Common questions

Do I need sun protection year-round?

Yes! Triathletes are exposed to damaging UV rays even on cloudy days. It's important to use SPF protection year-round to help prevent sun damage.

Do I need SPF as a triathlete?

Triathlon disciplines (and training) are predominantly done outdoors where UV exposure is high. In addition, UV light bounces off water doubling exposure. A non-greasy, sweat and water resistant SPF such as our Mineral Sun Stick or Sun Protection Spray is ideal for cycling, swimming and running.

How often should I reapply sunscreen?

Reapply every 2-3 hours, especially if sweating.

Do you have anti-chafe products?

Our Anti-Chafe Bar helps prevent irritation from equipment, clothing or skin-on-skin rubbing.
