Sly Beaching - Protection From the Sun

(1/4) > >>

Yeah, it's the beginning of winter, but I'm starting to plan for my first sly summer.  We spend alot of time on the beach and I'm thinking it may not be enough to just wear sun screen.   I went sly September 7th and went to the beach once w/just sun screen.  Still scorched the back of my head.

Do you guys wear hats on the beach for extra protection?   A baseball cap probably isn't enough because it only covers the top half, and I'm not really into straw hats.

Any suggestions??

Hey Andrew,
I also like the beach and know where your coming from. My solution at the beach was to use the umbrella and also I bought a couple of headsweats, a white one and a black one. They cover my noggin and also help for the back of the neck. Since I shaved I haven't been a big fan on hats, but the material on these things don't seem to irritate my skin even when the sand is there. Might give it a try, they are a little pricey compared to a bandana but you get what you pay for. Heres a link:

The best part about this post is your planning on staying Sly at least until summer!!  O0

A wide-brim hat would be cool, I guess...haven't worn one myself.

SPF 50 or higher (if it's made) should work for extended beachness.  We take our very-fair-skinned five-year-old to the beach and just slather that on him....obviously not wanting to take a chance on a bad burn.   So I just use that stuff....whatever it is that my wife picked up for him...50 or higher, I'm pretty sure.

Hey Andrew, make sure you re-apply the sunscreen every couple of hours.  Also, you should use 15 SPF or higher.

Guys... it's summer here in Oz at the moment and the heat is killer. 40-41 ever day (I think that's around 105 in the States)? Anyways, sunscreen, hats, shade, what ever you can get. Get the sun screen with the highest SUN PROTECTION FACTOR rating... I think it's SPF 50+ .
