Who uses face shields

[skunkedfishing]

Any one use face shields? Just wanted to know are they worth the money?

 

[Bluebasser86]

I wear one all the time on the water. May not look the coolest, but it looks way better than skin cancer. 

[NHBull]

I have a few and it is getting to be that time of the year.

I just picked up another one from Bed Bath and Beyond, that actually cools as it get moist.

Sun protection and cooling, you bet

[RippinLips57]

Yeah man me and my buddy wear ours when we're out on the water all the time we have the pelagic ones they are a lil expensive but there worth it there Not hot and there easy to breathe through.

I wear one all the time. I will even wear one in the dead of winter to keep a biting cold wind off my face. 

 

There are a lot of different brands and not all are equal in terms of comfort and breath ability. I have only tried 3 different brands but the one I like is made by "Hoorag".

My buddy laughs at me everytime I wear one when we are fishing but I don't like having to reapply sunscreen, especially on my face in the summer when it runs down my face and burns my eyes.  I bought a bunch off SA Fishing for cheap.  Usually you can find them for like 5 for $15 when they run sales.  I wouldn't buy the expensive ones because they aren't much different.

I've tried a couple different brands but I've settled with the Simms SunGaiter.

I also wear face shields i like the SA brand. The also keep the chill off you're face on 40degree days with 20mph winds

[Steveo-1969]

Yup.  Face shield, hat, long sleeves, sun gloves. Started wearing these just last summer and it was the first year in over 40 years that I didn't get sunburned. Hopefully I wised up in time and have avoided future skin cancer.

Thanks for your guys response just bought one. Lets see how I like it. Ill keep y'all posted. 

[rcg703]

another vote for the SA Fishing shields....I have at least 10 of them!

[Montanaro]

I wear my gaiter all year every time I fish.

 

Keeps cold off face...rain off face...sun off face.

 

You can get burnt easy in winter! Plus sunblock will run into eyes especially if you forget and rub your face

I started wearing them a few years ago ~ now there's almost always one on my grill. (which I do pull down for fish pics) 

Honestly I sort of feel half-naked without one.

Seems a lot more appealing to me than slathering up my mug with 50 SPF Mayo . . . .

Me. 

[Hooligan]

Odd man out, I guess.  I wear them only because she who must be obeyed tells me I need to. The one I prefer is the buff.

[mwh33]

I use them too. I have used multiple brands Columbia, Cabelas, and Huk. All get the job done.

[CenCal fisher]

I wear one. I probably look like a tool but not having to keep putting sunblock on my face is nice

[fishwizzard]

I use them when I have to, but I hate them.  Most days I make do with a sunshirt with a very deep hood, stretched over the brim of my hat.  That plus a pretty full beard seem to work when I am on the bank.  

 

I managed to get the tops of my hands a little sunburned a few weeks ago, that was a new for me.  

[eyedabassman]

I like the SA ones and at a great deal 5 for $15.00! You can't beat that with a stick!

[Columbia Craw]

Mine is a little worn.

 

 

[Firefish Alumacraft]

I use one. from Columbia with cooling rings, when you sweat the rings get cool.. works great

[ScottDB]

Im irish with extremely pale skin. I use a hoorag when I'm in the Sun, it gets a little warm but protects my fair skin. Though I have been known to get burned through my shoes. I had the pattern of the laces outlined in my feet! If I was in the middle of a lake with no shade I'd invest in one of these though I can't risk sun poisoning again

[NHBull]

Heck, I like them wet to keep me cool and also to keep the bugs off.

I use the Simms - Sungaiter in the Hex Camo Capri Color... I have been using them for around 5 years. In Arizona while fishing people have to use them all the time...
