The Benefits of a Women’s Fishing Dress | Northern Tide Apparel

A New Wave in Women’s Fishing Wear

“At Northern Tide Apparel, we’re redefining women’s fishing gear with a design made for comfort, style, and protection — the original fishing dress.”

 

Fishing has long been dominated by practical gear, but comfort and style were often left behind — until now. The **women’s fishing dress** brings a new balance to life on the water: lightweight, protective, and flattering. Northern Tide designed the fishing dress for women who love the outdoors, it’s made to keep you cool, covered, and confident whether you’re boating, beachcombing, or chasing barra at sunrise.

Built for Sun Protection and Freedom of Movement in a Women’s Fishing Dress

Every Northern Tide fishing dress is crafted with **UPF50+ sun protection**, shielding your skin from 98% of harmful UV rays. The breathable, quick-drying fabric moves with you — no stiff seams, no restriction. Long sleeves and a smart collar protect where sunscreen can’t reach, while extra long zippers or front buttons help air flow when the heat climbs.

> **Why it matters:** In Northern Australia’s harsh sun, protection isn’t optional — it’s essential.

For reference, organisations like the Cancer Council Australia recommend UPF50+ clothing as the most effective form of everyday sun safety.
