Sun protection clothing recs?

Does anyone have recs for clothes/accessories that help with sun protection? Summer is coming and I’m trying to be extra careful because I just had a facial treatment done.

I’ll still wear sunscreen ofc, but I don’t feel like sunscreen alone is enough right now. Mostly looking for things to cover my face and arms, like a good hat, UPF shirt, arm sleeves, or anything else that actually works and doesn’t feel awful in the heat. TIA 😄

Does anybody out there by any chance happen to have an Old mountain Hardwear skyview 2 tent, instructions are a picture or something? I can't figure out how the rainfly goes on. This came with a batch of old tents and before I try to sell or donate it, I'd like to be able to tell somebody how to put it up.

I think I have the body figured out. However the rain fly has me stumped. There is one pole that appears to be left for it.

What are the best portable power stations for camping trips?

Last weekend I went camping with my campus friends and it made me realize how important a good portable power station can be during a trip. By the second night almost everyone’s phones were nearly dead, our lights kept shutting off and one person’s mini cooler stopped working completely. We ended up sharing the few remaining power banks that were still working and it honestly became more stressful than expected. It got me thinking that maybe power banks are fine for short outings, but for longer camping trips a proper portable power station probably makes a huge difference. Now I’m considering buying one before my next trip, but there are so many I've seen on Alibaba but I genuinely can’t tell which ones are actually reliable. I keep seeing names like Jackery, Bluetti and  EcoFlow mentioned everywhere, but I want to hear real experiences from people who actually use them outdoors and how they perform.  What portable power stations have worked well for you, and which ones would you avoid?

Sun protection recs after facial treatment?

Hi everyone! I just had a facial treatment done, so I’m trying to be extra careful with sun protection for my face.

I’ll still use sunscreen, but I’d love to add more physical protection too. Does anyone have favorite brands or links for things like UPF hats, face covers, sun hoodies, or anything that helps cover the face without feeling awful in the heat?

Would love any recs. TIA!

Teva hurricane ampsole gaila

Hello I am looking at the Teva hurricane ampsole Gaila model, but I am concerned about its actual comfort because the sole is heel-like unlike the XLT2 model, which though dont like the straps cause the simple xlt2 straps hurt my feet.
Can someone who has them enlighten me on their actual comfort and if they re more for show?

What Teva’s should I get?

hello!! I work as a camp counselor over the summer and am in need of new camp shoes. I was thinking of getting my self some Teva’s but I’m not sure which ones I should get. A typical camp day for me consists of good about of walking, some active games and swimming all for which I’d like to wear these shoes. Sometimes also the odd rocking climbing session, hike or zip lining trip haha. Anyone got any insight on what would be the best choice for me? thanks
