Thanks in advance for replies - I need to ditch all my cotton T-Shirts used for fishing as I'm tired of feeling like a soaking wet rag in Georgia heat and humidity !

Columbia and Aftco seem to be the lightest and most comfortable for me. Columbia’s seem to have a little more “room” in em.

I like the Magellan one I found on clearance at Academy this winter.

I have several of the Magellan shirts and have been really happy with them. I have little to compare them to since I've never spent the money on any higher end shirts, but they seen to meet everything you're looking for in a $20 shirt.

Agree on the Magellan shirt from Academy. Works good, plenty of pockets, and reasonable price.

I like my Columbia shirts, haven't tried any others though.  Haven't felt the need to!

Another Columbia fan here  - and I'm bigger guy - 6-5, 285  - and I find their shirts to be very comfortable

Orvis Tech T-shirt. Micro polyester. Comfy on the skin. SPF 50 that's legit. I never get sun burned wearing them and I'm as white as a sheet of paper due to the Irish half. I prefer the white shirts over the grey on high sun days. They dry quickly once wet. They're pricey but worth it to me. But they only seem to come with a big fish plastered on the back if that matters to you.

Yep, that's them. I need a few more. They're really light and breezy for our 100 degree days.

Adidas Creator Long Sleeve. 

*shameless plug for my employer*

 

Also Badger makes an awesome Ultimate Softlock for $22.

I've got a couple of the HUK shirts, a couple of the Magellan shirts, a Patagonia shirt and a Simms shirt.   They all work. I find that I wear the hoodies more than the non-hoodies.

Might want to check Hanes website out, they have long sleeve spf50 shirt up to 3XL for $10. I have 4, for the money, they are hard to beat.

I really like the Huk shirts I have purchased.  I always buy on sale:  Sierra Trading for example.

Good point. I find Columbia and UnderArmor often at Marshal’s and Ross for under $20. 

[NHBull]

Columbia may be the best bang for the buck and is always on sale somewhere.

Orvis is expensive, but the most comfortable for me

[RichF]

Under Armour's Coolswitch or Isochill shirts are really nice.  They really do get a cool feeling when wet.  Those have been the best for me. I have a couple Huk shirts but the mesh back pills so badly.  Wore them once and they look like trash.

[A-Jay]

I wore Columbia & Under Armour for a long time but it's HUK now.

All Day Every Day ~ Big fan.

Works especially well south of the border - and believe me - there's plenty of moisture to wick during those trips.

I’ll recommend one step further to buy Columbia PFG hooded version. You pay a little more but extra cover around your next. 

[Deleted account]

Another vote for Columbia PFG. 

[ChrisD46]

I appreciate the replies - I have an Academy nearby so I will try the Meggellan version to begin (anything is better than my cotton shirts ) then I will explore the other suggestions listed here . *There appears to be a lot more dry / moisture wicking fishing shirt options today - why suffer right ?

[CrankFate]

I wear an UnderArmour with a T-Shirt over it. UA is still the best IMO. But I went crazy ordering the SA Company arm sleeves this season. I am keeping my fingers crossed on them making whole shirts some time soon.

[txchaser]

I have and have worn the Huk, Simms, Orvis. The Huk is definitely cooler than the others.

 

I bought a two-pack of the hanes cool and dry mentioned above on amazon for 18.00. Lots of colors and great reviews. And I just bought an iso-chill (because Texas). Haven't tried either yet. 

[TBAG]

I have mostly Columbia but also have an Under Armour fish with a cool graphic that works great too.

[Rpratt]

I like my HUK shirts. Use the vented for summer, they work great but I don't think any shirt will keep ya really cool with the humidity we have. 

 

On a Slight side note, I like the Magellen fishing shorts. Good price and dry really fast for a decent price.

[Catt]

Magellan, except I prefer button up!  ?
