After all, what else could you wear that would protect your head, face and neck plus improve your vision on a bright, sunny day. Of course, your trusty cap with a removable neck cape. The bonus with Aqua Design is the way you will blend in to nature while wearing your trusty cap. Don’t forget, if you can see the fish, the fish can see you.

Our Voyager Fishing Cap is extremely comfortable and quick-drying due to the wicking AquaPoly fabric. This cap is a must for any angler who wants to maximize their camouflage system. Sizes 6 – 7 5/8, (18″ – 24″).

According to The Skin Cancer Foundation, “one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime.” That’s a sobering statistic.

So with this type of  information, what are some of the ways anglers can protect themselves while in the outdoors?

First, keep the sunscreen handy. Look for brands that provide both UVA and UVB protection. Your dermatologist, doctor, or local pharmacist should have some recommendations for you. And if the directions advise it, reapply often during the day.  Second, look for headwear and clothing that provide a UPF (ultra-violet protection factor) rating. Here is a UPF guideline:

• UPF 15 – 24 | Good Protection
• UPF 25 – 39 | Very Good Protection
• UPF 40 – 50+ | Excellent Protection

For more information about UPF, read this article. All Aqua Design products feature a UPF rating of 30 or higher.
Third, some fingerless sun protective gloves can provide excellent protection on exposed wrists and hands. They can also help you grip a rod handle better too.

And lastly, don’t forget about the uv protective sunglasses. Reflections from water can be hard on the eyes. Plus, you will see fish below the surface much better with uv lenses.
