skin cancer protection

I have used sun block with high SPF since I started cycling and do not get sunburned but I still developed skin cancer on my face that required radiation So now I am very cautious (paranoid!!) about the sun. There are good long sleeved jerseys made for sun protection and use in warm weather. So the arms are not a problem.

It seems that there would be long legged cycling pants made for warm weather but I can't seem to find any. I have found the solar leg sleeves that work okay but they don't stay in place well. It would make so much more sense to me for it to be a one piece item.

Face (head & neck) protection is most important to me. The balaclava comes closest to meeting my needs but the only ones that I've found don't even have a way to take a drink (no mouth hole). Does anyone know of something that covers face, head, and neck and allows for taking a drink?
