Windshields do block UV light, however the strength of UV light increases exponentially. Once you get in the high 30's, you're Mr Spock saving the Enterprise.
Use shades. UVA is 320-380 nm Premature aging as well as DNA damage |

I'm still having difficulty with the whole "If you don't like to wear long sleeves, here's some long sleeves you can wear instead of wearing long sleeves" concept.

For anyone who hates long sleeve shirts, especially in the summer, I bought a pair of SPF 50 sleeves for the flight I seem to just get stuck in the sun the whole time.

I wear sunscreen on my face, ears, and neck. Neutrogena makes a good non-greasy sunscreen and doesn't smell like you're going to the beach. I'll also wear upf sleeves in the cockpit when there is prolonged sun exposure on my side. I've had lots of pre-cancerous moles removed and I'm only in my mid 30s, so, haters can hate. I put them on when needed and taken them off before i leave the plane. No biggie.

My best friend has severe melanoma and it almost killed him but he is close to being recovered. I rented a boat one weekend this year to go hang out and invited him and he shows up dressed like the invisible man with zero exposed skin (this is Florida, btw). It must've been hot as hell for him while at idle but once moving it wasn't too bad. Everyone passing by probably thought he was an albino or something. If there is a history of cancer I can understand taking every possible precaution. https://bloody-disgusting.com/wp-con...isible_man.jpg |
Find me another business professional with a white shirt + tie that goes with short sleeves? Usually those are the stereotypical geek/nerd types with cell phone holsters and pocket protectors. But what’s the deal with this reverse stigma in aviation of wearing a long sleeve shirt being nerdy or otherwise bad looking? Makes even less sense when you wear a suit coat. Most foreign airlines I’ve noticed have long sleeves.
All my pilot shirts are short sleeves. Maybe next replacement cycle I should go long sleeve. |

Some airlines may not allow long sleeves to be work under a short-sleeve shirt...

Seeing as this is a "United Airlines" subsection of APC, I don't think this is a factor.
?? It doesn't appear to be the United subsection to me. |

My comprehension on where I am on the forum is below average. |
Check out spaceweather.com . Daily forecasts for upper level radiation. They have a “hot flights” table which shows top 5 charter, commercial flights with highest dose rates. They say higher altitude flights 400, 450 have up to 70x higher dose rates than sea level depending on sunspot and gamma activity from space. Interesting to read about. Not sure what Coppertone makes for that....
