Now that summer is almost here, I’m looking for better ways to protect myself from the sun. I generally dislike sunscreen, but I do wear it while riding.
The helmet visor “Da Brim” (website) caught my attention. Since I wear a huge-ass sombrero-style hat when I’m off the bike, I’m fine with the way Da Brim looks.
For context, some of my summer rides might have me in 8-10+ hours of sun, which isn’t good, even with sunscreen on. If Da Brim can make the experience more tolerable, I’m in!
I’m curious to hear from anyone who has one, and what their experience has been.
The top ingredients which outperform US approved sunscreen ingredients (zinc oxide and titanium dioxide) are: Tinosorb S, Tinosorb M, Mexoryl SX and Mexoryl XL. No idea which brands, doing some digging around myself.

FYI, I’m in Canada and have been using La Roche ANTHELIOS XL, which contains Mexoryl XL and is SPF 60.
Been using it for years after my dermatologist recommended it.
Awesome, thanks!
Hah, apparently the American version of that product is what I’ve been using
