FishTank reply :
Looking for recommendations for a good long sleeve fishing shirt that breaths and has a collar.
What are you guys using to keep the sun at bay without getting cooked?

Huk fishing shirts are amazing. Breatheable , lightweight , comfy.
basseditor reply :
I prefer short sleeve shirts and wear sun sleeves. It doesn’t trap heat in your core area because your arm pits get ventilation.
Columbia and Gillz are my favorite.
Russ E reply :
I started wearing these this summer. keeps me cool and blocks the sun.
pretty reasonable on Amazon.
Baleaf brand

I tried this one and it turned into an oven. I was baked by the end of the day. It breathed well at first but when I started to sweat, it just ended up clinging to skin. I have other shirts that are moisture wicking and this one does not do it well. It was what actually caused me to start this topic.

Yeah I don’t have those. I use the air wicking one. It’s rly light weight. It comes in multi color like green/brown/blue or white and grey. It has holes in the sweaty problem areas lol

I do not care for anything with a collar to fish in but I have stuff from Loomis and Cabela's Guide wear. Both are good stuff. Cabelas had a lot of that stuff on sale or clearance last year at the end of the season. Real cheap. When it's real oppressive hot I still believe the coolest thing there is as a cut off sleeves from a cotton tee shirt.
Choporoz reply :
I prefer hoodies. I have Columbia PFG's and Huk Icons. I like the Huk a little better, but both are good.
A-Jay reply :
HUK, Columbia, Simms, and Cabelas all make quality sun blocking shirts.
From pull over quarter zip, to sun hoodies and even the button up with regular collar 'guide shirts' I have & wearing them all at some point in a season.
Sun gloves & some type of head/neck/face covering (Buff type deal) is important to me as well.
Happy Shopping.

Spankey reply :
What's nice about the Guidewear hoodies is that little thumb hole thingy at the bottom of the sleeve that woman have on their clothes. They work great for me because my arms are a little short for my weight. Keeps the bottom of the sleeve from being in my palm.
Brett's_daddy reply :
Academy Sports has some nice sun wear clothes by Magellan at very reasonable prices.
Spankey reply :
Now I could be wrong on this but I think I read or heard all this talk about sun block levels and properties in fabrics is not all it's cracked up to be. I think there were comparisons made to some tee shirts and they were maybe at best slightly better.
The stuff I own I bought because it was loose fitting and light and looked half decent.
Being a river rat I'm most likely not putting this stuff through a really good test compared to you lake anglers that are taking a pounding from the sun. The most recent time of a lot of sun while fishing was on Lake Ontario and I didn't get burnt. I'm sure there are protection properties to the materials.
Koz reply :
I picked up a few Habit Outdoors shirts at Sam's Club earlier this year for about $16 each. They're lightweight until the 92 degree temperature plus 70% humidity kicks in.
Bass_Fishing_Socal reply :
I also prefer hoodie especially when bank fish. I got a few Columbia PFG, pretty reasonable price and breathable. On boat and kayak I don't care much as long as it wicked material and long sleeves, I use sun mask and gloves.
BTW even dark/black color looks cool but not so cool on your body and skin.
fishwizzard reply :
Most of my wardrobe consists of short sleeve button up hiking shirts so generally for fishing I rotate between two of them that have acquired stains or small holes. For days when I know I’ll be cooking in the sun I have a long sleeve hooded shirt from Cabela’s that I’m totally in love with.
looking45 reply :
I've tried a few different brands and I wear Gillz now. Their material is lighter than the others and the shirts have vents on the sides, letting air in to circulate. I use their face masks too.

NHBull reply :
Like many other have said, Columbia gets the call a lot,
But Orvis makes a very lightweight shirt-hoodie.....since I picked up a couple I stopped hearing neckies. They have a sale going now
NE-KID reply :
I mostly wear Pelagic really comfortable and relaxing.
Pelagic Performance
Smalls reply :
The lightest shirts with a collar, that I’ve found, are Under Armor.
I don't think they’re specifically made under UA’s fishing line, but they’re UPF 40 or 50, and extremely lightweight, loose fitting and breathable.

That's a great price ~
I picked up a white(ish) one to wear south of the border this fall.
There's always big wind there in the afternoon so I'm hoping I'm not fighting to try & keep that hood on my squash the whole time.

Log Catcher reply :
The only ones I have are BPS fishing shirts in short sleeve. They do make them in long sleeve. These shirts are okay when you have breeze to help in cooling you off.

I have a ball cap with a short brim, I can pull my hood over the brim which helps hold it in place. I have resorted to using tiny binder clips on occasion when the wind is really strong.

Way north bass guy reply :
I’ve been using world wide sportsman uv shirts for the last couple years, and they work great in any temps. Breath real well and dry super quick if they do get wet. And along with some sunscreen on a few exposed areas and a big brimmed hat, I and my son stay pretty well covered in the boat.

I like it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Further North reply :
Any light weight, loose fitting, button up non-cotton shirt from Simms, Columbia, etc.
Sleeves that roll up and button.
Vented back.
Light colors.
Built in insect repellent (Buzz Off, etc.) is a bonus, and really works well.

Never bought any Orvis stuff before, but heard good things. I ordered the hoodie in your link. Hopefully it's as nice as advertised. I usually don't drop that much on a shirt. Thanks for the link.
Also ordered these gloves. Anybody tried them?

I picked up an ExOfficio Air Strip Shirt from Sierra Trading Post. With coupons and some bonus bucks I got it for $25. It's nice but maybe a little too nice for getting fish guts and sweat all on it. The original price was $90. I think for the price after looking around, I couldn't go wrong. I will definitely be looking into a few of the above suggestions, especially Orvis since we have an Orvis store near by.

I had gloves similar to the Orvis but I sold them because I didn't like the material being between my hand and the rod handle. I felt it cut down on sensitivity. I ordered these and they are great. They protect your hands from the sun and give maximum rod sensitivity.

What are you guys using to keep the sun at bay without getting cooked?
I personally appreciate this thread : I now have to go to the Demonologist twice a year to have pre-cancerous spots removed from my arms , back of hands , head , face and ears . Usually the total is "in the teens" now with respect to the number of spots burned off or if bad enough - cut out ... Last year was 37 spots removed in 12 months . Just last week I was "delighted" that I left with ONLY six spots that had to be burned off leaving the areas mentioned above swollen discolored or blistered . Even when the areas heal - the first thing people do when they meet me is stare at my discolored / disfigured hands and arms . I'm in my early 60's now and did a poor job of sun scree protection when younger on the water in Florida and now have the above regiment to look forward to the rest of my life . **I urge all my Bass Brothers here to please not be a knuckle head like I was in my youth - cover up ! The information regarding skin cancer is plentiful now as well as sun protected clothing and topical lotions are abundant ... Don't be : "That guy" - don't be like me .
looking45 reply :
All fishermen should cover up. Even if you don't get skin cancer, the sun can do a lot of damage to your skin. And you're absolutely right, everyone should see their dermatologist at least once a year.

*Don't want to sound like I was on a soapbox or anything - past military culture being "it's about the person on the left and right of you" mindset ... Accentuating the positive - lots of great products out there to block the sun being manufactured now ! ... I like a loose collard button down short sleeve sun block shirts(currently Magellan Laguna Madre brand) , arm sleeves and gloves along with either a Buff or wide brim Tommy Biffle hat topped off with polarized sun glasses or auto photo gray UV glasses early or late in the day . *Form fitting sun block shirts don't work for me - makes me look like a "save the whales" promotion .
