I just wear it on saltwater trips, if you've ever been sunburned on your neck under your chin, you'll never forget it.

I like mine a lot.

One of the things not mentioned, what color?
After talking with several dedicated users who sightfish, they always use darker colors, if not black, so it will not reflect light off their cheeks and cause additional glare.

Glad so many are on board for good sun coverage! One thing I am hearing from manufacturers, and mentioned at the little talk I gave at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries a few weeks ago is: Manufacturers are hedging a bit when it comes to protection as these types of protection (Buff, etc...) get older and have been washed some. I have read recommended replacement at 2-3 years.
(me talking here) - Also, think in terms of protection "lessening" (my words) as these things are stretched across your melon. All anyone has to do is look at fabric as it gets stretched (think tube top if you want), and you know it blocks less ... of everything.
All I know is, on my mug, where the fabric stretches the most, I have real damage. I'LL be adding SmartShield to the arsenal, and since it's distributed by TFO, you will already like it too, right?

No way

I use mine as much to reflect heat as I do sunlight, but then I also sunscreen my forehead and nose as I mentioned above.

I have both the warm weather and the cold weather Buff's as well as Buff gloves. I love them.

When I surf fish - I used to just wear cap and sunglasses. When morning overcast burns off, I would forget to put sunscreen (too busy trying to catch fish... lol).
Recently I started to purchase face masks. I'm not a huge fan of skulls or clowns (too loud for me). Came across a site that has a decent collection of fishing face masks https://www.solmask.com/collections/fishing

I use the salt armor buffs. I kept looking for wide brimmed hats to cover my neck and ears. They worked ok but if it was windy the brim would beat me up or get blown up which exposed my neck. I like the buffs because they stay put. They are also good at keeping bugs off of your face/neck.

Wowza, this is from 2013. Talk about blowing the dust off. Most of these poster vacated TFF years ago.

I'm yelling shinanigans

I have a beard. I can not imagine wearing one of those with a beard. Actually I have a hard time imagining it being comfortable in the summer with or without a beard. My beard and my pith helmet seem to be getting me by pretty well.

But then I don't use sun screen either, I just let my skin get tanned. Like nature figured out for us a long time ago. I imagine some day that we're going to find out that sunscreen has bad effects of some kind - putting chemicals all over the body just has an anti-intuitive feel to it. So I'd wear that mask before using sunscreen. If I just had to.

Go fishing sometime in the southern latitudes near the equator, anywhere in the World, and see how the locals use the face masks. In fact, try to find one who is on the water every day without it, LOL. They never leave without them. There may be a message there.

It isn't about style, its about function and they are an essential part of my gear no matter where I'm fishing.
