Default sun protective clothing

HI,

I have been buying sun protective clothing for my children for 6 years
now and I have had the best results from:

www.sunsmartpr.com
www.kristyjuv.com
www.shadysun.com
www.alexandme.com

There are so many options now and these 2 have the best customer
service and selection.

I recently found www.kristyjuv.com and she has women's outfits which I
have purchased.

When my wife and I were in equatorial Africa for a month when the sun
was directly overhead and we were at 5,000 ft. elevation, we used SPF
clothing. We got ours at:

http://www.llbean.com
http://www.cabellas.com
http://www.rei.com
http://www.landsend.com
http://www.columbia.com

All performed very well, fit very well, and were easy to care for. They
were all quick dry fabrics. However, most importantly they must be the
correct items:

Long sleeved shirt and blouses,
Long legged pants,
UVA and UVB protective sunglasses,
and, VERY important, a broad brimmed hat. The best hats are at:

http://www.tilley.com/

They aren't cheap but they are insured against loss, guaranteed and come
with an owners manual. Tilley has other SPF/UV certified clothing also.

Partially. Tilley hats are amazing.

Of all things, Rit Dye sells an agent you can wash your clothing in
which gives the cloth and sp 30, I believe. It lasts for up to 30
washes in the machine. I started using it a few years ago because the
medications I was on made me very photosensitive and my skin would
burn through my clothes. After I used this product I was fine.
Ordinarily I'd say this was a potential placebo effect, but sunburn is
sunburn.

No, I imagine Stephen either

1) Didn't realize the OP was a spammer and took the subject seriously
or
2) Wanted to give better quality suppliers than the spammer's.

Kittery Trading Post has a line of sun-protective clothing, I can't
remember the name but LLBean also carries it. KTP is a bit cheaper.

Actually, in truth I was joking around. It didn't translate to
screen. I do think I'm going to invest in a really good hat this
year. I can NOT have sun on my face any more. I burn in the shade!

That Tillie hat line that someone else mentioned is really good, but I
don'tthink the brims are broad enough.. I've got several nicely
woven, broad brimmed straw hats I wear out there. I don't burn much,
but the sun on my head and in my eyes will bring on migraines
guaranteed.

I have rosacea so my face gets red even without a drop of sun. It
flares up when I do anything strenuous. I also have straw hats and
they suffice, but they stick in my skin all scratchy after a spell.

The Asian market store sells the hats Asians wear when planting rice.
They are cone shaped and I may try that. It is made of bamboo.

I hate getting old. My body is decomposingggggggggggggggg.

It's ok, but seriously, the tightly woven straw hat I have has a
broader brim. I don't have a picture or I'd post it...

My sister has it too, along with MS. I bought her the same hat I
have.

Those sound neat!

Happens to all of us, kiddo, just not always at the same rate. Getting
old is not for sissies! )

Depends on your needs. I need ONE hat that will also keep the rain off. The
Tilley doesn't fail unless I'm in a downpour for about 3 hours. A straw hat
would be a sad mess by that point.

I am really starting to feel it now, though. I should give my body
time to rejuvenate after a year or chemo injections for my Hep C.
Hopefully this was the time it worked. I had the same treatment four
other times and was negative for several years to have it return.
