I'm looking to get more into bike touring and don't want to get burnt to a crisp while doing it. I have some sun shirts and a Da Brim but I'm wondering what y'all do for your legs other than just sunscreen?

I’m not a touring rider, but my solution is to wear thin, breathable cotton trousers over my bib shorts/padded shorts. Complete protection, although it sucks in the rain.
Sunscreen applied a couple times a day, thickly. Another option is arm/leg sleeves/coolers. They are usually white and also offer good sun protection, but are flexible and can be removed easily without having to disrobe. I use arm coolers and they work great.
