Shirts

Imagine life without skin (scary thought). Skin shields and protects everything inside your body. Radiation from the sun, and ultraviolet (UV) light in particular, is increasing worldwide with the thinning of the protective ozone layer. UV radiation is the most important environmental factor in the development of skin cancer. This makes skin cancer a largely preventable disease when sun protective practices and behaviors are consistently applied and utilized.

UV rays reflect off the water and sand and also reach below the water’s surface. The sun’s rays are generally strongest from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Choose shirts made of tightly woven fabrics that you can’t see through when held up to light. We feature the finest collection of sun protection clothing offered by Hook & Tackle®. The collection features the only U.S. Patented Sun Protection shirt called the Air/X™ offered in long and short sleeves. The vented and stain-resistant DRY TORTUGAS shirt comes in both long and short sleeves.
