Transcript

00:00Glove tans, lobster knees, and a neck that looks like bacon?

00:04If that sounds familiar, you know exactly what we're talking about.

00:08Let's get real about sunscreen, because every writer has a story,

00:12and nobody wants theirs to end with a sunburn.

00:15You might think you've got it all covered.

00:17You slather sunscreen on your face, arms, maybe your nose for good measure.

00:21But somehow, the sun always finds its way in.

00:24Maybe you're cruising down an open road, wind in your face, feeling invincible.

00:30But under those gloves? Sharp, weird tan lines.

00:33Your knees? Suddenly redder than your brake lights.

00:37And as for the back of your neck, you won't notice until you take off your helmet

00:41and realize you're sporting a crispy, bacon-like stripe.

00:44It's sneaky, isn't it?

00:46Motorcycle sunburns don't feel like regular sunburns.

00:49The wind cools you down, so you barely notice the heat.

00:53You're enjoying the ride, the scenery, the whole experience.

00:56And the last thing on your mind is whether your knees are getting toasted.

01:00But as soon as you step off the bike, it hits you.

01:03The sting, the awkward tan lines, and the regret.

01:07And all because the sun doesn't care how cool you look on your bike.

01:11Why does this happen, even when we're wearing gear?

01:14Here's the thing.

01:16Even with full coverage, UV rays are persistent.

01:19Mesh jackets might keep you ventilated, but they also let sunlight through.

01:23Roll up your sleeves at a rest stop, and you've just created a perfect target for the sun.

01:29Vented pants?

01:31Same deal.

01:32As soon as you relax, the sun is waiting.

01:35And don't forget, if you're riding at high altitudes or in the desert, the sun's power ramps up.

01:42It's stronger, faster, and way more brutal than you'd expect.

01:45So, what's the fix?

01:48It's all about being smart before you ride, not after.

01:52First, always apply sunscreen at least 20 minutes before gearing up.

01:57Once your gloves are on and your jacket's zipped, it's already too late for a last-minute slather.

02:03Look for SPF 50+, and make sure it's water and sweat resistant.

02:09Sport or outdoor formulas are your best bet.

02:11They're made for moving, sweating, and long hours outside.

02:15Don't forget the hidden zones.

02:17Your knees, especially if you're wearing shorts or mesh pants, are prime targets.

02:22The backs of your hands and wrists?

02:24They're exposed every time your gloves shift.

02:27The back of your neck, right under the helmet line, takes a beating from the sun.

02:31And under your chin, too, where sunlight bounces up from the road or even your gas tank.

02:36Make it easy to reapply.

02:38A travel-sized sunscreen stick or spray fits perfectly in your tank bag or jacket pocket.

02:44At your next gas stop, swipe it on.

02:47No mess, no excuses.

02:50And if you really want to go the extra mile, look for gear with built-in UV protection.

02:55There are jackets, sleeves, and gaiters specifically designed to block the sun's rays,

03:01keeping you cool and covered while you ride.

03:04Because here's the truth.

03:05Sunburns ruin rides.

03:07They make every mile uncomfortable, every stop a little more painful, and every story a little less fun.

03:13Protect your skin now so you're not limping into the next state looking and feeling like a cooked shrimp.
