I just use sunmilk, factor 40
Suppose it depends on the UV factor, we don't have that kind of sun in Europe....
Don't see me riding with these things...

Where are you located out of curiosity?
I dress. I have yet to find a sun screen that works well without getting in my eyes. So I go long sleeves and a hat.

I just use sunscreen, I do use a spray on sunscreen so I get as little of it as possible on my hands. Seems to work well, and I haven't had issues with it in my eyes. I think I use Coppertone, but I am not really sure. My girlfriend usually picks it up for me.

Really don't have the burn problem myself. I tan very very easily. Guess it has something to do with my great grandmother being full blooded Cherokee

Agreed! But it has sparked some good discussion. I'm changing the thread title to be more indicative of the actual subject.
Also, we have another thread discussing SPF/SPR for clothing. It's here: http://www.twospoke.com/forum/f112/clothing-spf-1177/
With regards to sunscreen for riding, I love the little sunscreen wipes. These are the ones I use: Corotex Products SPF 30 Sunscreen Towelettes - Camping.com They are very convenient to carry in a jersey pocket. Also, the sunscreen feels very light and doesn't leave that sticky feeling. Plus, as a bonus for me, several gas stations along my favorite routes carry them at the counter.
