Re: [RC] Australian Endurance... - Kristene Smuts

Thanks!  I'll go do some shopping now ;-))  Our exchange rate is getting better 
by the day, so hopefully I won't have to take out another loan on the house 
just to buy one shirt!

Cheers
Kristene

 >>I suspect that the concern here is that Australia, New Zealand, South
Africa and all those close-to-the-ozone-hole countries have HORRENDOUS
rates of skin cancer.>>

Yes, we have a real problem here (and the other countries).  I am a 
sun lover by nature, but I'm really very cautious when it comes to 
exposure.  Our sun screen factors (mine, at any rate) runs to 30+. 
I have been very naughty in riding with sleeveless tees, but I think 
this season I have to start covering up.  My main problem is that 
shirts stick to skin which annoys me terribly, so I think I'll do 
some research into cycling clothing.

The Australians have a very good sun protection program - all the 
kids go to school in wide brimmed hats and swim in long sleeve (or 
3/4 sleeve) swimsuits designed by the Cancer Association.
