Definitely need good eye wear too. I've used bad glasses in the past. Killed my night vision every time I went out.

Good warning, when we are young, we think we are invincible, and might pay for it years later. I had Clarks level 2 malenoma removed 18 years ago, knock on wood, no irregular moles since then. I always cover up ever since then. I have always hated the feel of sunscreen and prefer high SPF clothes. Furthermore, the incidents of skin cancer have greatly increased since the invention of sunscreen...makes one wonder if it is giving a false sense of protection.

Good message.

I was looking at paddling pants a few days ago. To those who wear paddling pants: Do they breathe good and make you not feel like you're wearing a sauna suit?

I use mares full length swim pants, they breath and are comfortable.

Chemical sunscreens don’t sit on the surface of the skin – they soak into it and quickly find their way into the bloodstream. They scatter all over the body without being detoxified by the liver and can be detected in blood, urine, and breast milk for up to two days after a single application. That would be just fine if they were uniformly safe – but they’re not.

large straw hats and long sleeves are the way to go!
