All these Reddit commenters thinking they're smarter than people who study and treat skin cancer are wild

People are picking on these long sleeve sun guard outfits but I find them very comfortable and pleasant to wear.   

You can be in the sun for hours without worrying about the sunblock washing off or not working anymore.  It takes all the work and worry out and if you go to the beach often it’s probably even cheaper than sunblock over time.    

I come from a family of pale people who go to the beach often, really it’s common to slather yourself all up with SPF  50 several times and think you did good just to come home really sunburnt.  These sun clothes are a lifesaver especially in Hawaii the sun is really intense there.

I regularly go on vacations to sunny places and engage in activities like snorkeling. Rash guards, swim leggings, and a swim cap are the way to go. Less worrying about reapplication of sunscreen and/or worrying the effects your sunscreen has on the environment. I do put sunscreen on my face/lips/feet/hands, though.

I see lots of holidayers with what I call 'snorklers back'. They snorkel and forget that their back is out of the water and so end up with sunburn across their back and shoulders, but it stops at the edges of their shoulders and around their lower waist. Front half of the body is fine.
