Now that summer is almost here, I’m looking for better ways to protect myself from the sun. I generally dislike sunscreen, but I do wear it while riding.
The helmet visor “Da Brim” (website) caught my attention. Since I wear a huge-ass sombrero-style hat when I’m off the bike, I’m fine with the way Da Brim looks.
For context, some of my summer rides might have me in 8-10+ hours of sun, which isn’t good, even with sunscreen on. If Da Brim can make the experience more tolerable, I’m in!
I’m curious to hear from anyone who has one, and what their experience has been.
Iirc, there is a bill up that would change that. Which, surprisingly, has bipartisan support.
Edit: yup, even maga support. Mike Lee thanks AOC for bringing up the issue, and here’s the bill.
It looks like the best regulations currently for UVA and UVB would be the EU.
One thing to look out for with the imported stuff is that it’s not a counterfeit product. There are a lot of reports about that, including a lot of dermatologists testing them live on video and showing some counterfeits being less than 1% of the claimed effectiveness.
Keep safe in the sun folks!
