Yes, Leah I never have been a fan of slathering chemicals on my skin either; then I heard last year that the typical sunscreen was getting absorbed into the bloodstream! That seemed like it was probably not a good thing and just reinforced my resolve not to use it. Between the fact that I've been riding in sunny Texas for 52 years and with the Global Warming it just seems to get hotter and more sunny every year. I had to start covering my skin; arms, nose & neck especially. Problem for me is finding something that does the job, isn't too hot and fits my idea of what appropriate cycling gear should look like. Unfortunately most sun specific bike gear errs towards a super technical look that's kind of overkill OR more genteel, stuff that looks like it's perfect for sitting around in & drinking iced tea on the veranda. I may be old enough to be a grandpa, but I'm not one and I do make an effort to not reinforce the geriatric stereotype. Maybe one day I'll stop dressing like a teenager, but I doubt it. Yesterday, I was riding with a light weight, white, cotton T-shirt & while it didn't cover my arms I never felt uncomfortable. I sometimes ride with rayon Hawaiian shirts that I've gotten at the thrift store, but again they don't cover my arms.
