escapist series of tabs they come in two different options a medium and a large medium weighs dinner only 300 grams measuring 2 by 2.6 meters while the large weighs in at 440 measuring 3 by 3 The Escapist was originally designed to get you out into the wild without the cumbersome hassle of a tent it can be set up in a myriad of options most of which are designed on the packaging both of the tarps feature 8 different tie up points three on each side and then two across the ridgeline these points are bartack for use with a trekking pole as well as featuring a cord adjuster and cord that has reflective tape on top of their ultra lightweight the escapists packs down to a minimal size is smaller than a water bottle a well-read a-frame in both sizes will comfortably sleep to packing a full pack can sometimes be too cumbersome and the escapists is great for just throwing in a day pack when you need to get out of the city Sawyer stay put sunscreens bond to the skin and in a unique way that give you the best the most comfortable protection you have ever experienced think of it as a breathable matrix while most sunscreens hold the lotion and the top two layers of the skin so your stay put sunscreen also bond the sunray absorbing agents deeper into the skin so by spreading the same volume of lotion over a larger cubic area of skin the result is less sunscreen lotion for area of skin in a more comfortable feel you will hardly even know when you have sunscreen on and the deeper the lotion is the less likely to wash off and rub off and surface sunscreens your skin has many layers of cells from the base to the top these cells are constructed sort of like the Grand Canyon on a micro scale that is how sweat that is generated at the lowest level can pass to the top layer of skin so your stay put sunscreens use a special technology to bond the Ray of lowering agents to the sidewalls of those canyons thus sweat and water pass over the compounds without flushing them away this makes the formula highly resistant to deterioration due to sweating or swimming and it is still very comfortable to wear an SPF 30 blocks out or absorbs 97% of UVB sun rays and naturally your skin can handle 70% of those rays without burning therefore in reality you very seldom need more than an SPF 30 to get all the protection you need from harmful rays to achieve an SPF of 45 or 50 many factors have to add 25 to 50 percent more absorbing agents to their formulas and the result is only an extra one or two percent of absorption of the sun rays so we recommend starting with our SPF 30 and only move to the SPF 50 as special situations I'll describe later on hot and humid day is the need for your body to sweat and cool itself is critical higher SPF formulas and non-breathable matrix formulas may inhibit your body's ability to transfer heat this is especially important to remember with younger children as they are not fully developed their ability to sweat in such cases the lower SPF formulas should actually provide better protection you always want to apply sunscreen to cool dry skin fire heading out but in special situations where that's not possible you can choose sawyers SPF 50 titanium dioxide sunscreen that is formulated to stick to moist skin which is why it feels a little greasy our SPF 50 is also great for high altitude trekking or colder climates because it will actually help hold your body heat in but in warmer climates and in intense Sun conditions take special precaution to keep yourself as cool as possible intense Sun conditions include low latitudes near the equator higher altitudes peak Sun season which is May June and July in the northern hemisphere intense time of the day which is 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. sun exposure after going long periods with very little exposure to the Sun areas of thin skin like the nose or the top of the ears may need reapplication of the SPF 30 or the special SPF 50 later in the day after heavy rubbing from a backpack or life jacket or in humid moist conditions the response to industry pressure the FDA issued new label guidelines for sunscreens and in order to use the term broad-spectrum sunscreen the formula must protect against the entire spectrum of UVA rays UVA rays are often referred to as the wrinkling rays but the research we've seen is shown this is really only true of the shorter UVA rays and any good SPF 30 formula will absorb those rays even if they do not absorb the longer and non harmful UVA rays unfortunately the only way to achieve absorption of the longest UVA rays is to use a chemical called alpha Ben zone you will see this feature highly-touted started this year in 2012 Sawyer will not add all the Bentson to its formulas for two reasons one because the longer you've EAS are not really harmful to your skin and to all the been zone has been shown to be unstable in natural light and as it dissipates it removes with it some of the other sunscreen in those orbits that are keeping you from burning therefore sunscreens containing all the been zone have to recommend re application every two hours on their labels and in our opinion you will need to do so or risk getting burned Sawyer's bonding based formulas have a great reputation for how long they last and even though we will also have to change our labels to recommend frequent reapplication we think the people who have used our tried-and-true formulas in the past will appreciate how well so your sunscreens will continue to work while other brands may not be as good as they were before the new regulations and label changes you
