Bomber Gear’s Baja UV Protection Top is perfect for summer paddling. Its odor control fabric manages moisture to keep my skin feeling dry and, with a little splash on a hot day, the silkweight layer keeps me cool in blazing heat and sun. The UPF protection fends off nasty burns and embarrassing PFD tans. Both men’s and women’s specific sizes are cut lower in the back for comfortable coverage while paddling.
