Why the Solaris Collection is 2026's Must-Have Activewear
Outdoor Voices has dominated the 2026 summer season with the release of their 'Solaris' technical fabric. In a year where global temperatures are hitting record highs, the demand for high-level sun protection has skyrocketed. The Solaris collection offers an unprecedented UPF 100+ rating, which is double the industry standard for sun-protective clothing. For residents in Singapore, where the UV index frequently reaches extreme levels, this fabric is more than just a fashion statement—it is a functional necessity for outdoor fitness.
Despite the global demand, Outdoor Voices continues to operate primarily as a domestic US retailer. They do not offer direct shipping to Singapore, leaving local athletes and fashion enthusiasts looking for a reliable way to shop us store favorites without the geographical restrictions. Staying updated on us trends is the first step in identifying these high-value items before they sell out.
Overcoming the US-Only Shipping Barrier
Buying from US-exclusive brands requires a strategic approach. Since Outdoor Voices does not ship internationally, you will need a package forwarding service to bridge the gap. By using comGateway, you receive a tax-free us address in Oregon. This allows you to avoid US sales tax entirely, which can save you between 7% and 10% on your initial purchase price.
Once your Solaris gear arrives at our warehouse, you can use our parcel forwarding service to have the items inspected, consolidated, and shipped directly to your doorstep in Singapore. This process ensures that you are not limited by the shipping policies of individual retailers.
Utilizing BuyForMe for Restricted US Stores
A common hurdle for international shoppers is the "Credit Card Block." Many US retailers, including high-demand brands like Nike, Sephora, or even Outdoor Voices during high-traffic launches, may decline orders placed with international credit cards or those using a known freight forwarder address. This can lead to frustrating order cancellations just as you think you have secured your items.
To solve this, we offer the BuyForMe (Assisted Purchase) service. With this feature, you simply tell us what you want to buy, and we handle the transaction using a US-based payment method and a domestic billing address. This proxy shopping method is the safest way to guarantee your Solaris collection order is processed successfully. It eliminates the risk of being flagged by automated security filters that often block non-US shoppers.
Why use BuyForMe?
- Guaranteed acceptance at US stores that block international cards.
- Protection against sudden order cancellations.
- Simplified checkout process where we handle the technicalities.
Estimating Your Shipping Costs to Singapore
Before you finalize your purchase, it is helpful to understand the logistics involved in moving your gear from the US to Singapore. You can use our shipping calculator to get a more precise figure based on your specific order size.
| Item Type | Estimated Weight | Box Dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| Solaris Leggings & Top | Approx. 1.5 lbs (0.7 kg) | Small (10 x 8 x 2 inches) |
| Full Solaris Bundle (5 items) | Approx. 3.5 lbs (1.6 kg) | Medium (12 x 10 x 4 inches) |
Important Shipping Considerations
- Volumetric Warning: Activewear is generally dense and light, but if you purchase bulky items like the Solaris padded vests or oversized hoodies, the shipping cost may be calculated based on the box size rather than the weight. Always check international shipping rates for volumetric weight policies.
- Battery Check: The 2026 Solaris collection does not contain any electronic components or lithium batteries, so there are no hazardous material restrictions for DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping.
Managing Import Taxes and Customs in Singapore
When you use international shipping to bring goods into Singapore, you must be aware of the prevailing import tax regulations. As of June 2026, Singapore applies a Goods and Services Tax (GST) on all imported goods, regardless of value, when handled through air or sea. Ensuring you have factored this into your total budget will prevent surprises when your package arrives at Singapore Customs.
By consolidating multiple items into one shipment using comGateway, you can often reduce the per-item shipping fee, making the total cost of acquiring the Solaris collection much more manageable. Check our shipping fees page to see how consolidation can save you money on your next US haul.
