Hi! As heatwave scorches Europe, the second problem I’m a little afraid of (especially as someone without any melanin in my skin) is the sun. I’ve seen someone mentioning a sun shirt but trying to find real information online is very confusing, especially with EU in mind ( I see US has something called UPF) and if you are not looking for ads. Maybe someone knows something about it?
I have an REI Sahara sun hoodie along with some Columbia omnishade vented fishing shirts and vented sunblocking pants from Ex Officio: They’re all effective and have kept me safe in 100F+ heat indexes from Vegas to New Orleans at the height of summer.
Straw hats help and cold wet towels are good too (especially in dry heat).
You can wet your clothes too, but that also reduces how much they shield you from UV.
