It’s time to get outside with a sun-smart plan to protect yourself — and enjoy every minute with the right equipment.

• Running. Keep your head shaded from the sun with a hat made with light materials, like polyester. Bonus points for finding one with vented panels, which will help you stay cool and circulate the air as you move. Use a pair of sun sleeves if you’re prone to forget the sunscreen.

• Cycling. The secret to riding light is plenty of pockets, so you can have keys and other essentials on you without adding another layer.

• Hiking. Whether you’re headed to a local tree-lined trail, your best bet for keeping cool feet as you hit the trails are thin, wicking, wool socks. Buy pants that can roll into capris or rip off over a pair of shorts and a polyester shirt with both SPF and bug repellent to steer clear of ticks.
