The buffs I have been using actually cool me down, ALOT. I fish a lot in baja and the right breathable buff makes a world of difference with the heat. Just kind of hard to drink beer.

Buffs from the buff brand have a cool max feature. They can get a little steamy from your breath though, which can also fog your glasses. An anti fog helps though. I do find myself pulling it down past my mouth at times, but ears are always covered. I also prefer the buuf over the top of my head and the hat over that, which seems wrong, but KS more comfortable for me. Also wear as a head covering under my helmet when mountain biking, absolutely solved the problem of sweat in the eyes and glasses, and is comfortable as well. Just remember to wash them every now and again :D

Which sunscreen jimmy?

Right brand, but from personal experience the two you show won't last very long on the water. I always look for the ones that don't have the 80 minute limitation...

I've had a few rounds of Mohs surgery, fixing issues that came about because I didn't wear much sunscreen in my youth. The worst one was the top of the ear but luckily plastic surgery restored it.

I use Sol Sunguard BlueWater sunscreen. It is a mechanical block. It is sticky so it doesn't run when you sweat. It's actually hard to shower off at the end of the day. I also carry a tin of Headhunter War Paint and use it throughout the day on my nose, lips and ears.

I always cover up, light weight SPF clothing in the summer and waders/jacket in the winter.

I'll get the name for you when I get home from work. In my surfing days my go to sunscreen was Aloegator. It was the only one that stayed for while I was in the water and out on my face. I was pretty well covered up on the arms and legs with the wetsuit I had.

Sadly the best sunscreens are the ones that leave you looking casper like, but it's worth it.

Guys,
Know the difference between sunscreen and sunblock. Yes, there's a difference.

Sunscreen is made up of chemicals that absorb the sun's damaging rays and turn into free radicals. Free radicals are dangerous and require anti-oxidants to neutralize. These free radicals sit in your skin where your sunscreen has absorbed it. The UVA protection is questionable for sunscreens.

Sunblock is clothing or cream made up of titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. These metals prevent the sun from reaching your skin, so does the clothing. The problem is that no one likes the white lifeguard nose and the titanium and zinc are micronized, but then can enter the bloodstream.

I use a face buff, long sleeved shirt and a product call Blue Lizard. It has both titanium and zinc. It goes on thick so I don't want it on my face, but legs is ok, but takes some scrubbing in the shower to get it off.

The choice is yours...

I use mares full length swim pants, they breath and are comfortable.

Chemical sunscreens don’t sit on the surface of the skin – they soak into it and quickly find their way into the bloodstream. They scatter all over the body without being detoxified by the liver and can be detected in blood, urine, and breast milk for up to two days after a single application. That would be just fine if they were uniformly safe – but they’re not.

large straw hats and long sleeves are the way to go!

get a bottle of "headhunter" from your local surf shop, it is absolutely the best screen there is. Put it on one time, don't need to use a lot (its worth the 10-15$ a tube). I burn easy and this one is my go-to I have worn it on all day offshore trips with 1 application in the morning and found myself finding some behind my ear after 3-4 showers later.

Thanks, I will check it out.

I've used that as well. It does apply well and doesn't feel thick and pasty, but it doesn't seem to prevent burns as well for me. It's that or maybe I'm usually just too flushed after a day out.
