Long-sleeved, light-coloured fishing shirts made from quick-dry fabric block sun and dry fast. Look for a UPF rating if sun protection matters to you. A wide-brimmed hat or cap with a neck flap and a face and neck gaiter protect areas that burn first.

Polarised sunglasses cut glare from the water so you can see fish, structure and the bottom, and they protect your eyes from swinging hooks and lures. Choose a wraparound fit that stays on.

Fishing gloves protect against sun and line burn; cut-resistant gloves help when handling toothy or spiny fish. Non-slip footwear matters on wet rocks, jetties and boat decks. Avoid open sandals where hooks, shells and sharp rocks are common. Thin, breathable socks under shoes help on long walks along rocky shores, and quick-dry trousers are more comfortable than jeans when they get wet.

Lightweight rainwear keeps you dry in monsoon showers; breathable fabrics are more comfortable in heat. On boats and kayaks, always wear a life jacket or PFD. Bright colours make you easier to spot. Carry water and take breaks in the heat. Sunscreen on hands, ears and the back of the neck is easy to forget but these areas burn quickly on the water.

Entry-level clothing covers the basics; mid-range and premium items add better fabrics, fit and durability. Rinse salt out of clothing after trips and dry it in the shade to protect the fabric.
