[pct-l] sun protection

[chwillet at indiana.edu (Christopher Willett)]

The MEC Prospector is very breathable and provides excellent sun
protection.  I wore this shirt from Campo to South Lake Tahoe
before
changing to a T-shirt.  The prospector, in size large, weighs 8.2 oz and 
will run you 49 Canadian dollars.  A couple of years ago, this meant 
32 cents American. But, the dollar is weaker now and you're looking at 
$35 USD.  See www.mec.ca
