Now that I've used it for a couple of months, I'm even more impressed with this versatile sun shawl. It's very big in coverage, but light and miniature to carry in one's purse; it looks very pretty; and most importantly, it does its job - no redness.

The fabric is silky, which makes it look like a nice quality and stylish scarf.  Its size means it provides ample coverage for whatever part of body you need to protect. It's useful not just outside in the sun, for sun protection, but also against chills, when getting from the heat into freezing air-conditioned rooms.

It's indispensable in a car, protecting arms and shoulders against the sun. Now I just need to figure out how to use the shawl (maybe fasten it with pins?) to cover my cheeks and chin, for those times when the sun is hitting my face below my visor.
