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 solar radiation is most powerful near the mid-day, so the exposure to the direct Sun should be reduced accordingly. On bright days sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays should be worn. A hat with a wide brim is extremely helpful, as it can prevent roughly 50% of UV radiation from reaching the eyes. Notice this! Nearly double the intensity of the Sun's UV radiation can be caused by snow reflection.
