Purely Products makes something called the Sun Mate that tells you how bad the UV index is at that exact moment.

Hence, the reason I mentioned UVSkinz.com. I have to clarify a point you made, though. In reality, there's no such thing as SPF 150+. I'm not sure where this came from, but UV protective clothing (sun protective clothing) is rated using the UPF system. UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. The Australian Government and the American Academy of Dermatology recommend wearing sun protective clothing rated at UPF 50+, which is equivalent to a SPF 30 sunscreen. And since SPF 30 is the highest rating for sunscreens, this is considered excellent as it protects against >98% of UV rays. (The FDA doesn't regulate sunscreens, so that's why some products claim to have SPF 45+; however, it's a misnomer.)<BR/><BR/>I talk about this a lot on the Blog, so feel free to surf through previous posts.
