So I went for Hawaiian Tropic 30 in the end, it's not to thick or greasy and very water resistant. It kept me protected cycling in 40 degree heat.

I chose it because of the concern of 'ordinary' products being lost as I sweated. Didn't really find it greasy at all. I don't care if my running kit becomes ever so slightly discoloured. It's running kit

Totally water proof to the point of having to scrub it off in the shower with dishwashing liquid. THis is the link to their page invisiblezinc.com.au

Though I have read a couple of articles on the chemicals in sun cream. There is a suggestion that some of these chemicals are as potentially carcinogenic as sun burn. I'm not going to stop using sun block, but it does make me think.
