Thanks for sharing your experience! :thumb:
Allow me to add my 5 cents to your video:
- if you like wetshirt hoodies and neck gaiters you should check Ride Engines Eclipse: https://rideengine.com/products/eclipse ... dry-hoodie It combines both in a single product. I do agree wetshirt hoodies are probably the best option for sun protection not only when in the water, but after a session while still chilling at the beach.
- for water sport specific sunglasses you can not beat LIP(https://www.lip-sunglasses.com/products/watershades/)! These are not cheap, but they got ZEISS optics, hydrophobic coating, anti-fog lenses with ventilation slits, face protection, etc., etc. Using these with the retainer makes them impossible to lose during a wipe-out. One can not recommend water sport sunglasses without mentioning LIP! :wink:

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll review them for the next one if I can get my hands on them. I had seen the ride engine hoody, but I've never seen one in stock!
