Why Sun Mask And Gloves Instead Of Sunscreen?

That's to save time if you'd like to rob a convenience store on the way home to pay for gas/plastics/terminal/lures lost over the course of the day

I understood why when I went down fishing at Miami FL last week. The sun down there is no slouch, and Sunscreen just doesn't cut it.

 

Yeah, the sun and heat down here are not forgiving. Wearing quality sun gear from head to toe, will definitely make your fishing experience more bearable.  :hot-sun-192:

I have been interested in some of this stuff.

Buff & Columbia are the two brands I wear. 

 

My experience with them has been very good.

 

There are many more brands but these work for me.

I like Columbia, worldwide sportsman, and Nike's outdoor gear.

X2  I use the same brands, they had a sale at Dick's Sporting Goods and now that I know how it feels to wear it all, I would pay full price for the same items again.

Simple answer: comfort. It is much cooler with skin covered by breathable, yet UV resistant, fabric. I hate having any oily or greasy feeling on my skin.

 

Also, if I put sunscreen on my face I still break out even as an adult. The only place I use sunscreen is my legs if I am wearing shorts.

I like Columbia stuff but find myself wearing my Under Amrour shirts more.  They make a fishing line and I got both of them on clearance.  They were normally $80 but I got them for half that.  

 

Oh and sunscreen sucks.
