I have commented on this before but WTH, why not again. Special, up-priced sun opaque clothing is not significantly better than regular clothing that has the same skin coverage. It is a rip off. I wear a regular short- or no-sleeve jersey all summer and regular fabric shorts. Even with 50 SPF sun screen liberally applied to my arms and legs, they color deeply from riding in the Houston sun. The fabric protected torso and upper legs take absolutely no color with no sunscreen applied to those areas. So the question is, how much better could the specially treated sun-opaque fabrics be than regular? No color is no color.
