Sun Protection ?

[skunked again]

Buffs get my vote. Breathable shirts, dip em both in the water, ring em out, fire up big engine and let er rip!

I've worn a buff the last 2 years along with Fish Monkey gloves. Buff is a little warm, but it beats skin cancer. I use sunscreen on my nose and cheeks before I leave the house and wear a long sleeve shirt usually Huk or Under Armor. I have found that the cotton buffs are warm. I like the 90% polyester 10% spandex ones. I have heard that Fish Monkey is coming out with a buff and am anxious to try it. The gloves are excellent quality.

Have a pair of fish monkey gloves also, good stuff. Didn't know they were coming out with a buff.

Yes, but the Mexicans aren't sitting in a boat on a big lake.

The problem with any hat is:

... it doesn't protect you from sunlight reflected off the water. That's why fishing is especially hard on your skin. (Skiers have the same problem with sunlight reflected off the snow.)

I too have suffered from cooked ears and nose over my lifetime. Solar Escape hats are lite and durable, them along with 50spf and above sunblock have really aided me. https://www.amazon.com/Solar-Escape-.../dp/B01CGVUIPC

I use uv fishing hoodie, a jungle hat and sometimes an umbrella.

Lately I’ve been using Coppertone Ultra Guard SPF 50 sunscreen and have not experienced the collar staining I have gotten from other products. I had started wearing darker colored shirts just to counter that problem. At the moment I don’t recall the ingredient that causes the staining. I also use the spray several minutes before I put on the shirt. Has anyone else experienced the stain issue? Sadly Coppertone bought out the product called Shade that I believe to be a premeir sunscreen.

I saw my dermatologist after using a sun screen that broke me out. She took a skin sample and a week later she told me to use Neutrogena 35 and up, if I can find it for babies get it. Coppertone, Banana Boat and a few others have chemicals that I can't use.
