One variation of a system for tracking and responding to Sun exposure includes: a housing configured to transiently attach to a port on a first garment; a jack coupled to the housing configured to transiently engage a port on the first garment; a radiation sensor arranged in the housing and configured to detect solar radiation incident on the housing; and a controller configured to: read an identifier of the first garment from the port via the jack; based on the identifier, estimate a skin exposure of a user wearing the first garment; read an solar radiation value from the radiation sensor at a first time; and, based on the solar radiation value and the skin exposure, estimate an solar radiation exposure of the user at the first time.
