ABOUT ACE & PICKLE
Our journey began two decades ago when co-founders Lori Nieder and Cheryl Arnold met through a fundraising organization in Miami Beach. Over the years, Lori transformed Miami Beach Tennis Center from a simple court rental facility into a thriving tennis and pickleball community hub. Cheryl, a serial entrepreneur, successfully built and exited multiple businesses in South Florida, spanning industries from tech to food distribution.
Meanwhile, Lori and Cheryl each raised two children in the South Florida sunshine. From the swimming pool to the tennis courts, one thing was always essential: keeping their kids covered, cool, and odor-free. When Lori’s tennis coaches asked for better sun- protection shirts, the idea sparked: everyone "under the sun" needs UPF 50+, featherweight, breathable, and odor-free gear that looks great and is also affordable. It didn’t exist. We developed a fabric that met all the requirements. Ace & Pickle, offering custom sportswear designed for performance and style.
WHY ACE & PICKLE
100% CUSTOM
We use a process called sublimation: a printing process that allows the dye to bond with fabric at a molecular level, resulting in vibrant, long-lasting colors that won’t fade, crack, or peel. The process allows for high-quality, full-color designs to be printed with the added benefit of maintaining the fabric’s breathability and softness. It’s especially effective for performance fabrics like our
Sombralux™ weave, where comfort and durability are key.
UPF 50+, BREATHABLE, FEATHERLIGHT, ODOR-FREE
How can the Sombralux™ weave be both UPF 50+ and breathable? Glad you asked. The fabric is made of polyester, which naturally provides an Ultraviolet Protection Factor (UPF) of 50+, meaning only 2% of harmful UV rays can penetrate the fabric. While polyester may bring back memories of the 70s, we sourced a modern version, designed with a breathable weave originally meant to protect fishermen from long days in the scorching sun. This weave not only keeps you cool but also won’t hold odor or cling to your sweaty skin—a cool side effect!
