Being Irish in Arizona and riding 5000 mi/yr is I would say "tempting fate' wrt skin cancer and at least a recipe for premature wrinklosis.

I've seen Boure jerseys (Ned Overend) and Voler jerseys with a fabric called SQ Pro with Mynx UV that is supposed to confer about SPF 50 protection.

Anyone know of any other brands out there with decent SPF factors, or undershirts with such. I also remember seeing a Craft jersey somewhere in one of last year's catalogues (maybe "Competitive Cyclist") with SPF 50 but I can't find it again at the Craft website.

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to add that RIT (the clothing dye maker) produces a wash-in SPF product that confers SPF 30 for 15-20 washings... I've used that in the past.
