Problems with the sun

[adal]

My shoulders and back just can't adapt to the sun. I continue to get sunburns, even with 70+ lotions. Some time ago I had a suit, that covered shoulders and back, but this was an experimental suit for speed skaters and is not produced any more. Had to throw it away, because it was so used up, that it was not decent to wear any more :-)

Do you know of any tri-suits with longer sleeves? I tried a tritop with sleeves (Skinfit), but it baloons up when I ride after swimming and feels extremely unaero. Same with cooling shirts, love them for running, but too loose for the bike.

I envy people, who tan up, I only know white -> pink -> red -> peel -> white again .

I like to wear one of these under my tri kit when its cooler: http://www.desotosport.com/product/LST1

One of these when its going to be a bit warmer or the race is non-wetty legal so I can put on quick in T1: http://www.desotosport.com/product/CW

No more sunburns and when you keep it wet the breeze you generate from moving creates an evaporative cooling effect. On colder days, keep it dry and it will keep you warmer.

They fit snug so no aero compromise. Been using these for years.

Cheers.
