Best Sun Protective Clothing

[Lead Head]

@DaubsNU1 Yes! So lightweight I originally thought it was thin and cheap. Turns out, its thin and tough. Makes a terrific warm weather hat. Not very water repellent, and sinks pretty quick if you let it hit the water.

I live in south Florida where Sun and heat live pretty much all year long. Of the sun shirts I’ve found Huk makes the best most breathable ones, especially their vented shirts where there is a mesh panel from the armpit down the side. They are expensive but worth it imho. I’ve found some knockoffs on Amazon and the material is noticeably heavier, they work Ok but on scortching hot days I always go back to my vented Huk shirts.

I have Magellan, Columbia, aftco, simms, cabelas guidewear, and huk. Some have hoods some don’t. I can’t tell a difference in any of them. I just grab whatever out of the closet at 430am. 
I also have about 5 buff and worldwide sportsman facemasks. Buff gloves. 
And wear Magellan fishing pants. 
All with a regular ball cap.

Shorts, flip flops, and sunscreen seems to work.

Yes sir, i've certainly seen them quite a bit. An underlying goal of my original post was to see if some folks preferred a certain brand over the other.
