For longer trips I wear my FF helmet and I always wear long sleeves anyway. The only place I need to apply sunscreen is the back of my neck so I don't become a redneck.

Thanks for the replies. I should have mentioned it is my face and nose that gets burned. I don't worry about the back of my neck since it is red already. I will try to get some of the Bullfrog stuff and try it. Been using the sunscreen and I guess it is helping but still get a little red.

Not a damn thing. I work outside all year. Want to stop from getting sunburned? Get outside more.

Try one of those mesh riding jackets, you'll be surprised how good they work. Then all you have to worry about is your face and neck.

Mask (its dusty around where i ride) long sleeves and pants. Beanie hat which has almost become a trademark with the guys i ride with but with a shaved head it burns easy. Cant stand sunscreen.
