Today’s anglers are more cognizant than ever before of the harmful damage the sun can cause, from not just skin cancers but even just a nasty sunburn at the end of a long and otherwise enjoyable day on the water. Of critical importance is protecting the sensitive skin of the face, neck and ears, areas which are most susceptible to sun damage from prolonged exposure. For years, fishermen have turned to face guards, but most are just a simple tube of fabric left over from performance shirts. They don’t breathe well and also promote fogging when wearing sunglasses.

Fish Monkey turned the corner with a uniquely designed face guard to eliminate these issues. First is the flared design which greatly improves the comfort. After all, we’re a brand built around all-day wearability, so our face guards are designed to offer that same level of performance as our gloves. This new design is worlds apart from the traditional tube in terms of comfort. And there are also some hot new colors and patterns.

The other issue is fogging. Thanks to a series of laser-cut holes in the mouth area, we’re able to virtually eliminate fogging while also making our face guards less restrictive and with less heat retention. And thanks to a lighter fabric that’s more tightly woven than our competitors, Fish Monkey face guards are able to offer a UPF 50-plus level of sun protection for as long as you own the product. And because it’s a lightweight synthetic material, it’s also highly moisture wicking and won’t retain odors from perspiration.

Fish Monkey face guards are also available in some great-looking colors and patterns. There are three shades of Old School Camo—green, blue and grey—plus the world-famous Mossy Oak Bottomland pattern, among others.

Now you can ditch the goopy sunscreens and turn to a product that offers outstanding protection, performance and and all-day comfort on the water: Fish Monkey. For more information, head over to www.fishmonkeygloves.com.
