Sun oil

[Saddle bum]

Are oil based sun lotions still available? Cannot seem to see any around. The creams and others don't are not too durable when riding a bike and they make a mess of my Lycra.

I found one called 'tropical' it had an SPF of 8 and I purchased in wilkonsons. They also had piz buin (sp) for £4, pretty cheap for a major brand.

The oils always used to be low protection factor products; anything less than SPF15 is now pretty much politically incorrect, so you won't see much of it.

I swear by Reimann P20, put it on about 15 mins before you go out, it sinks in totally and I've never burnt using it (I'm quite fair)

It's not cheap though, I've just bought 3 bottles ready for the Oz trip.
