Traveler2586 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 My wife bought me an obnoxious colored Columbia shirt, I would call it "Bright Coral", what the hell was she thinking of. I't's been hanging in the closet for 3 years, unworn. What size and style is it? I might be interested for 50% off on a three year old shirt. Quote
fxdwgkd Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 I just recently returned from KY Lake. I got a little burnt on Sunday and Monday went out and got this shirt. I really like the shirt. When you sweat the breeze lifts the moisture and cools you. I was pleasantly suprised at how well the shirt worked at keeping me cool. They do run small and are a compression type shirt. I bought a 2xl and it fits loose, which is hte way I want it to fit. Quote
Big-O Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Most all of my shirts are Magellan brand and are relatively inexpensive avg. $25 and hold up well to my use and conditions. I wore about 6 of them full time for a season and was more than impressed so now I have 20 or more. The Lake Fork model cottons are the ones I wear and are spf 20. They make nylon that is spf 50... haven't tried those as of yet. www.ragetail.com Quote
Fishing Cowgirl Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 If you have a Bealls outlet nearby, that is a great place to get men's Columbia fishing shirts at a discount. I rarelt see women's Columbia shirts at the outlet, but I have worn the Men's if it is a small or medium size. Ditto on the floppy hat with brim or the shade hat with neck flap and sun buff. I wear the gloves too. My husband likes the Columbia or World Wide Sportsman. He wears them to work until they get a stain I can't get out, then they become a fishing only shirt. Quote

WookieeJedi Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 The main problem I have with fishing shirts is the sleeve length. I wear a 38" sleeve, so if anyone knows which brand will fit me, it would be appreciated. Quote
Traveler2586 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Rolo, This is the exact one I got, pink and all, and it says it has UPF sun protection??? I have only had it on once and I was just adding it was nice! http://www.underarmo...eeve/pid1004211 ...................... Jeff Shows just how much I know,,, I thought they only made the Cold Gear stuff. I was hoping that it would contour my body like the catalog show,, but no luck Quote
Big-O Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Where do you find them Big O? Same question for your camo shorts; I think they're digital camo aren't they? Shirts online at Academy... Shorts (not sure of patterns but not digital) are at Wally world where Bigguns shop www.ragetail.com Quote
Traveler2586 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Shirts online at Academy... Shorts (not sure of patterns but not digital) are at Wally world where Bigguns shop www.ragetail.com LOL, I thought I recognized those shorts while walking through wally World the other day, that's why I asked. I was looking for "The Monkey" WOW, I just went to Academy S+O (don't want to advertise here) and found the shirt. Thanks for the tip!!! A good looking shirt for only $19.99. The description reads: "Be prepared for your next fishing trip with the Magellan Sportswear® Men's Laguna Madre Fishing Shirt. The fishing shirt features pockets with drain holes and a waterproof pouch (that's in case you fall in). The vented cape back helps keep you cool, and the shirt has UPF 50+ protection to shield you from the sun's harmful rays. Rod loop. Button-down style." Steve, you just made a big fan of me. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted May 15, 2012 Super User Posted May 15, 2012 Has anyone ever used that rod loop? Quote
Rangerphil Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I have a few Columbia PFG and love them. My wife bought me a under armour one this spring and I love it! It not only keeps you cool but somehow it keeps me warm on cool mornings. I do not know about SPF rating I know it has one but they are worth checking out! Also, she bought it at a outlet store so it was relatively inexpensive something like 35 dollars. Quote
Traveler2586 Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 Has anyone ever used that rod loop? Ya, it's great for holding my glasses,,, or my clippers that I have on a pull cord. Quote
