Default FACE NECK UV Protection HELP!!

Short Version:
WHAT can I do to give me FACE & NECK UVA/B protection that is NOT a lotion.

Longer Version:
I ride 7 days a wk abt 1,800 miles/month in S. Florida. Soon I will be riding ALL over the USA all summer long and in the Mohjave Desert in mid-August (I know STUPID but that is not the pont).

I have the lotion. I know there is cold/heat gear to wick away the moisture and keep you cool but I need UVA and UVB protection. <-- THAT IS what I need for my FACE and NECK.

UVA/B goes thru the bandanas I have tried. Some sites have UVA/B protection built into bandanas but they are not elastic like and hurt while wearing them. clothes over the face/neck hold heat in. The wick away stuff is not UVA/B protected.....HELP!

Any suggestions? IDEALLY something that is wick away WITH UVA/B and is elastic like. (I do not ask for too much do I?)

THANK YOU ALL in advance!!

Lotion or clothes, which you mentioned, and car, which Schumaker mentioned...I'm out of ideas after that.

Thanks for those 2 replies so far.

I just found (via an advert here) SunPrecautions.com and they MAY have both protection and wick away. I will call them later and see if they ahve both. If it is UVA/B only, then u sweat to death. Hopefully it will do both block the sun and wick away.

Looking for more input...............thanks.......

well, your question is sort of like asking "How not to get wet while taking a shower"

A full face helmet and a shirt with a collar is prob the best answer

I've got one of those. It's just a tube of stretchy nylon-like material. It makes a good warm weather neck gaiter and can be pulled up to cover much of your face.
