hey nogeese

i'm a tennis pro so i know my sun protection

wide brim hat FOR SURE - as for suncreens - 2 formulas

the "baby" sun blocks use titanium dioxide and if it is good enough for a baby, then it is good enough for me - that stuff works - use 48 or higher - i have a bunch of banana boat "baby magic" - use to be sponsored by them

also, there is a new neutrogena spf 85 with helioplex - you come back whiter than when you left - it works good

i'm ready to go with you sometime

second the nuetrogena. i only use the spf 55 though. doesn't leave my hands and face all greasy.

I use a tacoed up cowboy hat� Works well and keep me lookin like the redneck that I am� Also use SPF 50 for good measure...

Down in Florida, I have seen the guides/fisherman wear (and I have seen this on television as well) a stocking looking thing that covers your face, neck, ears. They are taking the sun and threat of cancers very seriously down there, and it seems to work for them, but I wouldn't suggest walking into a bank .

Not certain about the name, but they use them. I noticed them sold in a bait-n-tackle store in Tampa, and almost purchased one.

Ski Masks???? In Texas??? Sounds like it would be uncomfortable. Covering the face neck and ears just sounds HOT!!!!!

They are called SunMasks - about $25.00 Most Florida fishermen and guides are using them...
Cheaper that lot's of $8 sun screen.... I hate it when the sunscreen gets on the part of my nose so my sunglasses slip down or it gets in my eyes...
I have been thinking about getting a mask for those really bright long summer days that I always get cooked in...

gottabefishn,

You buy one and try it out. Let me know how it works. It still looks HOT to me. If they aren't too hot, I could get one for my bald head!!!! And my neighbor Texasredneck70 could use one for his chrome-dome too. His would have to be for a XXXL head!!!!

those arent sun masks, they are fishing ninjas...

They are known as buffs. You can buy them on the net at www.buffwear.com or at www.basspro.com or do a search for buffs the original headwear. I have one and just ordered 3 more of the high uv models for fishing. The high uv models are made of coolmax and screen 95% of the uv rays. Almost all the guides in Florida wear them. If you see something around the neck of a guide on tv, likely it is a buff that they have pulled down for the camera.
