UV Protection Sun Sleeves?

[Dave Legacy]

I like to wear Quiksilver long-sleeve rash guards. I'm 6'4" 160# and they work well for me; They dry quickly and are meant to get wet.

6'4", 160#? How do you keep your kayak down in the water? I'm 5'10" and when I was 160# everyone thought I was dying or something, to stop everyone from worrying I got my weight back up to 220#, now only my Dr worries about me.

A bit pricy but I love the one I got from them.

I usually go with the full shirt. The sleeves can be annoying at times. I wear the sleeves when running and cycling, not for kayaking.

This might be a key component in why you and I have had such differing experiences with the same model of kayak? My metabolism is crazy active, so I have been tall and lanky my whole life. It's cool that I can eat whatever I want without any visible consequence, but it's a silent killer. I have to try hard to not go nuts and lead myself toward a heart attack!

I was like that until I turned about 35, then everything changed and weight was hard to keep off. A combination of hard work and a high metabolism meant I was eating 5 meals a day and not putting on weight but that all changed. Now I have to watch everything I eat and I don't work hard any more. It's probably also why my boat sits low in the water. Are you part of OEX Dave?

I wasn't sure, I know they took good care of me when I bought the Malibu P2T though I wish I had waited and bought something different. It is doing the job right now but it is hard to set up for fishing. I can't figure out if I want the Native Tandem or the Jackson Cuda. I want to find something easy to paddle but stable so my wife feel secure. I need to paddle both solo so I can see how it will work for me but I also need to get her in them so we can see how they work tandem. In the meantime I need to stop in one of the stores and have them install another hatch on the P2T.

Looks like only XL's though. Just went back to the site to get one for myself and realized this
