UV rays thru tinted windows

[Greenwood_60]

UV will not pass through glass. (You don't get sunburnt with the window up)

Heat might be a problem,but not UV

You have never gotten a tan through the car window on long N/S trips? Maybe I don't understand enough about a tan vs a burn.

Not true
Vehicle glass is not thick enough to prevent all UV from coming through and you will get tanned or burnt if you're light skinned. Google's your friend and my left arm is proof.

i have gotten sunburned on plenty of drives to cave country with my windows up

Easy there buddy I did not mean anything by it. Just poking fun at you. I am actualy a diver who has geared up saying I wished I lived in Alaska or Washington. I can't stand the heat.

Now my two cents. I drive a. Sub with dark tint and my dry suit stays in there all the time with no problems.

Hey Adam, I can see how I might have come off as offended, but I've come to the realization long ago on different net forums that being offended isn't worth the time and replying in a pist off manner usually leads the thread way off-topic... It is hard to really express meaning with just words anyway...

I never thought you were trying to offend me, poke fun, maybe, but thats fine, really kind funny sometimes. Really though, I do wish that diving around here was better. Throw us one cavern or something... No big deal though because location is something that can be changed and I intent to do just that as soon as I'm done with my degree. Until then, I'll check out some wrecks in the lakes. I do have a tendancy to go overboard when posting, so what began as a simple quick thought ends up being elaberated into a freakin short story... I've got to work on that.
I also have a tendancy to post whatever jumps into my head, but only if I'm already surfing the forum. Example: like a week or so ago, I was looking at the gear exchange page and I wrote something not helpful for his sale, on a guys CCR FS page without even realizing that it was a post instead of a one on one message. Luckily, good ole' sludge erased it before it got blew out of proportion and I got super flamed (thks BTW)....

Re-reading my OP, I see that I entered info that wasn't even needed, plus 10 miles isn't really much to deal with, but it gets old when its for a less than decent dive site. So, don't stop pokin fun at folks because, I have to admit that, it is entertaining to see some of the authenticly PO'd flamings that follow, as long as they don't transform into pointless, thread jacking, irrelevant nusiances, where folks really do get furiously angry, its a forum, just log off....

About the tint, that was kind of a dumbs*#t question anyway since I can just throw a dang blanket over the stuff....

You guys are fun to chat with regardless of the few states between some of us... It gonna really blow when I show up for good...

Til then, later on

I keep my drysuits in my van year round, it has a heavy tint (not limo) all around and I've never had any problems. Hope this helps.... '

Safe diving,

Rich

Yup, just the kinda info I was lookin for... Thks

Yeah, my arm too, too bad its illegal to have even a slight bit of tint on front windows... I get a little tired of holding my arm over my head for 20 hour drives........... Got a pretty bad azz shoulder muscle though, too bad its only on one side. Looks like I've been going to town on myself.

Yeah, I crossed the line a bit on that one, eehhhh
