Does anyone have experience with the face masks used to keep you protected from the sun?
Seems like a good alternative to using sun screen.
I'm only finding ones at Jerry B's website on-line.
Where else are these found? |

The Buff sounds great from the reviews I've read. I guess if it helps with UV protection it should work pretty well against wind burn as well?
Has anyone used sungloves? My face and hands are all I leave exposed these days. The Buff seems a good solution for my face but my hands are my highest risk for skin problems.

| Wifey picked one up at Roy's last week, around $22.00, not sure if that is pricey or not! |

22 is about right,
I got the UV buff from roys, and it blocks like 95%, wear it every trip |

Yes they keep the wind burn down to nill, and I know some guys who bought the sungloves JerryB's carries and swear by them.
And as far as I know JerryB's is the only breathe like a fish dealer in Texas, but the cool thing about the Gildex face mask is the mesh over the mouth so your sunglasses don't fog up like they sometimes do with the buff

Big fan of the gildex. I have a breathlikeafish.com shirt with integrated face mask and it works great. I like the mesh opening.
