New UV-cut items for women, upcycled from discarded fishing nets, are now available from "Shipsmast," a fishing wear brand for female anglers.
[New UV-cut products made from discarded fishing nets, gentle on both skin and the environment]
With the desire to "raise awareness for a beautiful ocean," Shipsmast, a fishing brand that loves the sea and fish, has created a face cover and arm cover using recycled discarded fishing nets to shield against strong sunlight. These new products protect women from UV rays while enjoying fishing or during daily outings.
The fabric used is "Parigi" from Italian company Carvico. It is a thin, smooth, stretchy material with reliable UPF50+. Its water-absorbing, quick-drying, and contact-cooling properties ensure comfort even under the hot summer sun.
[Face cover that allows easy breathing and thoroughly guards the entire face]
Face covers that cover the nose and mouth have traditionally made breathing difficult and hydration challenging during long periods of wear. The new product features a design with a ventilation space at the mouth overlap, allowing for easy breathing even during fishing trips or outdoor work in scorching heat. It is also possible to drink beverages without removing the cover.
It thoroughly covers areas prone to sunburn, such as cheekbones and under the chin.
The ear loops are adjustable with soft silicone stoppers, and the back of the neck has a button closure for a preferred fit.
The longer neckline naturally covers up to the collar of a T-shirt.
This item is active not only for fishing but also for all outdoor scenes with strong sunlight, such as gardening and walking.
[Arm cover that thoroughly covers the gap with a T-shirt, with a comfortable fit and less constriction]
Designed with a longer overall length than the previous model, preventing sunburn in the gap with a T-shirt.
The upper arm part uses highly elastic rubber, achieving a comfortable fit with less constriction even during long periods of wear. (Compared to our previous model: length +6cm, upper arm opening +1.6cm)
When worn over short sleeves, there is no gap, and the length covers up to the back of the hand, making it convenient not only for UV protection during fishing trips but also for daily scenes such as cycling and driving.
In addition, the internal adjustment function allows for adjusting the fit of the upper part, accommodating a wide range of arm sizes.
[Commitment to materials: Upcycling discarded fishing nets]
The material adopted this time is nylon primarily made from recycled discarded fishing nets.
Since recycled nylon and conventional nylon have the same original raw material, there is no difference in appearance or texture. However, recycled nylon derived from waste can reduce CO2 emissions during production and disposal, leading to a reduction in marine waste problems and decarbonization. Upcycling has been realized in familiar products.
This series embodies the desire to protect women's skin while preserving the beauty of the ocean.
