Also, sun protective clothing is an option. I have been dressing my 2
daughters in this kind of clothing for several years now and we have
never had a sunburn.

I know of a few places where I have ordered them from and have had
great experiences.

Some more than others... From what I've read, a typical white t-shirt
has an SPF of perhaps 7... The heavier the weight of the fabric, the
better... Darker colors also help more... Blue jeans probably have a
pretty damn good SPF factor... A long sleeved denim shirt has an SPF
factor of approximately 1700...

That was kind of my point, just a little more wordy.

Thanks, I guess. :-)
