MANG, a family-owned Florida-based UPF 50 sun protection clothing brand, introduces its Fight for Wild Florida collection to promote mangrove planting and coastal ecosystem preservation. Featuring lightweight, antimicrobial, and moisture-wicking shirts, this collection supports environmental initiatives while offering versatile apparel for outdoor activities like hiking, fishing, and travel.
West Palm Beach, Florida, United States, 24th Apr 2025, – MANG, a family-owned UPF 50 sun protection clothing brand founded in 2015 by twin brothers Keith and Kyle Rossin, announces the launch of its Fight for Wild Florida collection. This initiative highlights MANG’s commitment to coastal conservation by planting a mangrove tree for every product sold, with over 761,539 mangroves planted to date across South Florida, The Bahamas, and Madagascar.
The Fight for Wild Florida collection features UPF 50 shirts designed for outdoor enthusiasts engaging in activities such as hiking, fishing, and travel. Made with lightweight, odor-resistant, antimicrobial, and moisture-wicking fabrics, the shirts are available in sizes XS to XXXL, up to six colors, and include recycled fabric options. Priced between $40 and $70, these shirts combine functionality with environmental impact, supporting mangrove ecosystems that provide critical habitat for 70% of marine life and significant carbon sequestration benefits.
“MANG was inspired by a vision to protect Florida’s coastlines,” said co-founder Kyle Rossin. “The Fight for Wild Florida collection reflects our Floridian roots and our dedication to preserving the ecosystems we love.” The collection draws inspiration from the brothers’ early days fishing among red mangroves, leading to the creation of their signature MANGroflage pattern.
Additional collections complement the Fight for Wild Florida initiative, including:
Women’s UV-protective shirts for hiking, designed for comfort during outdoor exploration.
Men’s SPF shirts for fishing, offering sun protection for anglers.
Lightweight sun shirts for travel, ideal for versatile, packable wear.
MANG’s efforts focus on mangrove restoration, a cause rooted in the brand’s founding at Vestor Marine Lab in Fort Myers. Mangroves, recognized for their role in carbon storage and coastal protection, align with MANG’s mission to support Florida’s natural landscapes, a priority for its customer base of locals and visitors who enjoy fishing, boating, hiking, and other coastal activities.
The Fight for Wild Florida collection is now available at www.manggear.com. Customers can explore the full range of UPF 50 apparel and learn more about MANG’s environmental impact.
