This is important and has been discussed a lot in
rec.triathlon. The new guidelines do not go into
effect for a while so you might want to stock up
on the SPF 45 before it is gone.
Answer:
Ok not to play devil's advocate here but what about the news, myth,
information, or legend, that anything above SPF 15 was worthless? Or rather
that there was really no such thing as SPF higher than 15? Are they trying
to say that there's no difference between 12 and 15? or 4 and 8? I mean for
the kids I buy 45 (I figure if they make it, it has to be *somewhat* better
than 15), but I would definitely like some clarification on this if anyone
knows.
