Need help with base layer
Quote | Reply
So I need some suggestions for a base layer for my wife. Here's the tough part, she has Lupus and sun exposure is a problem. So what i need is a long sleeve, warm weather base layer with SPF 50+ protection. I have done some looking but cant find anything, any suggestions?

Have you looked at Moeben sleeves? I wear them all the time while running in a short sleeved shirt. They are designed specifically to protect from the sun and used by people running and crewing at Badwater. If they protect in Death Valley, and still keep the runners cool, then you know they are good. The also have a little pocket in the sleeves which I use for car keys, etc. They come in lots of prints and weights.

The company president is an ultra runner and a great person.

Apparently she is working on leg sleeves as well.

The Craft ProCool may be worth a look.

I was actually just looking on Team Estrogen and decided to search there. Turns out they have a number of options.

I checked out the Craft stuff already the problem there is they only make a short sleeve base layer with SPF protection but westendgirl thanks for the help, it looks like the CW-X piece is the ticket.
