I have tried other brands, and what I like about Fish Monkey is the neck area is flanged for better protection. I wear Fish Monkey neck gator(s) daily. I work in a naval shipyard and cannot stand applying sunblock as the grit attaches to the sunblock. Very messy by the end of shift. I also wear them golfing, pool side, yard work and sport fishing in Mexico. Pretty much anytime I am outside I have a Fish Monkey neck gator on. They are light weight and super easy to clean. At the end of the day I wet them in the sink then use Fels-Naptha soap bar to clean them, rinse and hang dry.
