Choosing the Best Clothing for your Kayak Adventure - Fish King Clothing
My name is Marleigh Sayers and I am the owner of Fish King Clothing. We make high quality sun protection clothing for Men, Women and Kids. At the end of 2011 my husband Kip and I set out to travel Australia, we spent a lot of time on the water and found the need for better quality in sun protection clothing.
When you are out in your kayak, you couldn’t be more exposed to the elements. You are not only exposed to the cold in winter, and heat in summer, but all through the year, you are completely vulnerable to UV rays. In the harsh Australian sun, it can literally only take 15 minutes to get sunburnt. Over 2,000 Australians die from skin cancers every year, and 2/3 of Australians are diagnosed with skin cancer before the age of 70. If these facts aren’t enough to make you wear protection in the sun, then maybe you should rethink your kayaking hobby.
The elements do not discriminate, and that is why you should be wearing protective clothing whenever you are out in your kayak. We’ve put together the best protective clothing, from head to toe, to make sure you can still be enjoying the sun and water in your kayak for many years to come.
