Default NEED Mask For Sun Block

I am looking for something VERY specific so please do not get off the topic with substitutions.

I am looking for something to wear that will cover my face AND neck for BOTH UVA and UVB 100% protection.

NOT ointment type sunblock.
NOT the hard mask made of neoprene or such.

It MUST be a soft material that covers face & neck that is 100% UVA and UVB.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance!!

What about the buffs that flats fishermen wear? They are lightweight and work well.

They have them at Bass Pro Shops too.

I've got a nylon/spandex tube thing that came with my Caberg helmet a few years back. Use it in the summer to cover from up under my helmet, over my ears & nose, and down over my neck.

Similar to this, but mine is lighter and has more nylon/spandex:


tube scarf

Yep, that's probably even closer to what I use than the one I posted.

I'll second this: Get one of the UV Buffs.

Time to visit Bass Pro.

+1 on the use of a buff, have one. If you want a UV sunblock and not cloth protection try this

Good thread. I am REALLY fair and burn after about 10 minutes in the sun. I also have a NASTY case of hay fever, and think these might help with that, too. I think I'm gonna get one of those buff from Orvis. I may check some local fishing shops over here as well - lotsa those in Japan, but since Asian people don't burn real easy, they may not sell them here...

I found these in case you're interested in protecting your arms, too.

I guide on the rivers in Montana in the summer and I need to protect my face as you mentioned. Buy a Buff. They are extremely lightweight, comfortable and will protect you from UV rays.

Go online or some of the sporting goods stores are starting to carry them.
