@mtn.alice: I barely hear sun protection being mentioned in the online outdoor community which is always so interesting to me. As much as I crave to be a matching set girly, I have basically strictly worn sun hoodies since I started hiking in 2019. I even wear sun hoodies on most of my road runs in town. I wear pants as often as I can, more for hiking than running. Our skin is our largest organ and doing outdoor activities exposes us soooooo much more to people who do their hobbies inside! Covering my skin is basically a non-negotiable and I think more people should view it that seriously.
I always talk about my “guide tan” which is just that my fingers are tan because I wear a sun hoodie every day

You can still get a tan when wearing sunscreen 😅 I wear zinc based sunscreen every day (I’m a red head) and always wear a sun hoodie when hiking and I have a tan line from my watch 😂

having more skin covered = less UV absorption, which means you literally stay cooler and more comfortable. Sun hoodies are top tier

Sun shirts for life. I haven’t worn anything but a sunshirt all summer with the sole exception of my friend’s wedding

Premature aging and skin cancer are no joke! My mom had skin from her thigh grafted to her nose after having skin cancer removed, and the discomfort she dealt with immediately after that is why I wear a sun hoodie, pants, sun gloves, and lots of sunscreen on my face whenever I hike/mountain bike.

Pro tip: switch the wrist you put your watch on to get even tan. I swear, people think that it’s illegal to wear your watch on the other wrist.

For real, I will never be caught without a sun hoodie & hat. I’m not trying to make my day harder by being fried by the sun 🤡
