The FDA and dermatologists acknowledge that anyone that spends extended time outdoors or at altitude should consider an effective sunblock and lip protection. Prolithic Sports stocks the finest sunscreens and sunblock products available, including SolRx sunblocks.
Here's another reason to consider sunblock. A recent Oregon State University study suggests that wearing sunscreen may actually decrease skin and body temperature. The mechanism is thought to be that lotion sunblocks add moisture to the skin thus increasing evaporative cooling. This puts to rest the myth that sunblocks clog pores and inhibit cooling.
