Summer wear for the sun-challenged

[tulip]

You'll still need sunscreen on your exposed parts--lower legs, hands/arms, face, neck (especially back of nec), EARS!!

There are great, non-greasy sunscreens that don't look like a lifeguard's zinc-oxide nose. But the whole point is to keep your skin from getting damaged, so don't ignore sunscreen.

Thanks for giving the links to the PI Urban capris. I'm going to Europe this spring with my bike, and those would be great to have. TE, here I come!

Thanks for the thumbs up on these pants.

Those of you who have either of the pants -- is the padding substantial? I like my padded liners and would prefer to have padding inside pants instead of wearing two layers on a hot day. I'm wondering if the padding in either of these pants is enough.

Thanks also for the additional links and advice.

I never used the liner shorts that came with the PIs. I don't remember the Sugoi coming with anything. I'm fairly picky about my shorts and chamois, so I never even bothered with them. *shrug*

Worn over bike shorts or mesh liner shorts (I like these Sugoi Ricaro liners) they are fairly comfortable even in hot weather.
