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 Xterra 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.
Xterra Sun Protection Products:
Xterra Sunblocks are the only product ever tested to have 100% effectiveness after 8 hours in or out of water. One application truly lasts all day. In lab tests performed by major FDA testing labs, Xterra Sunblock (and the other label names this manufacturer uses) were the only sunblocks to pass the 8-hour test with zero wash off. All other sunblocks tested wore out.
Xterra Sunblock is available in SPF 30 plus and SPF 44, SPF 30 Lip Ice Sticks and Lip/Nose Balm Jars. The Lip Ice is wax based and lasts approximately 2 hours (all wax based sticks last about this long because they are licked off). The Lip/Nose Balm is in a silicon base and will last about 4 hours on the lips.
