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.

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

I think this is what a lot of the folks running Badwater wear. Long sleeved but not hot, protects against the sun:

You da MAN, Trent! Big grin

Where does he come up with this stuff? Roll eyes

They're quiet. Must be shopping. Smile

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.
