SUN SAFE CLOTHING

Australia has the highest incidence of skin cancer and sun-related melanomas in the world, so wearing the correct clothing when out fi shing is essential to the enjoyment of a day on the water as well as future good health.

SHIMANO LONG SLEEVE POLO
50+ UV PROTECTION FACTOR: SHARKSKIN

SHIMANO PANTS/ZIP OFF SHORTS
50+ UV PROTECTION FACTOR: SHARKSKIN

Shimano’s Sun Safe Clothing range has been specifically designed to be light and comfortable to wear, while limiting the harmful effects of the sun’s harshest rays.

Made from 100 per cent nylon with a 50+ UV Protection Factor (Australian Radiation Laboratory UPF Rating), the shirts and trousers are designed to keep your skin safe, while doing it in a fair degree of style!

First up, the long sleeve polo has a chest pocket, knitted collar and bands, and a sleeve and pocket Shimano logo print, while the trousers feature two hip pockets, drawstring elastic waistband and Shimano logo on the thigh.

What’s more, the legs can be zipped off to turn them into a comfortable pair of shorts.

The zip-off trousers and long-sleeve polo are shark skin (green/khaki) in colour with contrasting collar and cuffs, and come in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL.

Finally, to make yourself completely sun-safe, Shimano’s new wide-brimmed hat is made of polyester cotton and is available in sizes S, M, L, XL and XXL.

It features an adjustable chin strap and an embroidered Shimano logo on the front.

So, fully kitted out in your Shimano Sun Safe Clothing, just remember to slap some sunscreen on exposed skin before venturing outside and you’ll be set to enjoy a great day’s fi shing with an extremely high degree of protection.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER TO SLIP: SLOP: SLAP

Australia still has the highest rate of skin Cancer!!
