission is to create UPF streetwear with a look and feel that gets your skin noticed and has an everyday, wearable sensibility that's beyond the beach, resort or activewear.
Most everything you see here is designed, sewn, packaged and shipped to you by me and my small team in the San Francisco/Bay Area. Take a look around and let me know what you think!
Raising the bar
Exquisite elegance for every occasion.
Adjustable sun coverage that elevates your wardrobe—for everyday moments, elegant occasions, and everything in between.
Luxurious materials with superior protection.
Buttery soft, breathable fabrics with UPF 50+ protection that won't wash out, and blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays—all while keeping you cool and dry.
Thoughtfully designed and crafted by women.
Our prints are all limited edition—and our original designs are handmade by Sharone and a dedicated, women-led team in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Responsibly and ethically produced.
Made with the help of partners committed to leaving a gentle footprint and to supporting needs of workers and their families. We upcycle leftover fabric.
We're committed.
The Skinny on Sun Care
It’s a marathon not a sprint.
Sun damage isn’t just accumulated in our youth. More than 75% of sun damage occurs after age 18.
Every day is a sunny day.
Sunshine transcends gray days and seasonal swings: 80% of the sun's UV rays can pass through clouds.
Premature aging isn’t preordained.
Substantial control lies in your hands: 90% of visible aging has been linked to sun exposure.
UPF is the best first line of defense.
Daily SPF helps—but unless you’re reapplying every two hours, you’re not being protected.
As your daily armor, HELIADES helps you jump headfirst into the endless possibilities powered by the sun. With skin sensitive UPF protection that doesn’t fade over time—our apparel offers a quick and easy layer of defense whenever and wherever you need it. Being “all in”—for the everyday and watershed moments alike—has never been easier.
Let customers speak for us
Face mask
I purchased the first version of the face mask and love it. The redesign is even better! I still love the breathable fabric used but the redesigned shape of the mask provides better coverage of my face. I also like to colorful fabrics options. The new ear loops are more comfortable. This is a wonderful product!

Great product!
I received my white mask today. It is a lot better than my UV mask I am currently wearing. I like that it wraps around your chin also. I also
thought the filter was great to have. Great product! I will be ordering more of your different styles. The hand written postcard added a nice touch.
Thank you!

Sun Protective Face Mask Classic White
Favorite mask!
I love my new UV mask! The white is nice for summer sun and the fabric is so lightweight so it's not hot and it's the comfiest mask ever! Makes a great gift for folks who have to be outside, and is adjustable to will be comfy and fit right for anyone. Stay safe!

Love!
Somehow I came across Heliades on IG and am so glad I did! I got my mask a few days ago and it's perfect. I love the moldable wire that fits around the nose--this totally mitigates foggy glasses and forms a nice, comfortable seal. The mask is full coverage and I love that the sides of my face are fully UV protected. Maybe the only good thing to come out of COVID-19 is the public acceptance of masks---now I don't feel so conspicuous wearing a face covering. I hope you make more colors because I will definitely re-order. This dermatology PA-C is a big fan!

Sun Protective Face Mask Classic White
so comfortable
I just received my pair. The pattern is so cute and the colors look brighter than appears in photo. The material is thin, breathable, flexible and most of all, extremely comfortable.
I can write, type, and move my fingers with ease. In fact I am wearing them right now while writing this review. I had tried on many sun protections gloves and this by far is the best. The comfort level is unbeatable.

Bringing it to Hawaii
And the material you use is really, really good. Soft, light, breathable, and almost wrinkle-free. I am most amazed when i wear it under the sun, I don't feel that hot. I plan to bring it along when I go to Hawaii this summer.

UV Sun Protection Cape - Berry Pink
BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL
Berry pink is gorgeous and vibrant. I love the soft, lightweight and almost wrinkle-free fabric. I keep in my bag and use it whenever I am in the sun. My favorite feature is the adjustable snap closure. It fits all sizes. A great gift idea.
