Yes, unless there's tree or cloud cover. In desert, I wear long sleeves, hat, bandana on my neck, and sunglasses. When hiking I even take a sun umbrella to prevent overheating.
Why? You seem to live in a place where white people are perfectly suited to live. Why fear the sun at such a place? I get Americans doing it since that continent is cursed but isn't that Europe?
I was only on holiday unfortunately. I’ve got pasty white skin for surviving in bongland so when I go to the mountains the uv cooks me alive. I was PrepHole every day for about a month without anywhere to shower on that trip so I had to do something to stop me frying. Sunscreen just runs off when you’re sweating and also when you’re washing in streams and stuff it’s pretty shitty for the environment. Looking through the old photos again now, gawd I cannot wait to go back
It’s not hot and humid 100% of the time, just most of the time. So I’ve gotten accustomed to just using the umbrella. I think this was a long road walk between trails. It may have been a Big Bend trip as well, or during a typical late spring weather pattern; I’m really not sure.
I also live in a very hot and humid environment. I wear long pants and long shirts every day out of the year. Sun protection isn't layers. It's one layer that covers your skin. It's not that bad. I also wear cotton everything in the summer except my socks. I wear wool socks year round.
Looks British and therefor moronic. Don’t forget: the Brits lost thousands of limbs and fingers (and hundreds of lives) to frostbite because they refused to adopt the Eskimos way of dressing for years. Just straight up stubborn moronation that ended up killing people in the Canadian wilderness. Truly and utterly moronic.
Your pic is a great example as well: >it’s 110°F/45°C >humidity over 9,000% >wears a fricking coat
Meanwhile the natives are damn near naked because it’s the best way to beat the heat (pic rel)
Well I thought it felt pretty good but now that you've said that yea
Unironically though, you really don't like the feel of gym shorts? I find they to be supremely comfortable but tbh I am not so sensitive that I think about the material. Only reason it's synthetic is for the performance properties.
I have champion brand cotton gym shorts that I wear around the house freeballing. I don't like wearing the plastic gym shorts without cotton underwear. I just would never wear a fuking plastic base layer tee shirt they feel horrible
Zonagay here. I have a cape hat similar to this. Long sleeves even when it's hot. The sun destroys anything left outside. Most plastic and synthetic cloth disintegrates in one summer.
Arizona. I mean anything left outside, like clothes line or poly tarp or kids' toys. Black trash bags get semi-melted and sticky on a hot day. Total plastic death.
I have a telescope mount on a steel pier. Instead of a canvas grill cover, I keep it covered with an inverted stainless steel pot. After replacing my clothes line annually for a few years, I switched to stainless cable.
Dumb. You’re going to have to buy something to protect yourself from the elements. “Sun protection” was on the original Mountaineers 10 essentials from like 120 years ago.
Inb4 “I just build an umbrella from banana leaves I find at the trailhead and weave a hat from grasses I pick along the way.”
I have shit skin and literally stay inside because of it yeah I'm a sheltered domesticated human, anyways. I came here looking for advice on UV protection while camping, and waddya know a thread on it. I also have the greasiest cystic acne filled skin ever, I'll probably have to get my oil glands zapped before I can ever enjoy myself outside.

Yes. Because I'm not a fricking moron or brownoid.
yes
imagine letting your skin turn brown, yuck
>why yes I am Bedouinpilled, how could you tell?
Can’t wait for more summer outings without getting all sticky and yucky from having to use sunscreen.

I'm trans btw not sure if that matters
I live in a hot and humid environment. Extra layers are a bad idea.
That's the wrong shirt for a hot and humid environment, dingus.

Sophisticates wear long-sleeved linen shirts and linen slacks in the tropics, slob.

You will never be colonizerpilled with that attitude. The British Raj was peak huwyte man
Short shorts totally fit my Bush War arc. I’m such an apartheidpilled Boercell.
>the natives are damn near naked
The natives are highly melanated. And stupid.
I never wear sunscreen unless it's truly insane outside or I'm out of the trees
I hike in gym shorts and synthetic t shirt
>wearing plastic
>larping this hard
It feels bad on your skin though.
Well I thought it felt pretty good but now that you've said that yea
Unironically though, you really don't like the feel of gym shorts? I find they to be supremely comfortable but tbh I am not so sensitive that I think about the material. Only reason it's synthetic is for the performance properties.
I don't even wear underwear
I have champion brand cotton gym shorts that I wear around the house freeballing. I don't like wearing the plastic gym shorts without cotton underwear. I just would never wear a fuking plastic base layer tee shirt they feel horrible
>no you NEED to drown yourself in plastic 100% of the time, not wanting to constantly be exposed to plastic is a larp and literally lying!
Life is too short to be worry about microplastics entering through my gym short, schizo
I just go linen shirt and cowboy hat.

Man what where do you live? Texas? That is not my experience

Holy shit haha well there you go. I simply wouldn't survive out there. Didn't it hit 130 in some parts of your state this year?
That shits gay bro I just wear a cheap cowboy hat.
I enjoy the freedom of giving zero fricks what anyone thinks of the way I dress.
Yeah so many people in phoenix wear cowboy hats beside pisas.
I do not. I just wear whatever is appropriate for the weather. No hat or sunglasses.

Only in early spring until I get a good base layer tan going.
Tanning is fine, burning is not.
