SUN TAN LOTION

[cabojohn]

I don't tan on the yak often, but when I do I prefer using Uni Butter...
Taste great plus fish love it too.

What I use has been mentioned, but I wanted to rely this important piece of information: Make sure that your sunscreen is within the expiration date! I've seen folks slather some 3-4 yr old sunscreen lotion on thinking that they will be protected from the sun, and find out at the end of the day with their new "lobster glow" tan that the sunscreen did not work. Adding a few extra years to your largest organ in your body is not a good way to learn to check your expiration dates. Be safe - "Be prepared" .

Well when everything fails and you do have a nasty sun burn.. I found this lotion to realy help alot. My redness is almost gone no feeling as if the skin is on fire any more today. I guess by tomorrow it would be like i never got a sun burn in the first place. I used this lotion twice before.. It always helped. Once i got a very bad burn where the skin felt like its on fire. Had to take cold showers to make the pain go away and get some sleep. Started to use the lotion 2 days after and it still made a huge diffrence the same day. Highly recommend it. it works best if you use it same day you get the sun burn.

yes these are the ones i wear. this isnt a commercial, just a great product.

Years before getting sponsored by them, I have tried to make my own ghetto version out of long sleeve tshirts and bandanas ect, but all other material is too thick and not breathable or it has an annoying seam...
Buff's are made out of that Nike Coolmax material. you dont even notice your wearing anything..& no seams!!!

I also recommend Izors PRO SPORTSMAN Gloves
or Buffs Fighting Gloves to give your poor hands some added protection..

"IZORLINE PRO SPORTSMAN Gloves" are the best hand protection available for the outdoor sport enthusiast.

BWE online store used to have them in stock. i dont see them now?.

I like the Bullfrog non-greasy gel formula. Other lotions were making my rods, reels, and paddle slippery no matter how well I wiped my hands. The Bullfrog seems to have some alcohol or something in it that dries immediately and doesn't get on your gear.

less expensive overall & no gooping up with sunblock all the time......

X2 On all.
On the Buffwear however I have the non-insectasheild version.
4 bonefish, 2 Turtlegrass, one Tarpon.
It's nice not having to wear massive amounts of sunscreen on the face, just use alittle around the exposed areas that are not covered by the mask, plus when it gets too hot I soak it to help me keep cool.

Just a reminder. Even the brands that claim to be waterproof and sweatproof will run and be easily wiped away. You would be best served by taking some with you, and reapplying every few hours to often wiped and wet areas.

On the false illusion that if you wear clothes, you are 100% protected. Not true. Look at some of the sports wear shirts (especially thin shirts that wick away moisture) they specifically say what spf they are.

Of course, materials like Waders are 100%

X2 for the Solbar Zinc. It's what my dermotologist gave me after zapping me with the liquid nitrogen.

As Caballito said, the best sunscreens have mechanical blocks Zinc Oxide and/or Titanium Dioxide. Avobenzone aka Parsol 1789 is also a good UVA/UVB block but doesn't seem to protect as long as stuff with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.
