The struggle to get vitamin D and, for those who forego skin safety, some natural colour, can be elusive in our cold Canadian winters. Never fear, the TanRound is here - and it's the only apparel for sunbathing in cool weather.

You wear it outside, in the winter, in the daytime and let the sun do its work on your skin. The patented UVTR technology allows the rays to penetrate your skin while keeping you warm. The downside is that it won't keep you very warm past -1C and it's probably not safe to use above 10C. And then there's of course, the way it looks.

But in case you're thinking, "Cool, I'll run winter errands in that", they've included pockets for things like your cellphone and money. It's even got pockets for extra heat packs so as to keep you extra toasty as you bustle about in a bikini and a neon onesie.

Perhaps the most surprising thing about this product is that people are paying to support it. At the time this post was written, this product has a Kickstarter pledge of $10,072 - already over it's $6,000 goal. If you pledge $160 or more, you'll get two Tan Rounds, a handy carrying pouch and a pair of sunglasses. So, you won't have to look silly alone.
