Coppertone Pro Series with DuraFlex Continuous Spray SPF 30

Copportone Sport PRO Series DuraFlex SPF 30 Sunscreen

Not all sports are played under the blaring sun, but all athletes are prone to sunburns at one time or another. So do yourself a favor and grab some sunscreen—we recommend Copportone Sport PRO Series DuraFlex SPF 30.

Using new DuraFlex technology, this spray-on sunscreen moves with your skin rather than restricting it and making it sticky. It’s easy to apply, goes on light, yet stays on strong enough to last through the toughest of workouts.

You know how some sunblock gets into your eyes and stings like hell? Well this one doesn’t. It dries quickly, and offers all the sun protection you’ll need to get ahead of the game. It also offers protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays, and is water resistant for 80 minutes.

Body Glide Anti Chafe

Body Glide Anti-Chafe Balm

Blisters, chafing, and skin irritation are discomforts that all athletes are prone to. Fortunately, there’s an easy solution to the problem: Body Glide Anti-Chafe Balm.

Designed for all-sport use, the naturally formulated balm creates an invisible shield on your skin to prevent friction caused by rubbing. It can be applied to virtually any part of the body, including: arms, legs, neck, chest, groin, and beyond. The Anti-Chafe balm is water and sweat resistant, yet is versatile enough to allow moisture to escape in order to let your skin breathe. For even greater skin protection, it contains aloe vera and Vitamin E to help protect against dryness, and is petroleum-free so it won’t clog pores. Best of all, it glides on easily like a solid deodorant, meaning you don’t have to worry about creating a mess.
