Also watch what kind of shirt your wearing as a tee shirt material my only protect you with a SPF of 5 so put on some sun screen before you get dressed for the day. Also reapply as label calls for.

I had a discussion with a friend a few years ago at the track ( who was wearing a tank top, short pants and no hat) about me wearing long sleeve shirts and long pants.
He said: "aren't you hot with all that on ? "
I said yes, initially, but my body has gotten used to it.
I went on to explain to him that my skin temperature will maintain a more consistent temp due to the fact that the sun is not beating down on it making the skin hot.
My shirt will get wet from sweating, but a wet shirt keeps the skin cooler.
