The UV Index and why your canopy is your friend
You might include additional warnings, since we're WARNING and PLACARD
happy he
"To avoid injury to eyes, soar with eyes closed."
This has been shown effective in reducing the fear factor, too.
FWIW, I plan to keep using my Ray Ban G-15 lenses, heavy as they are,
and the "Water Babies" (easier on the eyes) SPF 30, 40 or 50 (when I
can find it), the ubiquitous soaring cap (which some folks feel are
more effective than BCG's worn by us engineers), and of course, lip
balm.
Those that know me will attest to the fact that I come in two colors:
1.) pale and 2.) extra-crispy.
Thanks, Eric...until now I hadn't thought to try and quantify wether
the canopy acted as a filter or a magnifying glass...of course, the
sports canopy on my 1-26 adds another factor: windburn!
Cheers,
