I noticed after coming back from a snowy Dalby today, that I still have two tone arms from what was in retrospect not a bad UK summer.

Will they last 'til spring?

possibly, depends how deep a tan it is; hope that mine from a week in Pyrenees (end August) will last but then it was a week of pure sun / mountain exposure and 30-40c !! bit more than average UK summer there!

Still got mine - especially on the arms. My tan always lasts though.

Yep still getting odd looks at the swimming pool, hopefully it's because of the unusual tan lines.

I've still got the mad tanlines I got from our uplift day at fort william and the following day at Laggan- perfectly scorched the straps off my shin armour into the back of my legs. That's the only times I've ever worn those big pads so I know it can only have been then. And it's a bit silly looking 😳

I don't think my glove tanline ever goes away, I ride in short sleeves for most of the year so it gets topped up.

I always keep them all year round. How dark they are varies, but they're always visible.

As an MC1R homozygote, what's a tan line? 🙄 Of course the freckles are always present. Son1 however, has nice olive skin and is tanned all year.

Yep, still visible on arms and legs, I'm beginning to wonder if they'll last until next summer

Thought I still had them, but they washed off in the shower. Must have been winter mud-lines. 🙂

Yep,

Still got the Kyle Strait lower pad marks on my calves from 3 weeks of Alpine DH this summer.

I'm amazed how prominent they still are.
