fin Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 I’m looking for something for high humidity days in the sun. Something real loose-fitting. The oversize sleeves on the gray shirt is the kind of thing I want, but full length. I don’t care about pockets, w or w/o, doesn’t matter. Quote
papajoe222 Posted April 28, 2022 Posted April 28, 2022 If you’re set on that style, I can’t help. I will say a loose fitting angler shirt will be more beneficial, both in keeping you cool and sun protection. 1 Quote

I'm not dead-set on that style, it just looks like the air would flow through something like that a lot better and keep the hot fabric away from your skin better than the angler shirts I normally see. I just thought I would ask if anyone wears anything different from the normal gear. Quote

Super User FishTank Posted April 29, 2022 Super User Posted April 29, 2022 Once natural fabrics like the shirts above get wet with sweat, they will stick to your skin and you will stay hot.... This, of course, depends on your body type, age and how well you sweat. I would go with a regular fishing shirt or my personal favorite, a Patagonia Capilene hoody. Quote

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted April 29, 2022 BassResource.com Administrator Posted April 29, 2022 I see what you're saying. Something loose-fitting, but made of lightweight material. Not sure something like that exists. 2 Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted April 29, 2022 Super User Posted April 29, 2022 I think something that loose-fitting would be a hindrance in the long run. When idle it’s probably great. But when casting, fighting a fish, etc., my guess it’s more a pain than a godsend. 1 hour ago, A-Jay said: Pretty sure this one comes with a hat ~ A-Jay Sister Bertrille is NOT happy!

HaydenS Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 Huk shirts are great, never get really sweaty in them, and I’ve fished some hot days. Not sure where to find what you’re look for though. Amazon? 2 Quote
GTN-NY Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 I have these in short and long sleeved. They are lightweight and loose fitting https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AB0IQV4?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title&th=1 Quote
BayouSlide Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 Got some as a promo giveaway from reel purchases. Get a size on the larger size for you so it fits loose. They work in Louisiana's humidity and are my absolute favorite fishing shirt: https://daiwa.us/collections/apparel/products/tatula-performance-long-sleeve-shirt 1 Quote

And I've had one long sleeve shirt like that that was really comfortable too that was like XXLL, and they were all 100% cotton. The material was light, but stiff, so it wasn't clingy and itchy like polyester is to me. Quote

They're made a little big so are loose and comfortable, with plenty of pockets. 2 Quote
swhit140 Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 I just buy my long sleeves on ebay, they are only $10-11 a piece. They are very lightweight and keep you as cool as you can be in the hot summer. They are thinner/lighter than some of the other brands and they've held up well over a few seasons. Quote
TcRoc Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 Calling Don Johnson. He will know..

Super User Darth-Baiter Posted April 30, 2022 Super User Posted April 30, 2022 I don’t love the synthetic pull over all that much. They do work as promise tho. I wear a loose fitting Simms Big Sky button up and it’s the best shirt for me. Air flow is awesome and I don’t get that funky BO like from the pull overs. 1 Quote

Man, I’m not even that overweight but as soon as my sun hoodie goes on it looks like I’m carrying twins. Maybe next time I’ll see if I can find one with vertical stripes. 1 Quote
Luke Barnes Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 You could always buy shirts two sizes too big. Something I have found that works like you are describing is a thin white dress shirt. Unbutton the cuffs and first few buttons and let it flow. 1 Quote
volzfan59 Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 I've purchased some of the Magellan outdoors shirts. Great shirt at a reasonable price. I've bought some Realtree Fishing shirts at Walmart. They are also good shirts, although a little stiff until you wash them a few times. Worldwide Sportsman shirts at Bass Pro are good. All of those shirts are every bit as good as my Columbia PFG shirts. 2 Quote
