Anything over spf 30 is a marketing gimmick.

Coopertone Sport. Think of it this way - how many sports can you think of that having a slippery residue on your hands would not impair performance? Tennis? Golf? Baseball [well pitching might be helpful]? It's my sunscreen of choice.

Nifty Idea. My face etc. is usually taken care of by my FF helmet. The drop down sun shield prevents much sun exposure. However, my arms take a beating in the sun. This looks like a handy solution without having to cake on a bunch of sun screen. I may have to try them out. Thanks for the tip.

Yup.

I burn like a mother instead of tanning. Always have. In my experience this stuff is the best now available. Neutrogena USED to offer a Sport version of the same stuff that stayed on better.

I use the 70 spf stick. Small easy to carry and use.

Neutrogena Sport. Protects well, stays on, SPF up to 70, doesn't smell like the beach. Less greasy than other sport sunscreens.
