Sun Protection
With the longest day of the year only a month away it is a good time to talk about sun protection. It is easy to get complacent in our cool and wet climate. While it may not feel like your skin is cooking like in the tropics,the results can be worse because many people do not protect themselves on an average summer day in Western Washington. We have long days and you can get a bad sunburn even on a foggy day. Wearing good sunglasses and applying sunscreen are the first lines of defense. The second line of defense is clothing that blocks out the harmful effects of the sun. Not only do they give you UV protection but they are comfortable and can keep you cooler in hot weather. Another benefit to the UV clothing is that you won't have to apply sunscreen to the areas they cover.

Simms has improved upon the
popular Buff. They have
included breathing holes to
reduce fogging of sunglasses
and increased the amount
of material around the neck
to give full coverage. This
product is the best way to
protect your face, neck and
ears.

Your hands need protection
too. Many of us do not want
the smell of sunscreen on our
flies so we too often leave
our hands unprotected.
The Simms Sunglove also
has reinforced paneling
in high abrasion
areas.

Simms worked with Lefty Kreh
to design this hat. It offers
UPF 50+ protection, a long
visor, and has extra fabric
to protect the back of your
head.

|
This glove not only blocks
the sun but protects your
fingers from line cuts
that can happen when you
strip line all day, which
is common in our local
saltwater fisheries.

The Solar Sombrero offers a
wide brim for full coverage.
It provides UPF 50+
protection and comes with
a strap to keep it from
blowing off.

You can now enjoy summer's sunny skies without worrying about harmful UV rays. |
