"The Simms Sun Gaiter provides exceptional protection from the sun all day comfort will keep you wearing them!"
— Leroy B. (5/5)
"I’ve been wearing the Daiwa face gaitor and love it but get 5-6 months before it stretches out and I have to replace. I tried Simms only because of great reviews and it’s double the price of Daiwa. After testing I can say the two are absolutely identical in cut, fit and performance. It’s great but definitely not worth double the price."
— Griff (4/5)
"Fits great, snug where it needs to be to stay put, breathe holes that breathe. Very good piece that does what it is designed to do."
— Matt N. (5/5)
"Great gear"
— Shaun M. (5/5)
"No sunburn after wearing it for two weeks on the saltwater; a surprise for a ginger complexion. Material and breathing holes made it more comfortable to wear for 8 hours than other buffs I've tried. The fit seems to better match a larger head and face as the sides and head area flapped in the wind; not so for the larger-faced anglers."
— Marion (4/5)
"This is the best fitting sun gaiter out there, period. Great breathability for what it is, the nose holes really help."
— DAX M. (5/5)
"cannot be on the flats without this."

"Most comfortable and breathable sun gaiter I’ve tried. The small holes in front of your mouth really help with not fogging up your glasses."
