What do you think of those long black gloves and dark face shields that some women in Japan wear during summer?

Nothing. It's a free country, they should wear what they want, not based on what I or anyone else thinks.

I don't. How ever people dress, their sexuality their race is no concern to me. All that counts is that they are happy.

Darth Vader. Distant and unsociable. Overly paranoid of the sun. Unhealthy.

For health, people do need the sun to a limited extent. Your body needs Vitamin D and the sun is the major supplier of that. Everyone should get about 20 to 30 minutes of sun a day. People who do, look a hell of a lot healthier than people who don't.

I'm not bothered.

Sexy.

It's not something I would ever think to wear but whatever floats their boat and protects them from the sun. Personally, a good lathering of sunscreen is enough for me.

For someone who has very sensitive skin and gets sunburnt very fast in the strong Japanese sun, those face shields are wonderful. For years, summers used to be a time I hated, because I had no way to protect my face, but by wearing a veil that protected my skin, but made my face uncomfortably hot underneith it. With the shield, my face is protected, but the air can flow freely also. Thank you to whoever invented them!

I think that if you're that afraid of going outside than you should just stay home.

None of my business or yours.

I've started wearing white ones. My arms are significantly darker than the rest of my body and I don't want it to get worse. Plus I want to minimize chances of getting skin cancer. I've seen more men wear them, but joggers have been wearing them for years. The summer sun in Japan can be brutal.

Cool, if they are going to battle the Jedi.

I've started wearing white ones. 

No judgement at all, but you are walking around wearing white gloves? Interesting look for sure!
