Unlike children, who always need sun protection, most individuals can remain in the sun for up to an hour without getting burnt.

A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Beware! Reflection from snow can magnify the Sun's UV radiation nearly twofold.
