Now Bill, are you accusing Kevin of being a closet Canadian?

Well, that would work Zdenko, but what about the side effects

Throw all sunscreen away at the end of the season and buy new
End of the season...What's that?  Oh that's right, some people can't ride 12 months out of the year.
I left the house this morning at 6 am and did a breakfast run down to Huachuca City, and then out the other side of Tucson to visit some friends, about a 175 mile day. Since I was on the GTS, I was wearing my Raptor mesh jacket and mesh gloves along with a helmet. Got home at 1 pm, and fell asleep in the Lazy Boy watching MotoGP. I missed most of the 100+ temps we had this afternoon, and no sunburn. I do sweat more when wearing the jacket, but sweat is your body's way of cooling you down as long as you have air moving across you.
My wife, a redhead, just buys the Walmart SPF45 sunscreen in the big bottle, and doesn't get sunburned at all. She even has me smear it on in the places she can't reach, which is a good excuse for me to give her a proper molesting.

Hi folks,
Just a point of reference...if you wear a helmet that is closed in (full face), do not put sunblock on your face. The vapors will burn your eyes. I read that somewhere, but can't remember.

Heck, some of us cant help but wear sunscreen under our full face helmet. There is something different about living here in the High Desert. Unlike places that protect you with the clouds. ( oregon and Washington would be good examples here in the states ) When we full cloud cover here, it can be worse on you because u go outside not thinking about a sunburn. But the clouds here at a mile high dont filter out enough uv rays and you still get fried. And when it comes to a full face helmet. I have a new Arai with a tinted shield. Well, after a 500 mile ride Friday from Denver to Abq. I still got burned on my face through the shield, albeit not as bad as it would have been but my face is definately redder. If I was at sea level this would have been a non issue. Sure is interesting how mother nature works. Mark Oh, and we use the Banana Boat usually too. ( or whatever 30 or higher SPF the wife can fine on sale ) I was a lifeguard once too, best thing I used back then was definately Zinc Oxide. But it sure leaves you kinda pale looking!!

I do.
And it doesn't.
Could be though, that some brands may cause eye irritation. So, if it happens, use something else.
Like I mentioned earlier in this thread, the banana boat sunscreen stick works well on my nose and cheeks, the areas exposed under the full face helmet. Works on lips too, but mine are covered with hair

As a Melanoma survivor, I s'pose you could say I' m a connoisseur of fine sunblocks
The only brand I've found that comes close to feeling 'dry'
+1! SPF 70 though, wow! I'll have to look for that.
