Re: Avoiding the sun.
My collection of hats is a sight to behold, I only carry an umbrella for rain avoidance (not drizzle, there ARE limits) and fighting my way up and down Adelaide Street.
En Garde! |

P. However the partner goes to work covered by sun safety regs set by the project owner. UV 50 long pants, shirt, sleeves MUST be down not rolled up , hard hat with full sun cape ( neck ) attached, UV sunglasses and theres bulk sunblock in all the offices/lunchrooms. Makes me laugh when poms talk of being a tradie in the great weather :blink: only bit of tradies you can see on that site it their chins:rofl: Sons last employer here before he moved OS was the same. |

Re: Avoiding the sun.
I just tried it:thumbsup:
Lunchtime, no hat in car, UV 13 today (despite being V cloudy ), large silver and navy umbrella in car, reminded me of thread, walked the entire main street with brolly up. I assumed I would get funny looks, but nope not one, have got more 'looks' when wearing legionaires hat. Gives you a mass of shade, far better than hat:thumbup: |
Re: Avoiding the sun.
I hate wearing hats and so have always used an umbrella when I have to be out in the sun. :)

Re: Avoiding the sun.
Don't want to appear 'picky' but holding a brolly over your head isn't going to stop you getting burnt or cancer, the UVA/B rays are still going to get you. Carry a brolly by all means, you'd still need sunscreen.
Hate carrying brollies when it rains, they're a pain in the neck, let alone carrying one on a hot sweaty day. |

Re: Avoiding the sun.
I get sunstroke ridiculously easily; they prevent that at times when I don't want to wear a hat.
