Looks dooshay imo......spf 50 is really easy to put on. I run across folks wearin these in my kayak all the time. The worst ones are the ones that are printed to look like fish.

How does one drink beer and eat Zapps in that contraption?

I think it looks absolutely ridiculous!
I never see anyone wearing those things except for those yippy boys from the city

i wear one on windy days fly fishing. The only fish print one i have is because it was 15 dollars off haha

I wear one on windy and sunny days. It beats putting on and re-applying sunscreen every few hours, mine is just a solid color though.

I assume it's because skin cancer sucks
I prefer sunscreen
In the winter if I need something for the wind on the boat ride I just use my hunting stuff, I have plenty of it

That's the one I got so 
Made fun of a guy I bring fly fishing and he gave me that one on our next trip. They are actually pretty cool during the summer and I hate reapplying sunscreen all day. I use it more during duck season when I'm making long runs to the blinds, keeps may face from getting scalier than a gators arse. Another bonus is they keep the gnats of my neck and out of my ears, which I can't stand.
All that said, I know I still look gay.

Great lightweight barrier for cold weather. I never wear mine over the face, just the head and ears. Never in summer. Found them last year for $1.98 @ Academy.

I bought a cheap Columbia one from Academy on our last trip. There was was an overestimated cold front front on the way. It just got windy. That little thing was awesome. I didn't wear it like the guy in your pic but I kept my ears and neck covered all day from the wind.

I wear mine around my neck when it is cold. Pull it up over my nose and face when I'm running to another spot, under my save phace. When it is really cold, I have a UA balaclava that is much warmer, but isn’t as comfortable as the buff. Digital desert camo, FWIW.

I'll wear one sometimes. Keeps the sun off when I'm too busy catching hawgs to stop and put on sunscreen. That and when I'm feeling extra salt life.

I used to always wear shorts, a short sleeve fishing shirt and a wide brimmed hat while fishing. Can't tell you how many times I spent the following week applying aloe vera. . . shite gets old.
Finally got around to buying long sleeve fishing shirts, the convertible pants/shorts and a buff. SO much more comfortable out on the water. It's nice not having to deal with sunscreen out on the water.
And like another poster stated: Who gives a frick what someone else is wearing?

Wear it for a number of reasons.
1) Keeps the sun off the neck, ears, and face. Skin cancer sucks!
2) Keeps the gnats off better than anything else.
3) I sight fish reds almost exclusively, and paired with the right glasses and casting platform, it gives me a major advantage over what others are NOT seeing. It helps cut the glare.
4) In the summer you dip it in the ice chest water and you are kept cool for quite a while.
Does it look wierd?... yes!!!! But helps while on the water, so I don't really care what it looks like.

I bought one before my trip to fish the Keys this summer. The guide was wearing one too. It beat getting burned or having to deal with sun block.

I'm about to order one in FRC. Will be good for work under the hard hat.
Posted on 12/11/12 at 11:40 am to Tilco Baller
i use one for my multi-day kayak races. helps with the sun and keeps your hands sunblock free so your paddle doesn't slip and you don't get sunblock in your eyes.
They also help a lot with breathing in gnats and bugs when paddling through the night. used one of these and the yellow shooting glasses at night in a race in Augsut this year to help with bugs and seeing obtacles in the water at night. worked well and didn't have a sunburn to deal with
