HOW FISHERMEN CAN BETTER-PROTECT THEIR SKIN WHILE FISHINGΒ
Did You Know UV Rays Penetrate Clothing?
Yes, you heard us correctly. You can, in fact, get sunburnt through your clothing. Believe it or not, it's common.
How is this possible?
While it's true that clothing does provide you some sun protection, it does not provide as much as you would think. Especially when it comes to clothing you can see through, you better believe you're at risk of sunburn. Fact: a typical shirt provides only 7 UPF sun protection.Β Although this is better than not wearing any clothes at all, it means you can and will get a sunburn if exposed to cancer-causing UV rays for long.
There are a few general rules of thumb that you can keep in mind for increased UV protection. I'll list those as bullet points below.
- Wear darker clothes. Darker clothes provide more protection than lighter clothes.
- Wear heavier material. This provides more protection.
- Tighter weave improves protection.
- Stretchy/flexible material decreases protection.
- The same material provides less protection when wet.
But all of those solutions sound very uncomfortable in hot weather.
Well, that's because those things are very uncomfortable! There is a HUGE difference between UV protection and heat exhaustion. Wearing dark, heavy, stiff clothing in the hot sun would be absolutely miserable. Yes, it might protect you from cancer-causing UV rays, but YOU WILL BE BURNING UP! To make it worse, if you get wet while fishing you're now stuck a soggy mess, and you lose your UV protection.
Β So what do you wear?
I think our answer is pretty obvious at this point. The only way to avoid being hot, wet, and to block cancer-causing rays is to wear a high-quality polyester shirt designed specifically to block UV rays.Β We happen to make a wide variety of shirts that do this and much more!
What Makes Our Shirts Better Than Others?
- All of our apparel holds the same standard of UPF 50+ maximum sun protection. This is the most sun protection a piece of clothing can possibly have.
- Β Quick Dry & Moisture Wicking Qualities. Don't worry about losing protection from wet clothes, you will be dry in no time.
- Thin, flexible, breathable material. You won't be sweaty or hot. You will have full protection without sacrificing comfort. In fact, you will be cooler than you would be otherwise.
- Anti-microbial fabric. Stay clean while you enjoy nature.
- Odor Resistant. Leave all the fish stank behind. Trust me, it's for the best.

Our late founder, Glen Newell, created Apparel By Home Run performance fishing apparel.Β As a proud US Navy Veteran that served in the Vietnam War, 80-year old entrepreneur Glen Newell has a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for fishing. Spending a large portion of his life on the water, Glen fell in love with Louisiana and what The Sportsmanβs Paradise offered him. Expanding on his affinity for fishing, Glen runsΒ Home Run Charters Fishing & LodgesΒ company in Venice, Louisiana.
However, along with being an outdoorsman, Glen possesses a keen eye for stylish performance fishing gear. Therefore, with decades of business experience, he combined his talents and ideas, to make his own clothing company,Β Apparel by Home Run.
Glen always says: "I donβt think anyone has a better product than us. Other companies are just slapping a logo on a shirt and calling it a day. Theyβre actually selling it to people. I would never do that. Never.βΒ β Glen Newell, CEO
Long before Glen founded Apparel By Home Run, he started many successful businesses - first as a construction company owner, and then as an owner of Home Run Fishing Charters & Lodges.
Glen wasnβt handed the opportunity to create businesses, likeΒ Apparel By Home Run. In childhood, Glen ran away from home at the 15-year old, to escape domestic violence. Before joining the US Navy, he apprenticed under a MAYO Clinic physician, in exchange for food and a roof over his head. After his apprenticeship, Glen attended and graduated from the Balboa Hospital Pharmacy School in California.
In his service, Glen worked on a ship as a pharmacist and provided medication to those in need, during the trials and tribulations of the Vietnam War. When he returned home, Glen built everything he had from nothing, which displayed the American Dream. All he knows is hard work. Even at 80-years old, he remains relentless with his final business. He works with a passion for everything in fishing, fashion, and community
Glen is a machine when it comes to perfectionism and quality. With his good judgment, he outfitted his company with workaholic individuals, to powerΒ Apparel By Home Run. Thereβs a new fishing apparel company, superior products, a desire to leave its mark, and itβs here to stay. In honor of the United States and all those who served to protect its freedom, Apparel by Home Run is hiring disabled veterans.
