20 years of cycling, I've never worn gloves... Problem solved
Tan line solutions?? Gloves and shirts/jerseys??
I'm sure many of us deal with this issue.. Nothing is worse than my glove tan lines.. Its something I cannot hide.. I look stupid with white hands and tan arms.. lol
That being said.. Are there any gloves or Jerseys that "allow" UV light to pass through?
I know that they make bathing suits that allow you to tan through them.. (Mostly for girls and no, they are not see through)
Anything?
THANKS

I take pride in my glove tan lines. Problem solved.
The helmet vent tan pattern on my bald head is another matter.

Between cycling and diving, I just stopped caring about goofy tan lines.

Except for when you take off your pants and a girl starts laughing......happened to me once. Thank god she was laughing at my tan lines. :thumbsup:
Dual purpose -> use sun screen. Prevents the lines and skin cancer.
edit on my stupid mistake: sun screen not lotion!

I was reading that sun tan lotion doesn't decrease the chances of getting skin cancer. Not sure how true it was.squareslinky said:Dual purpose -> use sun tan lotion. Prevents the lines and skin cancer.
I wear sleeveless jerseys whenever I can, it avoids the really dorky looking tan lines on the arms. Gotta wear gloves, I'd rather have tan lines than remove skin in a crash. As for legs, regular shorts got that covered.
that's interesting as I thought that was the main purpose of the stuff.

PRIDE!
In the 1970's tan lines were considered attractive.

Yea I always thought it was to just PREVENT sunburns, not prevent skin cancer. I don't know. Meh lolmartinrjensen said:that's interesting as I thought that was the main purpose of the stuff.
yep, can't wait for the questions at work about that after a couple long weekend rides in the sun.AlanE said:The helmet vent tan pattern on my bald head is another matter.
Tan lines should be a source of pride, not shame. Wearing sleeveless jerseys? - the cure is worse than the disease...
squareslinky said sun tan lotion. Maybe he meant sun screen. They're 2 different products. I'm not at all sure sun tan lotion is an effective product to help prevent skin cancers. Dermatologists universally say to use sun screen, the higher # the better. I usually wear 50.
Yea, the extra patch of tan skin will eventually end up killing youqatarbhoy said:Tan lines should be a source of pride, not shame. Wearing sleeveless jerseys? - the cure is worse than the disease...
