ATLANTIC ROWING RACE

-FREDRIK ABELLIN AND VIKTOR MATTSSON

We row 2,512 nautical miles in the scorching sun, burning yourself is not an option. Atlantic Rowing Race is one of the world’s toughest races. It goes from the island of La Gomera across the Atlantic to Barbados, a distance of 2512 nautical miles. In the tropical heat and blazing sun, the rowers compete in two-hour shifts around the clock. When rowing, the equipment must be minimal but a sunscreen is of course guaranteed a place among the kit. In such extreme conditions, EVY is the only choice we can imagine. EVY lasts a very long time and is resistant to sweat and salt water. Getting burned can be devastating and simply cannot happen.

AXA-ADIDAS ADVENTURE RACING TEAM

-CAPTAIN MIKAEL LINDNORD

Crawling around in the jungle, long distance swimming in the Pacific Ocean.. Our adventures really need sunscreen. In the beginning of my career I spent a long time looking for a sunscreen that really worked in extreme conditions. It often ended with me finding some white, bulky, all-over cream, and it obviously looked awful. But some years ago I discovered EVY by chance and since then it’s been just as important a piece of equipment in the backpack as my power bars. It’s easy to rub in, it keeps protecting for a really long time and I don’t have to keep frequently reapplying, even though I’m swimming in the Pacific or crawling around in the jungle on all fours in my races.

SWEDISH GOLF ASSOCIATION

-COACH KATARINA VANGDAL

We need to focus on golf, no matter how strong the sun is. Swedish Golf Team players are exposed to strong sunlight for long periods, in both games and training, year-round. It’s important to focus on golf without having to re-apply sunscreen all the time or worry about the sun. This applies to all our players, from the juniors to the highest professional level. We need long-lasting, durable protection that’s easy to use, that’s why we chose EVY as the Swedish Golf Team’s Official sunscreen.

WHITBREAD AROUND THE WORLD RACE

-MANGE OLSSON, VETERAN SAILING LEGEND

9 months at sea is really demanding, we chose EVY as our official sunscreen for our EF boat crews. For tough sailing competitions, when you’re exposed to strong sun, tropical heat and, especially, salt water, you need a sunscreen that’s easy to use and long-lasting. EVY lasts and keeps protecting the skin in spite of sweat and salt water, hour after hour. Not having to rub it in over and over is amazing and the freedom makes it easier to stay involved in the challenge, without worrying about the sun. I’ve participated in the Whitbread six times (now known as the Volvo Ocean Race) and also won the competition. You’re out sailing for a full nine months so it’s unlike any other challenge. EVY can handle really tough conditions and I won’t sail without it.

SWEDISH CYCLING FEDERATION

-CAPTAIN ANDREAS DANIELSSON

EVY is the only sunscreen that doesn’t sting your eyes when you get sweaty. I started using EVY whilst I was racing for Human Link. EVY was the only sunscreen I could use on my forehead that didn’t sting my eyes when I was sweating. Since then, I’ve always given my riders EVY for warm and sunny weather races. We compete all over the planet, most recently in Nepal, where we’re often exposed to extremely strong sunlight and having sun protection you can rely on is imperative.

ELITE VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS

-ANNA ÅSBERG AND SOFIA ÖGREN

EVY lasts, even though we’re constantly throwing ourselves into the sand. When you play beach volleyball, it’s important that the sunscreen goes into the skin without stickiness. Otherwise the sand sticks to us when we’re diving around, and that doesn’t work. EVY has a nice texture that’s easy to apply and absorbs quickly into the skin, which is perfect for when you’re on a sandy beach. We always use EVY for training and during competitions, because we often have to spend long days in the glaring sun.

As beach volleyball players, it’s good to find a sunscreen that lasts because it’s difficult to apply again once you’ve started playing and have sand all over your body and hands. That the sunscreen doesn’t run or wash off from the body when you start sweating is a must, because we often play in extremely hot venues without any shade.
