New & Top Products For Spring/Summer 22
Brackish Tops
Lightweight Sun Shirts
The Brackish Top was designed to be as versatile as the anadromous species found in the transitional points of estuaries, mangrove swamps, and salt marshes where freshwater and seawater mix. For those folks not in the fishy know, those species are salmon, and brackish water is exactly as described - where fresh meets salt. Analogies aside, these tops are sure to become summer favorites for all sorts of folks. From fishing and paddling to mountain biking and hiking, they can do it all. Whether your adventure takes you inland or offshore, BlackStraps’s SUNsoft fabric is UPF 50+ rated for sun protection with hooded and crew styles available for men, women, and children.
