Prosportsunscreen

The majority of the Uk and even a few of the Nepali competitors were subject to sunburn during Yak Attack 2007. At 5000m, the suns UV strength is 72% higher than at sea level and this coupled with the reflecting qualities of the snow meant that normal sunscreens did not provide adequate protection.

We were therefore very happy when Fluidforce contacted us offering to supply a quantity of Prosportsunscreen for use during Yak Attack 2008.

The 32oz bottle came with its own dispenser so everybody was easily able to take a controlled amount each day, and as it gives protection for 8 hours and has and SPF44 only 1 application per day was necessary.

Due to cloud and falling snow, we didnt encounter any sun whilst crossing the pass in 2008, but the sunscreen was still put to the test on the other 7 days and we are happy to report that no competitors suffered from any sunburn. Its non greasy formula meant your hands werent slipping off your handlebars and the dry Manang valley dust didnt stick to your face!

Prosportsunscreen also comes in a handy 6oz bottle andmore details can be found here
