sun protection clothing esp for face and neck

Here is another option: Da Brim, and a DIY version.

when riding in desert heat/sun I wear an adventure cycling protech cap under my helmet, a campmor blubandoo cooling neck/head band and a UPF 50+ long sleeve jersey. There are a number of long sleeve UPF jerseys and Voler has a Sol Skin line of UPF 50 leg/arm/cap items

I have an earlier version of this Zoot flap cap. I love it for outdoor events, though I will say it's an oven when I'm exerting myself, so I don't wear it to run. With the extra ventilation of cycling, it might be okay, especially on cooler days. The crown is soft, so it should fit fine under a helmet.

Thank you everyone, I ordered Da Brim and will let you know what I think.

I have to figure out arms and legs. I do have a rash guard that is allegedly 50 SPF but who knows. It would only cover arms/torso/neck though. Needs legs too, preferably.

thanks again.

Try this for legs: http://www.amazon.com/DeSoto-Shield-.../dp/B009WWAKWU They make them for arms too. There are also lots of bike jerseys that have SPF fabric and might be a bit more reliable (rash guards IME are stretchy and I worry that the stretch will cause the fabric to lose its SPF).

I can't speak to the leg coolers, but I have a pair of the DeSoto arm coolers and don't much care for them. There's virtually no stretch to the fabric, so if your arms aren't the exact shape they're sewn in, they don't stay up. Functionally they work very well - they do get waterlogged fairly quickly, but even then they're no hotter than bare skin - but mine just don't stay up. I much prefer my Zoot arm coolers. They don't make leg coolers, but Sugoi makes both leg coolers and knee coolers using the same patented fabric that Zoot does. http://us-store.sugoi.com/collections/cooler-collection

I find the Craft arm coolers to be very comfortable. I bought them after a friend recommended them. She had tried several different brands and they were her favorite. I don't know if Craft also makes leg coolers.

I have problems with the fit of Sugoi shorts and tights. They all seem designed for women who have no fat at all from the waist down. I've never tried their leg coolers and it's been more than 10 years since I tried their leg warmers, so I don't know about the fit of those specific products.

Craft arm coolers. Buttery smooth and stretchy. No gel grips, just elastic inside the fabric. And Pearl Izumi Leg Coolers. Also buttery soft. No gel grips.

I had De Soto Arm Coolers, and gave them away, I hated them so much. I do have two pair of De Soto Cool Wings.
