Sun Protection

  • Shelta Hats (range of sun protection clothing)
  • SilverBack light paddle clothing, rash guards, sun protection
  • Sunglasses
    • Highly recommended for your eye protection
    • Get with both UVA and UVB blocking
    • Wider angle coverage is better - ie wrap around
    • Polarization?
      • Can depend on specific types of glare and water (river, lake, sea) whether it helps or hinders depth perception - become familiar and have alternate options for when you do and do not want polarized lenses.
    • On Water Considerations
      • Use Croakie or some strap to prevent loss
      • Fogging, may be a bigger problem in cold weather
        • Some glasses are advertised as having designs that reduce this - seems to help with some of them
        • Use same methods that divers use with masks - saliva, soap, or commercial anti-fog solution such as Op-Drops.
        • Droplets - keep front of lenses clear of puddles with something like RainX for plastic - works on GoPros too. Reapply regularly.
