Capt Dan Thornton, Royal Marines

I have used Island Tribe my entire life whilst surfing and travelling
Throughout the world before I joined the Royal Marines. Island Tribe was a
life saver when I worked as a Beach Life Guard before joining the Corps where we
spent all day exposed to the sun. Although a South African product, I have seen it used by surfers and water enthusiasts worldwide.

Since joining, I continue to use Island Tribe. I took a large supply with me to Iraq last year where it was exceptionally helpful in protecting against the extreme desert sun. After applying it in the morning before patrol, I had total confidence in the product for the rest of the day. I am currently deployed in Diego Garcia, British Indian Ocean Territory where it remains an essential part of my every day equipment whilst conducting water borne operations around the island as well as a large number of water sports exposed to the tropical sun.
