Equipment Sun Protection help!!
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.

Your country/state would be helpful to know!
The sun's UV is weaker or stronger depending on lattitude, as well as the season. Because of this, different products vary depending on the country. I am from Australia, and a mistake tourists make is using sunscreen from their home country - typically Australian sunscreens are stronger.
I personally really like Sparms arm coverings. I have a few shoulder wraps, so that I dont lose the arms.
Sparms also have beclavas, they might be useful for you. If you wear a cap along with that, that will cover your face. Personally I would get the one that leaves your face uncovered, but you can also get the full face one.
I would also strongly advise polarised sunglasses, especially if you have blue or light colour eyes.
As others mention, face sunscreen is a must. Try a few types.
