Fish Monkey gloves are a tool of the trade when handling big fish!
Fishing Smarter Under the Sun with Fish Monkey
Jul 23, 2025
For those who spend their days under open skies—whether sight-casting for reds in the Gulf or chasing largemouths on a glassy lake at dawn—sun protection isn’t just smart. It’s essential. Fish Monkey face guards offer a thoughtfully designed solution that’s built with the needs of serious anglers in mind.
What immediately stands out is the fabric. Fish Monkey face guards are made from ultra-lightweight, four-way stretch material that wicks moisture and dries quickly. On hot, windless days, that breathability makes a world of difference. They also have a flared bottom design, offering extended neck coverage that stays put even when the breeze picks up or you’re moving between casts. Unlike most basic tubular gaiters, which often ride up or leave the back of your neck exposed, this one fits snugly without being restrictive.
Protection-wise, the numbers speak for themselves. With a UPF 50-plus rating, the face guards block over 98 percent of harmful UVA and UVB rays. That’s crucial when you consider how much UV exposure anglers face on the water, especially with sunlight reflecting off the surfaces of the water as well as shiny boat decks. Dermatologists have long warned about the elevated risk for skin cancer among outdoor sports enthusiasts, and the face and neck are among the most commonly overlooked areas. A face guard like this becomes less of an accessory and more of a necessity.
Comfort is also clearly a priority in the design. The addition of a ventilated mouth panel means you can breathe easily and avoid the dreaded sunglass fog. The fabric feels smooth and cool against the skin, and even after hours in the sun, it doesn’t chafe or stretch out. There’s no fiddling or adjusting needed—it just works.
Aesthetically, Fish Monkey gets it right with a variety of colorways and patterns that look as sharp on the flats as they do from the bow of a bass boat. But the real appeal is functional. Whether you’re poling shallow water or trolling offshore, this is gear that holds up to long days, salty air, and sweat without breaking down or losing its shape.
For anglers who already trust Fish Monkey for their gloves, this face protection feels like a natural extension—same quality, same performance-driven mindset.
In a sport where attention to detail makes the difference between a good day and a great one, the Fish Monkey face guard quietly becomes part of your kit. You’ll forget you’re wearing it, and that’s kind of the point. It does its job—protecting you from the elements—so you can focus on yours: fishing.
