sun protective clothing
wrote:
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.
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.
