BassFans who've seen Shaw Grigsby, Jr. fishing this year likely noticed his protective head covering. The full headscarf looks a little strange at first, but when you learn more about it, it's darn cool.
He said: "It's a mask that almost all the saltwater guys wear now. And if you remember what they wore on Survivor, it's the same deal. It's extremely comfortable, it protects you from harmful rays, and it's not hot at all. In fact, it's amazing how cool it keeps you. And when you pull it off at the end of the day, you feel like a million bucks."
He said he knows of two companies that make such a product, and he uses both. One's company's Buff, and the other Had.
Grigsby also noted:
> "Our new shirts have a lower collar, and this really protects your neck."
> "It also protects your ears, which is one place a lot of anglers forget to apply sunscreen. I'm not talking about on top of the ears, but inside. I've known a few people who've had cancers removed inside their ear."
> "If you're out in the sun like we are, making sure you're protected is the most important thing. I wear long sleeves, long pants, and also sun gloves that protect everything but my fingers."
