Forums >Gears and Wears>Best sunscreen for heavy sweaters?
undue monkey
I would have thought a heavy sweater would give plenty of protection on its own.
My bad. I thought it was bad form to read the whole thread before posting. Perhaps I've got my message boards confused.
Normally there is a penalty for making a joke that has already been made twice (not including a "+1") in a thread but you added a picture which is considered adding value, if only marginally.
Just note this was pretty close to a violation and you're being watched.

It's a Cinderella story.

Now you've gone and removed a picture that was already quoted. Hmm.
F*** me. I blame the curse of the bat.

All of you are missing the real issue here. The question should be Why does a 'sweater' need sunscreen.
I'll be here all day
Heavier sweaters often do not have a close weave. This leaves gaps that may offer little to no protection. Still, to your point, it would seem easier to treat your skin before putting on the sweater.
Heavy's a sweater. Oh, yeah.
And thanks. As I tried to turn 22-second quarter-quarters this morning, all I kept hearing was "various levels of dilapidation."

Perspire occasionally.

Hmmm... Guess I should have paid more attention to my title before posting!
Please don't. This thread wouldn't have half the panache with a more pedestrian (heehee) title.

Hmmm... Guess I should have paid more attention to my title before posting! I'll try the Neutrogena spray- I'm much too lazy for lotion. I never reapply. I'm afraid I would feel like double sided sticky tape afterward.
I was sorta lazy about sunblock, too, until my hubby spent a day in surgery having a melanoma and a lymph node removed just over a year ago. Contemplating widow-hood at age 37 really put my formerly lax sunblock application into perspective (and after a person's had skin cancer they have to have frequent skin checks...EVERY inch of skin is examined...even the ones that have never seen the sun and require, um, cheek-spreading). That, and I kinda like getting carded in my late 30s, even when women younger than I at the same table don't.

Kunland, you live in Tennessee and it has been hot. What do you need a heavy sweater for? Dang. Wannabe beat me.

El Guapo needed one in Mexico, so I do not think living in Tennessee makes one not need a heavy sweater.
A related question is what type of sunscreen do you need for a leather jacket ?
