SPF Clothing

I guess I'm the only person who actually thinks the cool wings make me cooler. I can feel the difference when there's a breeze or while in the shade. In the sun while not moving/with no breeze, there's no difference because they work by increasing sweat evaporation. When I'm done riding, I will be soaked with sweat but my arms will be dry.

I wear sunscreen underneath them. I've noticed the one I bought last year is slightly yellowed from the sunscreen, probably because I only do laundry once a week so they sat too long before being washed. So I'm going to start hand washing them right away after wearing -- they fold up so small that I can soak them in a tupperware container.

BTW I haven't worn any of these, but I see that Canari and Saucony have SPF tops available at Team Estrogen. Has anyone tried them out?
