Gear Guide: Women’s Sun-Protective Hiking Apparel


A few years ago, Health magazine’s art department named a color after me: “As tan as Su will ever get.” It was a very pale, pinky beige. I burn like a marshmallow over a campfire, so I never leave the house without slathering my exposed skin with sunscreen. Until recently, though, I’d never really given thought to the protection my clothes gave me. Turns out the average white t-shirt only provides a UPF of about 5—not much leeway, in my case. Seems I’m the perfect person to check out the new trend of UPF clothes.
