So I'm developing a fine appreciation for the suction-cup sunshades on the airplane, and a seething hatred for the knuckleheads who cinch the adjustment knob on the visor so tight, flipped backwards, that I need a set of channel locks to break it loose.
That said, there are two things I'm strongly considering adding to my flight kit, because Melanoma nearly killed my Dad and I'd like to stay ahead of this one and maybe not age so quick.
1) Sun/cooling sleeves. I do have at least one long-sleeved pilot shirt, I'm thinking sun sleeves during flight might be a little more comfortable. There's a ton of them out there - which ones are you guys using, if any, and why that brand?
2) Better sunscreen - I've been buying whatever little tubes there are in the travel aisle at CVS - sometimes it's Coppertone, sometimes it's Neutrogena. Usually 30-50 SPF. Is there something better out there, especially if it doesn't make me smell like I've been at the beach all day? Even better if it absorbs really well so I don't have a ghostly pallor when I first apply it?
