    I'm looking for a long-sleeved shirt to run in this summer when I'm out in the sun and need some recommendations. Sounds crazy, but I burn faster than... well, let's just say I burn and tend to sweat sunscreen off (mostly into my eyes). We don't need to get into how ridiculous my sunburns can get. Surprised Anyone have a super-wicking L/S shirt suggestion for me??? Something that I can wear in 80F weather without cooking myself in? Bonus points if I can find it on sale. Thanks. Eryn

      As a fellow redhead, I'm also interested in what comes of this research.

      Yes, I do "run in this."  So should you.  The weather is never as bad as it seems from behind your office or car window.

        I think this is what a lot of the folks running Badwater wear. Long sleeved but not hot, protects against the sun: http://www.nozone.ca/noz_usa.htm

              Wow, Trent, awesome. No bonus point for not being on sale, but I will start saving up to buy me one of those babies. Sweet, thanks again! Big grin

                Under Armour has a line called "Heat Gear", but I don't know if it has the UV protection of the stuff Trent posted. Looks like it may be slightly cheaper though.

                Passion is a rather frightening thing because if you have passion you don't know where it will take you.

                 

                When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
