SUN STOPPER

Shirts that can protect you from the sun’s harmful rays are one of the best ways to avoid skin damage while keeping—and looking—cool on the water. The Zhik UVActive shirt delivers on both counts because it’s made of a moisture-wicking synthetic fabric that blocks 99.5 percent of UVA and UVB rays, providing protection beyond 50 SPF even when wet. The breathable polyester fabric is great for hot days on the water, keeping you from overheating while getting the job done. It’s also rugged enough to hold up to a day of rigorous activity on the water, and is snag- and Velcro-resistant. $44.99; zhik.com
