Sun Protection While Soaring - UPF 50+ Clothing
That matches my experience. It basically depends on the glider.
So, I spend a lot of time outdoors. Skiing, cycling, and soaring. I like to use all tools available to me to protect myself from the sun. I wear neck protection while skiing ALL THE TIME now. It works great!
I have Eddie Bauer Travex SPF button-down shirts, Columbia hiking shirts, cycling jersey's, Voler Sunskin sleeves and many rash guards.
These Coolibar products are new. They have a unique approach, great fabrics, great product designs and I like them.
The Adros Shirt I have is a hooded shirt! I wear it as a turtleneck until I deploy the hood and facemask, under my bucket hat. It's nearly 100% coverage! It has long sleeves with finger loops, so I can wear it without gloves if I want!
I think they are great. I use them when I have ground duty at the soaring club, as well as when I fly.
I highly recommend you outdoorsy folks add one to your sun protection arsenal!
