Friendly Reminder

I wear UV Shirts while on the water and drive with UV sleeves for distance...

 

Stage 2 nodular melanoma was sure fun...

 

I do the same with the UV long sleeves shirts on road trips.
Long sleeve cotton t-shirts for everyday wearing. Or a longsleeve UV shirt with a regular t-shirt over it. I have a floppy hat on the porch that I put on, even just to go out to the mailbox.

 

I’m starting to wear a UV hoodie when on the boats, may even have to take up Coach’s Couture with regards to neck and face
Werfless

FYI
Just received a notice from the FDA that Zantac may now cause cancer ...

 

Relevant to this thread, salt armor has a sale on UPF sleeves, something like four for 12$ shipped to your door, quite a few designs available. I am putting an order in later today

 

Combo of any 5 Face / Arm sleeves + 1 bonus random for $28 shipped...
May just have to look into this

 

Take care of yourself brother. Have you fished those baits yet? Show the class!

 

Golf secret? 6 Basel Cell and two Squamous Cell removals... so far! Bad thing is, I asked my Dermatologist what I could do about this now. He said nothing, said the damage was done years ago. So this warning goes out to the young ... who believe themselves bullet-proof! BTW, while you're at it, quit vaping and smoking! Wasted breath, I know!

The retort I often hear is "everybody dies of something". True enough, but not everyone dies coughing and gasping for air!

 

Better deal on this one Chriwilson

 

I need uppers more than I need the sleeves tho...

 

Me too, but I have lots of em.

 

Hmm. Yeah, the damage is already done, but being sunburned is less than fun.
No-Ad brand sunscreen's pretty good and far less expensive than brands with big ad campaigns.
Their 50 SPF sport stays on pretty good (I sweat like a pig unless I'm blls deep in the bay)....but this year they I saw something new. No-Ad Naturals. The one with zinc oxide. It goes on smooth but it's a little chalky..."sheer" doesn't mean "clear" so smear on a thin coat unless you like prison pallor.
The best part is that crap doesn't sweat off.

 

How do those sleeves compare to long sleeve sun shirts as far as staying cool?

 

They are a bit cooler, I think

 

I’ve been told some of these new clear spray-on sunscreens aren’t as effective as the regular zinc oxide versions.

If you as your skin doctor to write you a prescription for long sleeve shirts I believe you can write that off as a medical expense.

As far as sunblocks go, they provide protection either chemically or physically, as is the case with the Titanium or Zinc oxides.

The typical sunblocks require your skin to absorb the chemical after say 30mins, which in turn alters the UV that your skin is in contact with and disperses as heat energy.

The chemical products are easier for coverage and reapplication, but personally I prefer to use upf or uv blocking products.

 

i am a white irish man... i look red never stepping out of the house... i work indoors and still put sun screen on in the morning everyday. i also wear long sleeve uv rated shirts while i fish..
