Sun Protection for Fishing and Boating

Reliable UPF50+ protection for long days on the water

Fishing and sun exposure go hand in hand

Fishing in Australia often means long hours in direct sun with very little shade.

On the water, UV exposure is even higher due to reflection from the surface. You might not always feel it, but it adds up quickly.

Whether you are:

  • Boat fishing
  • Rock fishing
  • Kayak fishing
  • Shore casting

Sun protection designed for fishing, not just performance wear

A lot of fishing clothing is highly technical or heavy. Other options are casual but offer very little protection.

Sun Ray sits in the middle.

Our UPF50+ sun protection is designed to be:

  • Lightweight and breathable
  • Comfortable for all day wear
  • Easy to move in
  • Suitable on and off the water

It is gear you want to wear from first cast to pack up.

What to look for in sun protection when fishing

UPF50+ certified fabrics

  • Consistent protection for long sessions under open sky.

Face, ear and neck coverage

  • These areas are most exposed when casting, reeling and watching lines.

Secure fit in wind

  • Because the last thing you want is chasing your hat across the deck or rocks.
