The last few summers my ears have been getting cooked. Don't know why it happens now and only my ears burn. Does a mask work better than that greasy, scented sunscreen? Do they get hot? I already look funny enough and don't need to look any funnier...... Although the mask might be an improvement

Tried them once, couldn't get use to them, too hot, too confining, Now good sunscreen . Got some wide brim hats but I'm not a big fan of them either

I was thinking that too. I'm glad I passed on em. It would have eventually turned into a 28$ eel grip.

There is functionality, and then there's fugly. I don't think you would catch me in one of these.

My bad dude. I think his name is jollymAn anyways. I'm not a member on there but I read it . Lots of James River info. Sorry about that. I didn't even want a facemask, my ole lady was pushing it when we were rod shopping. She's into stupid stuff like that. Thought I could swing it at work and fishing but it's hot enough down here. Don't need that

Hahaha... That's like Brick's girlfriend!!!! I choose functionality over style anyday. If your cold you'll wear anything. But excessive heat trumps all

Hey!!l those hats were a cool trend in the 80s. Around 85-86 I had one i wore with my aviator style glasses while riding my BMX around the neighborhood.

Summer fishing, I went to wearing a large brim straw hat. Keeps the head cool and ear's don't burn. Make sure you get one with a chin strap. Tight lines.:fishing:

You should use at the Pier this summer , You know what they say "Whats old is New again" in the world of fashion. With you in that and Kenny in his hat you'll keep the tourists off the end, you'll need the aviator shades to complete the look

I got a Buff and like it a lot. Usually wear it with a baseball hat seems to keep me pretty cool.

I still might try one. It's still cold so I think it will be at least good for the cold.. BUFF was the brand I looked at. Thanks all

The buffs are nice when the gnats get thick also.
I have the same problem with the burnt ears, a wide brim hat cures that. Looks better than skin cancer.

Didn't even think about the bugs. Good call.

Columbia has a good fitting hat and on amazon there is a few different styles. I hate putting sunscreen on in the summer just to have it run into my eyes when sweating, plus if your wearing polarized glasses the sides of the hat help with the glare. I have a few buffs and only pull them out on extreme conditions (more for the wind and bugs than sun). I've seen adds pop up on YouTube fishing videos pretty cheap, the ones at BPS are around $20

Also, Buff just started making some with bug repellent. Also if you are looking for a buff to keep you warm, you need to get one made for warmth, becuase most buffs are made to keep you cool.

On a serious note - if you ever have to deal with skin cancer (or maybe you already have) you won't think you look funny, feel greasy, or smell like sunscreen, no matter which protection(s) you go for. After your first visit to a derm doc (again, maybe you already have) you'll learn to leave any vanity at the front door.

How right you are my friend.....not fun at all

True that. My ole lady got a piece of her shoulder/arm cut out a few years ago. Nasty scar....The sun down here is intense.
