Even wearing a leather jacket and helmet while riding you still have exposed skin that will get burned. Putting on a sunblock is a no brainer, especially on an 11 hour ride!

Banana Boat Ultra Mist Spf 50 Spray

I bought this before I left because my face, neck and wrists would still be exposed even with all my safety clothing on. My gloves have holes at the knuckles and I forgot to apply it there so needless to say my knuckles got a little burnt...lol

Easy to apply as you just spray it on with no wiping needed, I did however spray it on my hands to put it on my face so I wouldn't get any in my eyes. It worked great too as the sun was beaming on me the entire ride to Indiana and back(well most of the way back anyway, I got wet the last 150 miles...lol)

The 4 days I spent camping were sunny and this Banana Boat came in very handy and even though I spent 4 days exposed I never once got burned. I did however get a very deep bikers tan....yes my forehead has a white stripe from wearing my doo rag....lol

This Banana Boat Ultra has a very nice scent and feels just slightly oily to me but not enough to make me break out from it. It goes on very easy and doesn't seem to be affected by sweating at all. I applied it twice each day, once in the morning and again around 3pm just to be safe. I still have about a 1/3 of the can left so it doesn't take a lot to stay protected from the sun.

Bottom Lime

This is my first time using Banana Boat but it will not be my last, I really enjoyed using it and had great success with it to keep from getting burned. I used it before the Brickyard 400 and I was the only one in our group that didn't get sunburned at the race!

We have used it for the kids and it's long lasting works great and they can't run away before I am finished putting it on. No sunburns yet, but hey it's only August and we do live in Houston, probably one of the few cities you use sunscreen year round.

Frustrated my friend! My bikes in the shop, seems the back carburetor started running rich and it will be in the shop for a week. I hope it is less because the weather is perfect for riding now...

LoveisJoy wrote on Aug 19, 2008 at 8:18PM

Wow...all that time in the sun and no sunburn? Sounds like Banana Boat did what it was supposed to. :)

AnnaBanana wrote on Aug 19, 2008 at 7:52PM

This sounds like a winner, may I'll pack some of this along the next time I go to California!
