Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / June 2009Waking up and sun protection....
Starting a new post here, other one is too long to add right now. Seems a little tiff always perks us up..... but I too check this NG daily and things are so slow, I figure you all are asleep or hibernating in the summer shade.... Remember folks, it is SUMMER TIME, and or what ever time... DON'T FORGET YOUR SUNBLOCK, SUN HAT, SUNSHIRT AND SUN PANTS. Rit sunguard works good on jeans and Cabellan's new line of sun shirts are soft and resonably priced...bye on line is good. Sizes are what you normall take in a shirt. LESS than some. I did hear Walmart will eventually or has put out clothes that has some sun resistance in them? anyone hear that? janers > Starting a new post here, other one is too long to add right now. > Seems a little tiff always perks us up..... [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > janers I am wearing a 'Natural Gear" brand shirt. I now have 3 of these and they are my favorites. Long sleeves, SPF30, passport zippered pocket, wonderful soft microfiber cloth. Very cool! We purchased them at Sam's Club for about $18. I have many other shirts from "Travelsmith", "Columbia, "Cabellas" and other makers which all cost more, much more. These 'Natural Gear" shirts are currently available here in the Phoenix area Sam's Clubs. This is the second time we have seen them there. It would be nice if I could come up with something similar in a hat. These straw hats are nice but in our weather (108F today) they get a bit gamey from the sweat and they are not washable. Ideas anyone? George >> Starting a new post here, other one is too long to add right now. >> Seems a little tiff always perks us up.....

[quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> > Long sleeve shirts in 108F do not sound very cool (pun intended) After living all of these years in this desert it took Lupus to teach me why covering up in the correct apparel is healthier and much cooler. MUCH cooler! Watching the field workers and others who work outside here they are usually covered as much as possible. And usually not with the nice light weight clothing we wear, sometimes even flannel! BTW, todays Cabella's ad is offering Long sleeve light weight nylon fishing shirts with sun protection for $14.95. Now to check out the hats Janers suggested. George >>>> Starting a new post here, other one is too long to add right now. >>>> Seems a little tiff always perks us up.....

Lou > Starting a new post here, other one is too long to add right now. > Seems a little tiff always perks us up..... [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > janers Forgot to mention the light weight nylon cargo/fishing trousers that I find in the sporting goods stores. Also SPF30 and very cool. Prices here around $20. They match my sunblocker shirts and I love the price! George Did you ever buy a Tilley hat? If you loose it, or wear it out, or whatever, they replace it free. I have 2 of them, one a bucket and one with a larger brim all the way around. You get a lifetime guarantee with them and they keep your records as you keep the one you give them. There are many styles. Price is a little high but for the money they can't be beat. These are washable. www.tilley.com or amazon has some too. Tilley Hats at Amazon.com www.Amazon.com/Apparel if you get the kind that are mesh they are the best for cooler heads? if you get my drift LOL janers > Did you ever buy a Tilley hat?

Also surprised to find I already have two of these hats in the "duck' fabric that were gifts. This fabric is too heavy for our climate and the brims too small but there are many other candidates on the amazon site. Off to hat shopping as soon as I can walk again.

I got him the one with the ear and neck protector and the long bill for fishing... he loves it! See also that the prices are so much less than the Tilley hats... they are Canadian, but they are so expensive lol; I am not loyal to them <g>! anyhow.. see what you think.. Also Solumbra is another good alternative online and they send catalogues for you to peruse via snail mail... hugs, Shelagh ps: BELOW message "Shelagh" <systemiclupus@shaw.ca> wrote in message > http://www.coolibar.com/men-s-hats.html > Try this site George; I got my MOTH one as he had pre cancerous lesions > on his 'balding' head... and the hats are light weight and a cool micro [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > hugs, > Shelagh PS: Solumbra is a line off this innovative line of sun protective clothing.... http://www.sunprecautions.com/ > ps: BELOW message > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > Solumbra is a line off this innovative line of sun protective clothing.... > http://www.sunprecautions.com/ Thanks, I have checked out both sites and ordered the catalog. BTW, I removed the tags from my new "Natural Gear" Sam's club shirt today and it says it is UPF40 rather than the 30 I mentioned before.

George, is there a site on line for that Natural gear with UVF40? I can't find it anywhere. There is natural gear but nothing about sun protection. thanks janers > George, is there a site on line for that Natural gear with UVF40? I > can't find it anywhere.

Also I have found there is nylon and there is nylon. The soft luxurious fabric in the Natural Gear shirts is nylon as are many others I have but they wick better and look better. Cotton isn't as efficient for me cause I "sweat real good". 8>) Happy hunting!

No cotton in it that I can detect, but possibly organic cotton... I have a couple of sweaters made of that and it is not like the 'cotton' we know normally, at all... take care, stay cool! hugs, Shelagh > George, is there a site on line for that Natural gear with UVF40?

There is natural gear but > nothing about sun protection. > > thanks > janers OK, I'm holding another of my new Natural Gear shirts in my hand and I will give you the UPC code from it. 8 7744900643 2 is the UPC code. NG-TS-900 is another number that may be the item number. This particular shirt is "Desert" in color. Taupe maybe. They also come in a green and blue. One should be able to call WalMart in Arkansas and inquire about availability. The tag says they are distributed by: Mahco, Inc. Bentonville, AR 72712 This is also where Walmart & Sam's Club are headquartered. We have found these shirts at Sam's twice now so maybe they are going to be a standard product. I hope so, I love them! Now, can anyone tell me if it is sinful to post a picture to a NG? It seems it would be helpful when trying to describe things. Good luck, George > Did you ever buy a Tilley hat? If you loose it, or wear it out, or whatever, they replace it free. > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > janers Thanks Lou |
