Default Sun Protection While Soaring - UPF 50+ Clothing

I can't imagine that blue tint helps much. Blue-violet light is just slightly less energetic than UVA light. Grey tint blocks all visible colors by essentially the same amount, and maybe UV too, but it would have to be measured.

Sunscreen all the time is a good idea.
