    Got a little too much sun the other day and realised that if this weather keeps up or I manage to do any running on holidays, then I'm going to have to start wearing sun cream while running (yuck), or find some light weight, long sleeve tops that are UV protective (and wear a hat and sunglasses).
    Any recommendations?

    If Raidlight's gear is good enough for many on the MdS, it should do the trick here :D

    Yeah, and with the 3-5 days shipping, you know the day it arrives, the sun will disappear :). I have the Raidlight Sahara hat and while I'm sure I looked ridiculous (guys with me were kind enough not to leave me in any doubt), it kept my neck/ears burn free for a long trek/run/chat in the Wicklow mountains over the weekend.

    For the arms, a more versatile solution might be a pair of arm cooler sleeves with a t-shirt like the Columbia Omni-Freeze.
