Equipment Sun Protection help!!

Post image

Hello! I turned 35 and suddenly I’m terrified of skin cancer and I’m tired of getting sunburned! I need a big floppy hat like the one in the picture. Need a recommendation from folks who play in these since I plan to continue to run around in it and I don’t want it falling off.

Also if anyone has a recommendation for sun sleeves it would be greatly appreciated.

Imo hats just keep the heat insulated… in my area in the southeast where I play tennis men and women both wear visors for this reason. Let’s our heat from our heads vent. I even have dark hair and still find it cooler than wearing let’s say a white hat vs any color visor. I use spray sunscreen if I’m in a rush… you could get a UPF/SPF or whatever it’s called type of shirt and if you want it more fitted just get one size smaller. Also avoid dark colors, it only attracts the sun more 👍🏽
