I was thinking of moving to a warm state and focusing on the gym and mountain bike riding, as well as Pilates and yoga. I have a lot of melatonin in my skin but still, I really want to protect myself from the sun as much as possible. Aside from using high SPF Cetaphil, can anyone recommend good UPS sun protective clothing? I'm looking at Thermaskins, but it always says keeps you warm, rather than just protects from the sun. I won't need to keep warm; I need to keep cool.

Your input appreciated..

Have you tried Googling "UV clothing" ? I found a lot of results.

Yes, I know how to use Google, but I was requesting some personal opinions, not advertising copy.

We live in Florida and my wife hates the sun. We went to the local surf shop and got her a couple Rashguards, they are lightweight, longsleeve shirts the surfers wear. She has a few of them that are all UV fabric, she loves them. They look hot too . She wears them when we are out doing photography or walking the dog, hiking in the parks and then right home into the pool in it.

I was going to suggest a particular store, but after this comment I'm afraid to.

Underarmour - they have heatgear. Also as someone suggested many rashguards at surf stores will also have UV protection.

I used both this summer on a vacation where I was outside.
