In contrast to children, who must always be shielded from the sun, most people can tolerate up to an hour of sun exposure without any burns. The most potent solar radiation is around mid-day, so one should minimize exposure to direct sunlight during this period. Experience reduced UV exposure by about half when donning a wide-brim hat. Foresee this! The reflection from snow can nearly double the intensity of UV radiation from the Sun.
