Red Avert: From Catching Waves to Casting Lines: Sun Protection for Every Activity
By Eleni N. Gag

Men do certain things differently than women- they tee off a dozen yards back, play five sets instead of three, pee standing up. They also get skin cancer in their own way. A man often develops malignant spots on the tops of his ears or on his balding head, places easily overlooked when it comes to solar safety, while lesions usually appear first on a woman’s legs, where she’s likely to forget to cover up. But simply remembering to wear a hat and sunscreen won’t cut it when you’re out all day trolling for trout, snorkeling along the reef, or scavenging flea markets for vintage LP’s. You need a broad spectrum sun block that stops UVA and UVB rays, and has an SPF of at least 15. Cargo queried dermatologists and applied their recommendations to select the best creams, gels, and sticks for your outdoor obsession.
