Wetsuit tan

What do you guys do avoid the weird wetsuit tan around the neck area that makes you look like a freaking earthworm? Besides applying tons of sunscreen around the neck area...

If you're an old guy, leave your shirt unbuttoned down to your belly, people won't notice the tan line hardly at all... :oops: :lol: :nopity: :claps: :bow:

i get that in winter, it's pretty funny, i'm a teacher, so students always notice that, then i have to explain why, and like Libby says, some find it pretty sexy....
my hands are also darker...

During the summer you will also get a nice ring around your ankle you ware your leash on. Along with a nive 'V' on the top of your feet from your flip flops.
