Stay focused on the water—not the bugs or the burn. The Simms Fishing Bugstopper® SunGaiter™ is purpose-built for anglers who fish in tough, sun-soaked, insect-heavy conditions. Powered by Insect Shield® technology and UPF 50 SolarFlex® stretch fabric, this lightweight gaiter delivers reliable protection from both biting insects and harmful UV rays. The design features a taller fit that pulls easily over a cap and a longer cape for added coverage at the neckline, ensuring sensitive areas stay shielded throughout the day. Laser-cut breathing holes enhance airflow and reduce fogging, while the quick-drying, moisture-wicking fabric keeps you cool and comfortable during long sessions on the water. From sunrise casts to late-evening hatches, the Bugstopper® SunGaiter™ combines protection, durability, and comfort in one essential piece of gear. Like every Simms product, it's built with authentic angler insight and relentless attention to detail—so you can fish with confidence, season after season.
