Fishing Apparel 2024
loudcherokee reply :
What are you guys wearing to stay cool and dry while fishing? I've got a polo shirt from Adidas that is a dri fit sweat wicking material and has vents in it, but I've only got one and it wasn't cheap.
Also looking for something that has a little UV protection and that doesn't break the bank. Finding something that wicks moisture, blocks UV, keeps me cool, and is affordable seems to be impossible.

I just ordered some Dri-Fit long sleeve shirts with SPF protection made by Haines from Amazon. They seem like they would be super comfortable but I guess we will see. Otherwise I'm normally wearing an angler type shirt and the convertible or zip-off pants that turn into shorts.

Www.customfishingjerseys.com, A.k.a.,The winning Team. They do fishing jerseys, our clubs jerseys came from them at a reasonable price. Super cool in the heat and wick moistened material.

I thought about one of those, and I wouldn't mind having some logos of my favorite fishing products companies to show my support, but I kept reading about having "permission" or "authorization" to have these logos. Same with the bass resource jerseys. I'm not sponsored by anyone lol.

I have had very good luck with http://www.duluthtrading.com/ The Men's CoolMax Cotton Longtail T Shirt is nice but my favorite is the MEN'S ARMACHILLO LONG SLEEVE COOLING SHIRT This isn't exactly the shirt I have I don't see them but it looks like a new version of what I have.
FEATURES
- Ultra lightweight, moisture-wicking and durable 2.5-oz. 100% nylon
- Made-in-the-Jade™ fabric technology makes this shirt feel cool to the touch
- Improved! Mesh back removed to put more cooling fabric in contact with skin
- UPF 40 protection against sunburn
- Button-through sleeve tabs – rolled up sleeves stay up
- Bellowed pockets with hook-and-loop closures; pencil sleeve in the left, phone sleeve in the right
Very comfortable and cool and I do work outside in Texas all summer. They have held up very good the ones I have are 3 years old and not one thread has come loose and the colors still good. Not dirt cheap but as much as i work in them and they have lasted 3 years and easily have another year in them I will gladly buy them at $60 a shirt. (They usually always have a sale on stuff there)
Scott F reply :
No jerseys for me. I have to have pockets. I use the long sleeve, quick dry shirts with the vents in the back. Most of mine are from Columbia or Bass Pro.
Turkey sandwich reply :
I have a few vented long sleeve Columbia SPF shirts that are great. I burn super easily, so the sun protection is huge.
Bluebasser86 reply :
Academy has Columbia and Magellan fishing shirts on sale all the time, the ones with built in sun protection. I get burned if the moon is too bright, so I have to keep myself protected and sunblock sucks so these type shirts are the best option for me.
Slade House reply :
Go to tackle warehouses site, and go to the "apparel" and then "sun protection" page. my expereince from fishing in sunny souther california all year long would tell you this.
the best? any of the simms *** longsleeve shirts. any of the simms sun stuff is amazing. i love the arm sleeves they make .
next i would say aftco, and then columbia. the missle bait face shield is amaizing too
bradco reply :
HUK fishing shirts are very comfortable and have vents inside of arms and lower back. Have SPF as well. You can also buy from them direct. Just my 2 cents
jbw252 reply :
Columbia & Simms, both in the long sleeve vented. Great quality.

tander reply :
I wear any long sleeve that is SPF. I have several from Coolibar that I like. They have some nice polo type shirts that I golf in. I also wear a sunhat from SundayAfternoon. I wear shorts so I use sunscreen on my legs. Considering getting from gloves from Simms.
RichF reply :
The under armour iso chill line (which I think is called cool switch now) is awesome stuff. The material actually does feel cool to the touch and the shirts have mesh venting from the armpits all the way down. They're pretty expensive at $65 a pop but I think cabelas might have the older styles for half off.
A-Jay reply :
Been a long time fan of Columbia PFG and Cabelas Guide wear for most all of my performance fishing apparel needs.
Last season I picked up a few items from the HUK line up of gear ~ I really like it.

Fishes in trees reply :
Cabelas & BPS house brands of fishing clothes work ok. I 've got a couple of Columbia shirts that work ok. The issue for me is that I like a "suit" look and finding a shirt & shorts set that match is an issue. Not too many of them out there. Living in Missouri, I find that the long sleeve fishing shirts & sunscreen work good for me. I haven't felt the need to get the fishing gloves yet.
On the same subject, I had a fishing buddy who had to get his ears trimmed a little bit due to skin cancer - nothing serious, he is going to be ok, but it was a wake up call. I remember to put sunscreen on my ears AND wear a hat that covers tham. Last time I checked with my doctor he said that ought to be enough.
iabass8 reply :
I always weat long sleeves. Big fan of nike drimax half zips and simms long sleeves. Ill be trying one of those vented HUK shirts this year.
contium reply :
I'm generally not one to avoid the sun but when fishing for 12+ hours it's a necessity. I have a shaved head so I also need back of neck protection. I've been wearing the AFTCO Samurai hooded performance long sleeve fishing sun shirt with a baseball cap. They are around $40. I got it for $30 at The Fred Hall Show. Very cool and comfortable.

I've got a couple of the Columbia SPF hoodies and I love them. Cool enough, even in August, but loose enough to wear a tshirt or light sweatshirt underneath in spring/fall. Around $26 each.
blckshirt98 reply :
One thing to point out is that all of the special "Clima" or "Cool" or "Dri" technology clothing is basically 100% polyester. You might see some that mixes in 5% spandex but it's almost always just going to be polyester. You don't need to spend the $30-$40 brand name premium for those special quick dry "tech' shirts. Check places like The Clymb or Sierra Trading Post for quick dri UPF rated polyester t-shirts and you'll basically be buying the same thing for half the price.

I posted in haste without looking up the science and edited my post so I don't mislead anyone. UPF is what you want to look at and there's a lot of factors that seem to go into the UPF rating, from color of the material, density/thickness of material, and tightness of weave. Every piece of clothing has some UPF protection but the ones that are rated by a manufacturer have been tested so you get some "guarantee", but that's not to say another piece of clothing that hasn't been tested doesn't offer the same amount of UPF protection.
I looked up some info on a few sites and here's a couple that sums up the clothing/UPF stuff pretty well, which I think everyone should spend a couple of minute to read because it's not as cut and dry as it seems -

contium reply :
I use cheaper technical shirts like Hanes Cool-Dri for other thing like Spartan races, etc. They work pretty good. I have worn them fishing. However, I also have a few "premium" shirts by AFTCO, HUK etc and they are cooler and more comfortable and look better (fit better). It's not like they make them. They are all sourced from China. I'm sure it's just the weave and cut but I'm fine with paying a bit more for a shirt that I'm wearing for extended periods is more comfortable. Problem is, you have to try them on to know what is comfortable on you.
J Francho reply :
I wait for the Columbia PFG shirts to go on sale. I like Dickies work shorts from the wall marts.
Master Bait'r reply :
Looser fitting wicking long sleeves are the best. Lighter colors stay cooler also fwiw.
I just got one that I believe is a Columbia button down style fishing shirt w vents, and only got it because it was on clearance. Gander mtn has nice ones too, you've just got to be patient and wait for a sale as they are expensive pretty much everywhere.

If you use their stock logos you do not need permission from any company. I had to get permission to use non-stock company logos for the sponsors we have for our club. But all they did was and in their company logo via email and that was a good enough permission to add them to our jerseys.
blckshirt98 reply :
I never replied with what I wear! As a shore guy I use waterproof boots or light hiking shoes depending on conditions, a pair of convertable hiking/outdoor pants for my legs (same ones year round, they stay dry and cool and are UPF rated, and I never use the convertable feature), a polyester "dri" shirt (various brands, I wear these to the gym and they keep my cool and dry and I think some are UPF rated and there's Nike, Russell, Champion, Oakley, Simms, Under Armour, Adidas, generic brand all mixed), a Buff neck gaiter that I usually have pulled up over my neck and ears, sunglasses, and a boonie hat. I also use sunscreen on my arms face and neck as after a full day I can feel some UV burn on my neck area if I don't use extra sunscreen. I'm pretty paranoid about the sun and make sure I'm always covered and try to fish while standing in shade whenever possible.
GetBent reply :
I like to wear these, but I am south Texas and burn easy. Not to hot and I like the built in buff and the thumb hole in sleeves protect the back of your hands.

I'm often out there in my cargo shorts, flip flops, Iron Maiden t-shirt, and my Tigers cap.
loudcherokee reply :
Lots of options for me to look at guys! Thanks for the replies. I'm really liking the look of the fish hide and huk stuff. That's a bit more suited to my style than the button ups, but if I can find one of those button ups for cheap (on sale) I may have to get one.

i scored some real deals on some columbia shirts and hoodies at a columbia outlet store close by. if you have one around you that you know of, might be worth checking out. if you're looking to wear them as your sun protection, i would get one that has a reputation for working and not to cheap out necessarily... skin cancer ain't cheap from what i hear.

Cool! There's some Tanger outlets in Pigeon Forge that are pretty close by. I may have to make my way up there and stop by Bass pro on the way :-)

These look awesome, I might have to get one. I bought Simms sunsleeves for my arms but never get around to wearing them because I have enough pieces to put on as it is. This piece would cover shirt, sleeve, hands, neck, head all in one go and I like some of the nice neutral colors they offer.
EllisJuan reply :
I wear polos...usually Columbia Utilizer or Columbia Perfect Cast. I had heard good things about Huk, so I ordered one of these: http://www.sierratradingpost.com/huk-high-performance-polo-shirt-short-sleeve-for-men~p~114uk/?filterString=s~huk%2F&colorFamily=03 but I have not worn it yet.

Thanks for the link, definitely gonna pick up some of the camo stuff.
TxHawgs reply :
Recently moved to Tx and will be placing a TW order. And in that order is gonna be a bunch of sun protection gear as I currently own none. Wish a local store carried some as u never know how some companies sizes run, I'm between LG XL. I love all the camo stuff, HUK, Under Armor, Simms ect. A local ma and pa bait store by me has these awesome Lew's jerseys that are made for the sun, they have the Lew's emblem on them in black, shirt is silver w long sleeves. Very soft and light for only $25! Want to order a pair of the Simms sun gloves, not the guide series. Does anyone own these? How do they hold up and fit?

I had a chance to get out on the water today and the Haines Cool Dry long sleeve shirts with UPF protection seemed to be ok. They are very thin but I didn't get burnt through it and it allowed for plenty of air flow. I may have to pick up a bunch more of the.

I have about 6 pairs of the simms sun gloves and love them. Super comfortable. I've been able to get about 2 seasons out of a pair and I fish a lot.

Cool thanks man, have u seen the guide series and tried them on by chance?

Talking about gloves. Buff makes some great gloves. I really enjoy Simms clothing but I have to say the buff gloves I like better.

Haven't tried them but they look way more durable with the full palms. I imagine they would be a little warmer though. Sierratradingpost has the guide gloves for a pretty good price.
blckshirt98 reply :
I have some Simms sun gloves with the open palm and finger loops (
) and to be honest they feel weird and I don't like them. I got some of the basic Phenix open finger gloves instead () and I MUCH prefer these.

Fruit of the Loom pocket T-shirt, raggedy old jeans, wide-brimmed hat and Adidas sneakers. Abu Garcia hoodie if it's cold.
Nothin' fancy.

sun protection, Columbia or BPS and a straw hat.
Cool and dry, now that is not possible in MS summers.
DINK WHISPERER reply :
Gillz shirts for me. They have an integrated sun mask and vents that run along both sides of the shirt and sleeves. Super comfortable and they dry really fast if you get rained on.
