Simms SunGaiter

Simms SunGaiter is built for the days when the sun is the real opponent — full face and neck coverage that doesn't leave you breathing through a balaclava. Updated for 2026 with mapped cooling technology and a vented front flange, the stretchy, quick-drying SolarFlex® fabric delivers UPF 50+ protection without the clammy, overheated feeling of older sun coverage.

Features

• Lightweight, breathable polyester-spandex stretch fabric that dries fast and moves with you
• Mapped cooling technology through the front face flange and rear panels for genuine airflow, not just fabric with holes cut in it
• Vented front flange for unrestricted breathing
• UPF 50+ sun protection across the full face and neck
• Covers from the top of your nose down to your shirt collar, with enough height in the back to wear over or under your favourite hat

Simms SunGaiter: On the Water

This is the gaiter for long days chasing species that keep you out under full sun for hours at a stretch — sight-fishing yellowfish or tigerfish on bright, exposed water, or working the flats and coastal margins where there's no shade to speak of. Full coverage without needing to reapply sunscreen every hour.
