Hi Guys,

Now that the warmer temp is coming through what protective clothing and head gear are you using.

Recently I noticed Rivers have a fishing shirt and rain light weight top on sale.

Where is a good place to buy good quality cheap caps that protect your neck and the side of your head.

Those fishing shirts are great. I used to think they were a wanker thing but they offer great protection just make sure it's at least UPF40+ but seems a pretty good price.

Still do but always looking at alternatives.

What head wear are you using that covers the neck line.

Never used it in my life, but I'll wear a shirt and hat. Just for the record, my family is riddled with cancer and I've lost aunties and uncles to the shitty disease :down:

I always have a wide brim hat and sunglasses amd lots of suncream and never had issues on my face or arms but always had shirts on but had cancers cut out on my back

I always wear a long sleeve t shirt as well as a wide brim hat when fishing or out in the garden. I also use a face shield on days that are really sunny with high uv count even if I just where it like a scarf to cover the back if my neck. Don't worry what you look like just be safe.

bcf are having a sale of 2 fishing tournament shirts for $100 atm, they are UPF50 rated which is good. and also breathable.
i use one of those and a hat plus a face mask/buff.
i need to get into the habit of using sunscreen on my face, as thats the only part that gets burnt.
