DermUV
UV Protection for Fishing
Open water reflects 10–25% of UV upward — meaning effective UV under an angler's chin and ears can exceed the forecast.
Recommended gear
For fishing, DermUV recommends SPF 50+ and a reapply interval around 80 minutes, adjusted for sweat, water, and reflection.
Checklist
SPF 50+ broad-spectrum, water resistant 80 min UPF 50 sun hoodie + neck gaiter (buff) Polarized UV400 fishing sunglasses SPF lip balm + sun gloves for the back of hands
