The best sunscreen for sports!

[simon Lythgoe]

If you want a high factor sunscreen that:

a) lasts the length of a ride
b) doesn't rub off on your clothing - good for multi-sports when you change clothing
c) isn't greasy, giving you slippy hands on your bars
d) doesn't smell (P20 honks)
e) good for sensitive skin - mine's baby soft

Dang, recently bought some stuff from Boots (Soltan) SPF50 and sweatproof but you have to reapply every couple of hours (bit hard when you're slick with sweat).

And of course, there's not much reason to wear sunblock this year...

I have a box of samples (small will fit in a pocket) of this sunscreen I'll bring to the CSS tomorrow.

All I ask is that if you take one (and like it) please say something nice on Amazon, Facebook, Twitter or wherever you hang out online..... yes even those places.

It's my Dad's company and they've been developing the stuff for about 15 years. They've spent 'every' penny developing this stuff and don't have a bean for marketing, but they've still managed to get listings in Boots and other big multiples which is testament to how good the product is. But they're looking for all the help they can get to try and create some momentum. Although I have a vested interest this really is the best product on the market, but "don't take my word for it" as a certain shaven gent used to say.

I'll try to hold the box out so you can see me.
Lets hope it's sunny after that

A rather belated thank you to Simon for the free sample he handed out on the club run, it's a belated thank you for a reason though, I wanted to test it and see what it was like.

Basically it does everything Simon said and is an excellent sun protection. When I first used it it was rather odd squirting what looked like shaving foam on my hand/arm/leg but it works really well and allows you to apply where you want it with ease. It doesn't smell at all and is completely non-greasy, infact it rubs in to dry so there is no residue left on your body or oily/greasy mark on your clothes (end of the sleeve of your jersey for example). As there is no residue it can be applied out and about without leaving your hands greasy which is a big plus.

I've been using it, when we've had sun, ever since Simon gave me the sample and the protection it has given has been as good as any I've used before - I normally use the usual big names like Nivea and Amber Solaire. This includes everything from the commute to 4 and 5 hours out on the bike, and when helping George in his 12hr which meant being out in the sun all day from dawn to dusk. No problems, arms never felt warm which is the giveaway that you're starting to burn.

Once again thanks to Simon, I don't use Facestalk or Twatter but definitely recommend this stuff and will be buying and using it in future.

...and that's a recommendation from a fair skinned, freckley red-head. This stuff is good.
