Korum Peaked Cap

Korum Peaked Cap

Carp fishing in the sun, whether that’s in the height of the summer or on a cool but bright day, is always more enjoyable than fishing in the pouring rain. However, when the sun peaks out you need to take additional measures to give yourself the best chances of catching your fish, especially as most fish are famously less confident in brighter and sunnier conditions. This is where a properly design sun cap can make all the difference between a successful session and a disappointing one, especially when paired with a set of top end polarised sunglasses.

When you’re fishing in bright sunlight you can come up against no end of obstacles. Firstly you have the sunlight itself to contend with, causing you to scrunch up your face and strain your eyes without adequate protection. A premier peaked cap can prevent hours of eye strain and headaches, as it shades your face from the very worst of the sunlight. This ensures that you’re able to enjoy a crystal clear view over the water, putting you in the very best position to spot the dark shape of your quarry under the water. This Korum Peaked Cap takes things on step further and it feature an extended peak which is noticeably longer than most other angling caps. The extended peak casts a greater amount of shade over your face, cutting out glare form the sun and ensuring that you’re afforded a faultless view over the water. This helps you to more clearly see your fish under the water, giving you the greatest chance of accurately targeting you catch and leaving the bank with a smile on your face.

However, this isn’t the only way that the extended peak on the Korum Peaked Cap can improve your angling enjoyment. As enjoyable as it may be to lie out in the warmth of the sun, sunlight can actually be incredibly damaging. Any dedicated angler knows that it is bad form to leave line laying out in the sun, as the UV rays (contained within the sunlight) can cause devastating damage – bleaching and weakening the line before you’ve even had a chance to put it to the test. These UV rays also damage your skin. UV light can be split into two facets – UVA and UVB. UVB is the most noticeable form of UV light and the damage it leaves can be seen fairly instantly, in the reddening burning of your skin. If you spend a day on the bank in the sun, without sun cream or a proper sun hat, you will more than likely end up with a burnt face. This is the result of your over-exposure to UVB light. The effects of UVA light are much trickier to spot, as these rays can penetrate deep into the dermis. This means that you don’t immediately see the effects that this light can cause on the health of the skin and the real consequences of over exposure to UVA light can be seen much later in life. This can cause a myriad of problems for your general health. A cap, such as the Korum peaked Cap, which shades your face, helps to minimise your risk of over exposure to UVA and UVB light.

The Korum Peaked Cap doesn’t just do a sterling job of sheltering your face from the sun, it also looks good too! It comes in a khaki colour and is finished with an embroidered Korum logo, too. It is available in one size and has a Velcro adjustable strap at the rear in order to ensure that you get the most comfortable fit possible.
