UV Monkey lets you know if the sun will burn you to a crisp

With Summer in full swing, the need to protect your skin becomes more important as outdoor activities in the unrelenting sunshine could harm you if you don’t use sunscreen. But did you know that even hazy summer days could also burn you if you don’t protect yourself? Don’t gauge how much sun there is outside by looks alone. You need a meter to tell you how much UV radiation is out there whether it is sunny or partially cloudy.

The UV Monkey can help you do this by giving you a quick way to see how much sun protection you are going to need. It is a small key ring that changes color in the sun to let you know the current UV Index outside. Just match the color changing center to one of the four matching color references on the outer ring to see if the sun is set for low cook or for full broil that day. This UV gauge also serves double duty and can even be used to determine the light level to see how well solar powered equipment might work in a particular area.

So for those of you who are fair skinned or need a quick way to check the light to solar charge your gadgets, the UV Monkey is available from ThinkGeek and can be purchased for just $9.99.
