No need for sunscreen if you never go outside 😎

[-] Catoblepas 11 points 7 months ago

Maybe I’m like the last person in the world to find out about this, but I had never heard of sun jackets until this year and immediately got one because I fucking hate the sensation of sunscreen on my skin. It has a UPF rating of 40, which is like SPF but for clothing, and protects everything but my face (including the back of my palms). So I only have to put sunscreen on my face, which is nice.

I’ve been wearing it outside in UV 9+ weather and haven’t got so much as a tan so far. It’s light enough to let the breeze through so I don’t feel like I’m suffocating either.

Overall 10/10, would recommend.

This is very useful information, thanks!

Sounds great but I need 50+ otherwise it's kinda useless here in Aus. Will check it out anyway for December thanks!

There's probably 50+ UPF available, the one I have just happens to be 40+ (and I'm overly specific!) Hope you can find one that works for you 👍

Will take a look see, didn't even know these existed, thanks!

No, you can't tell me or my skin cancer what to do!
