Windburn Prevention?
 

As I'm getting the SCARAB up to speed now I have learned that contacts and driving fast do not mix, hence prescription sunglasses. How about a preventive measure for windburn?
Thanks.

I have found that sunblock works well for windburn protection, have you tried some motorcycle type wrap around glasses?

always use sunblock... forehead seems to get it the worse

Bigger windscreen! It's the only thing that worked for my wife and me.

PS: Thanks again for the photos

Can you put flip up windscreens or extensions on your fairing? They will flip up when you are going fast and then lower the rest of the time.
I have the name of a company that will build you prescription windproof sunglasses. I wear them when I am running hard.

How about a bandana?

These are the glasses/goggles I use. they work great at keeping the wind out at 70+ and they're polarized. Don't know about windburn though.

Check with OSO member cowisl, he had a nice windscreen (plexi) made for his Powerplay.

Jeff, I think you will find that a spf 50 sports cream type sunblock will help prevent the windburn on your forehead, you will have to re-apply 1-2 times if you are out all day. It can get painful if it sweats into your eyes though:ernaehrung004:

sunblock wow never really tried that before good suggestion will try it this weekend

This will be a quick fix for now. I look like I have the plague on my forehead today...... and I wore a dark shirt and look like a dog with the mange.

Gerrit,

can you send me the name.... maybe they can be mounted on the back side of the screen and not be seen under normal conditions?

No, they mount on the front side and use wind pressure to flip up and then are held up by the wind. If you get a chance look at the orange Cig 38 Top Gun that goes out of Endeavor, he is a Topps member, and look at his setup. I think that is a factory setup, but it will give you an idea. There is also a local guy who specializes in plexi or lexan windshield extensions. I talked to him about putting one on my old Sunsation. He comes highly reccommended. Call me and I will give you the details

I use moisturizing lotion before and after and it really helps. Keeps my forehead from drying out.
