A long sleeve 50 UPF surfing shirt. I did get it 5 or 6 years ago, so it’s done it’s time. I took it to Greece recently, got burnt, looked online and saw that they don’t last forever. Putting 2 + 2 together I think that the sun marks on my shoulders have probably been caused by the last few times I’ve been in full blown tropical sun erroneously thinking I was protected.
I learned the hard way recently that UV protective clothing doesn’t work for the lifetime of the fabric, and it isnt always possible to recondition the fabric to resist uv rays. So, even though it is cheaper and easier than buying sunscreen, it’s still a consumable item.
