Oh okay sorry. I am thinking about getting a burkini or rash shirt/shorts now that the hole in the ozone is getting worse again, so I'm kind of focused on its practical properties.
I would be careful with that, because the ozone layer filters UV light, which can penetrate regular textiles.
Thanks for the thought but burkinis are Australian, so they are made from SPF 50+ fabric.
I'm a New Zealander, so I will also be wearing SPF75+ on my skin and something even higher on my face and ears, as usual.
New Zealand and Australia have the highest rates of skin cancer in the world, so this goes with the territory.
