I also recently discovered Prana Hybridizer joggers for MTB riding. I have to wear full coverage because of poison ivy. Anyway, I discovered they are great for air flow and might even try them on road rides. They provide SPF protection but have tiny perforations.
I’m kind of a nut about sun protection because family cancer histories and my own skin cancer scares.
I have always had this ability to tan dark extremely easily and never burn so I usually don't wear sunscreen or forget to and I never get burned I just tan. I never have to worry about poison IVY either, it's never effected me. I would play in the woods all the time as a kid and never break out and my cousins would all be itching like crazy
I just took a whiz in the woods two days ago off the bike path in poison IVY, never broke out
I usually wear a tank top with boxer underwear and shorts or blue jeans or khakis. For footing I will wear sandals or casual shoes or a pair of tennis shoes. Sometimes a helmet, other times just some kind of hat.
