Temporary alternative to slathering sunscreens on face
 

FYI, I ran two tests of an alternative to heavy sunscreens for UPF protection. The biggest problem is the product seems to be discontinued but is available at sierra trading post.

It's a summer balaclava by Dr. Shade. I tested it at 84F yesterday and did not overheat. Here's a quick and dirty review:

PLUS
-- stretchable
-- doesn't make you cook like Solumbra clothing
-- has breathing mask
-- covers entire head except for sun glasses
-- super cheap right now
-- tan color
-- face does not feel hot when the sun hits it

MINUS
-- breathing mask area is a bit too small
-- opening for glasses could be a bit larger
-- need to have cloth on nose, or it's harder to breath.

So if you like the idea, you might grab one or two before they run out.

You say heavy slathering but what about spray-on sunscreens?

Is this it?

I might be willing to wear a long-sleeved summerweight jersey, but I'm not too sure about a balaclava...

I'm intrigued. I see the guys mowing lawns in these things all the time.

That sounds like an arrest in South Carolina. Adults cannot wear a mask in public. Three letters, all K.

Fair enough.

(no pun intended)
