If you’ve ever tried to wrangle kids for another round of sunscreen - you know the struggle.
Sticky hands. Teary eyes. Sand sticking to everything. And within half an hour, they’re back in the water or sweating it all off again.
That was me on every single camping trip. Until I found something better: UPF50+ long sleeve fishing shirts.
And before you picture a bright blue shirt covered in fish prints - don’t worry, ours are Not a Fishing Shirt. They’ve got all the protection, none of the ugly.
🌞 The Problem with Sunscreen (That No One Talks About)
We’ve been told sunscreen is the only way to stay safe from the sun - but here’s what most people don’t know:
- It wears off fast. You need to reapply every 2 hours, or sooner if your kids are swimming or sweating.
- Most people miss spots. Shoulders, backs of hands, neck — all the areas that burn first.
- The ingredients can irritate sensitive skin. Common chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate have been linked to hormone disruption and skin irritation.
- It’s messy and impractical when camping. Try getting sunscreen off little hands before handing out snacks… it’s chaos.
So I started asking myself - why am I fighting this battle when I could just cover them up?
My Sun-Safe Solution: Long Sleeve Fishing Shirts
These UPF50+ shirts block 98% of UV rays, keep you cool, and protect the skin all day without reapplication. And because they’re made from breathable, moisture-wicking fabric, the kids didn’t complain once.
