Plain T-shirt or UV clothing - which is better for the angler?

What should characterize good clothing for an angler?

Anglers are very careful in choosing the equipment they take with them to the water. They try their best to match the kit to the conditions of the fishery to increase their chances of successful fishing. However, fishing equipment alone is not everything. Equally important is the right clothing to ensure your comfort, freedom of movement and thermal comfort. On summer days, there is a temptation to wear an ordinary short-sleeved shirt and long or short shorts with pockets on the sides.

However, you should be aware that ordinary clothing will not protect you from harmful UV rays, plus it can make you sweat more and make you feel tired faster. Choosing the right clothing is especially important if your hunting stand is in an open area. With no canopy, trees or tall bushes, your entire body is directly exposed to the sun's rays, which are especially strong between 11 a.m. and 15.00.

Good clothing for anglers should be made of special fabric with high UPF. The best quality sunscreen fabrics allow only 1/50th of UV rays to pass through, which means their effectiveness is as high as 98%. Such protection will not be provided to you by a T-shirt made of ordinary cotton. What else speaks for the choice of UV clothing?

UV clothing - why is it worth it?

UV clothing is a type of outdoor clothing that provides a high level of protection against UV-A and UV-B rays. This type of clothing acts as a sunscreen that protects our skin from excessive contact with harmful radiation. At the same time, UV clothing is made of breathable materials that wick away moisture well and provide thermal comfort for hours.

UV clothing is a great option for fishermen, boaters, mountain hikers and many others who are exposed to the sun for many hours during the day. It's always a good idea to have a T-shirt, shorts or sweatshirt with you when you go fishing and you're not sure what the weather will be like.

In our online fishing store, such clothing is labeled accordingly. Manufacturers use the abbreviation UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) to inform customers that they have applied sunscreen to their products. It is a good idea to order UV-filtered clothing even before the fishing season. The garments are available in a variety of interesting colors and are machine washable safely.

UPF factor - what level of protection should you choose?

If you want to find t-shirts for anglers that will protect you from the sun's rays, pay attention to the amount of UPF factor, which protects the body from UV-A and UV-B rays. In clothes made of ordinary cotton, this parameter is about 5. This is far too low to feel safe on the water. In contrast, the amount of UPF in sun-protective clothing can be respectively:

• 15-20 - this is a good level of protection, the level of radiation that reaches the skin is about 6.7-4.2%,

• 25-35 - this is a very good level of protection, the level of radiation that reaches the skin is about 4.1-2.6%,

• above 40 - this is an excellent level of protection, the level of radiation that reaches the skin is less than 2.5%.

The best UV clothing has a UPF 50 or higher filter. You can find these kinds of products in our offer. Colorful sweatshirt with sun protection and anti-insect protection is an ideal choice for fishing enthusiasts. You can fish in it comfortably for days, regardless of the weather conditions outside.

What is the secret of UV clothing?

UV clothing is absolutely unique. Both fashionable T-shirts and designer sweatshirts, pants or shorts provide exceptional comfort during outdoor activities. In such clothing you can fish comfortably on hot days and in cloudless skies.

What makes UV clothing so effective in protecting the body from harmful radiation? Manufacturers use various patents to create high-quality outdoor clothing for their customers. The basis is the choice of raw material with the right properties. UV clothing is mainly made of polyester or nylon. These are materials that are much better at stopping harmful radiation than ordinary cotton.

In this case, the structure of the material and its color also play a huge role. For the production of high-quality UV clothing, thicker and more densely woven materials and appropriate dyes are used.
