Head and neck protection

  • Finntrail · Head and neck protection

    How do you cover your head and neck by the water?

    Head and neck protection for fishing covers the places that sun, wind and rain reach first by the water. Here you will find the TUBE 9800 gaiter with UPF 50, which you can wear as a neck gaiter, face mask, bandana or thin hat, and two water resistant hats. For summer, TUBE 9800 is the first thing worth having; for a windy autumn, WATERPROOFHAT 9711.

    How to choose, when it is not the right fit, and FAQ

    When it helps

    • •A sunny day on the water: the TUBE 9800 gaiter (UPF 50) covers the back of your neck and throat, which the sun bakes all day in a boat.
    • •A windy lake bank: WATERPROOFHAT 9711 fits snugly and protects against wind and damp.
    • •A cold, rainy autumn morning: HAT WATERPROOF 9714, whose membrane keeps the rain out while fleece warms the inside.

    How to choose

    Choose by season: in summer the sun matters most, in autumn the wind and rain.

    When you need something else

    • •Protecting your face from mosquitoes: anatomical masks with an insect repellent finish are in the UV protection category.
    • •HAT WATERPROOF 9714 does not suit a warm day: the fleece lining is made for cold, damp weather.
    • •Protecting your eyes from glare on the water: for that you need glasses.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is TUBE 9800 suitable for a hot day in a boat?

    Yes: the gaiter is made from UPF 50 fabric and covers the back of your neck when there is no shade in the boat. Pulled up to the nose it covers your face as well, and twisted on your head it becomes a thin hat.

    Which hat should I choose for a rainy autumn morning by the river?

    When it is raining and cold, take HAT WATERPROOF 9714: the membrane stops rain from soaking through the hat and the fleece lining keeps you warm. If there is only wind and no rain, the lighter WATERPROOFHAT 9711 will do.

    Does a membrane hat make your head sweat?

    The HAT WATERPROOF 9714 membrane lets sweat escape, so when you walk along the bank your head gets less damp than under a hood without a membrane. Still, it is warm, so it is made for cool weather, not summer.

    What size is TUBE 9800?

    TUBE 9800 comes in one universal size, so you do not need to measure. Hat sizes are on the product pages, and general Finntrail charts are in our size guide.
