The latest craze in bikinis - bikini 2.0 (via Paul Kedrosky), also known as the Solestrom SmartSwimâ„¢ UV Meter Bikini.

This very expensive bikini is a UV Smart Bikini featuring a "smart fabric UV Meter" that’s  built right into the suit (the belt, which is detachable as well). It’s all waterproof, of course, and even safe in chlorine.

Basically it gives you a UV reading:

The UV Index indicates the strength of the UV intensity. The higher the number, the stronger UV intensity, and the shorter the time for damage to your eyes and skin. In general the risk to your skin depends on your skin type, weather and geographic location. Our UV Chart gives an outline of ray intensity and protective suggestion, and average number of minutes to sunburn.
