The best sun protection for fishing involves a combination of sun-protective clothing and sunscreen. Here are some recommendations:

1，Sun-Protective Clothing: Brands such as SBART offer a variety of clothing options, including hooded performance shirts, neck gaiters or buffs, gloves, and fishing hats. Wearing long sleeves, pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and quality sunglasses can provide excellent protection.

2，Sunscreen: After extensive research, SimplySunSafe recommends BADGER SPF 35 Sport Sunscreen as the best sunscreen for fishing. This sunscreen contains Zinc Oxide, which is a physical-based sunblock that sits on top of your skin and is not absorbed into your body like chemical-based sunscreens. It’s also recommended to look for sunscreens that contain Titanium Dioxide.

Avoid sunscreens with the following active ingredients as they can be harmful: Oxybenzone, Avobenzone, Benzophenone , MBC, Homosalate, Octocrylene, and Octinoxate.

Remember, no matter what brand of sunscreen you use, it’s important to apply it properly and reapply it every two hours, or more frequently if you’re sweating or wiping it off.
