| Anyone know where to find uv protective clothing in DC? Also recommendations for brands? My dermatologist is painting me a grim future if I don't get serious about sun protection. Ugh. |

| Don't know about brick and mortar stores but you can order from Land's End, Columbia, and Coolibar |

| Agree with the above recommendations (plus REI in summer). But, try not to get too hung up on SPF clothing - changing your wardrobe in general to have lightweight long sleeve and long pant legs during summer, plus wearing a hat and moving activities to the early and late part of the day can do the trick. |

| Definitely REI if you're willing to drive to Bailey's Crossroads or College Park. |

| Thanks everyone. 08:00, I would so prefer not to do UPF clothing if I don't have to but derm practically told me never to go outside again.. You don't think it really helps? Btw, it's so creepy, an ad for Coolibar popped up on my screen. |
