The old rule of thumb with clothing was that if you could see through it you could get sunburn through it. Remember that a sunburn is actually a radiation burn.

I've also read that SPF 30 is the best protection and that stuff above that doesn't really do much more.

Also, an SPF rating is for each INDIVIDUAL. It simply means the factor by which you can increase YOUR sun exposure without burning.
