Offshore Lightweight Sun Clothing

[PatchReef1650]

Hey All,

I've been searching pretty extensively for a few things online and can't find exactly what I want. If anyone has the time to provide links it would be very helpful.

1) Buff head scarf with eye and mouth holes. I have a normal Buff but it's impractical because I have to take it off every time I want a drink/eat. I've seen people in fishing reports wearing them but can't find them on Buff's website or related sites.

2) Lightweight offshore spf pants that don't require a belt. I want a pair that is either elastic or has a built in strap belt.

I figure I may be able to find the pants at Sports Authority but it's not near my house and it would be easier to purchase online.

Thanks everyone.

Can't help you with #1 but, Columbia Sportswear has pants I believe you are looking for. I also bought some a while ago with elastic and a built-in strap belt from Sportsmans Guide.

UPF is the protection factor used for textiles.

Finding a mask with an opening for the mouth might a be challenge since the masks are designed to protect your lips along with the rest of your face. Here's one with an eye opening but it's not all that much different then a Buff.

Check out the Aruba convertible pants or Air Strip pants both w/elastic waste

This isn't exactly what you are looking for in terms of clothing, but you may find some value in this product.
