The Idea

I've seen specialty houses selling sun protected clothing but nothing for the masses. The very cheap Golf/Baseball Cap can be made from Solar Screen material, comes in many colors and logos could be added. Like on your windows lets in the air keeps out the UVs'.

I thought of this idea when I was...

Installing Solar Screens on all my windows, Las Vegas was alfull hot in the summer. When UV sun glasses first came out I always looked for the little sticker that said I was protected.

Seems like every discount sporting goods place I go in has a load of UV protective gear. Are you focusing on a specific type of product that you can't find elsewhere?

ohh sorry for my ignorance(ugh)... does one only need a Gatorade or some fortified liguids?

BIGCHICKEN, your idea proposes using a material which you say protects against UV rays.

As I understand it, it is not the UV rays per se which cause sunstroke. One can be screend against UV and still get sunstroke.

Someone medical can correct me if I am wrong, please. But I think that sunstroke is the same as heatstroke, which is caused by heat. I don't think a fabric can keep out heat in the way you propose.

Please explain if I have got it wrong. I did not really understand your comment beginning with "keyword". People have posted comments saying that there is already UV-protection clothing on the market. You need to explain whether your invention is similar or different, and if different, how.

Thanks.
