Cool fishing shirts

[vatech]

What are some cool fishing shirts and where to get them?

My buddy has a Power Pro long sleeve shirt that I think looks awesome but I can't find one online. I also love Guy Harvey and BP t-shirts.

Who makes the best tactical fishing shirts? Anyone to avoid?

Anyone have problems with the Loomis shirts being short?  The shirt I have I can't wear, looks like it was made for sponge bob.... >

Eddie Bauer has some great summer fishing shirts.  They breathe good, never fade, and come in tall sizes which keeps the shirt from coming up and exposing things in the rear.  I have a bright orange one that I wear exclusively, and its still as bright as the day i bought it, never shrunk, breathes great, and whicks away the sweat as soon as a breeze blows by.  Fantastic shirt!

Try the Columbia Bonehead shirt. Nothing better for warm weather fishing.

I stay away from fishing shirts made with synthetic fabrics, they don't breath and are very warm.  For me it has to be a cotton fishing shirt,

t shirts work well enough and are comfortable, I wear them a size big.

Today's synthetics breath, dry quickly, provide UV protection

and resist stains. Comparing them with cotton seems silly to

me.

I think the OP meant "cool" as in desired or neat design.

I personally don't wear anything except long sleeve UV protection shirts when fishing, no matter how hot it is. Skin cancer is not something to be messed with, long pants and long sleeves will keep you cooler than short sleeves and shorts as well. Believe it or not if its hotter than your body temp outside it works. North-face and Columbia sell some good ones.

 I have a REAL problem with the sun. I broke down and bought a long-sleeved, synthetic with UV protection. I was amazed . I don't perspire I SWEAT. I can actually wring sweat out of a T-shirt. The shirt didn't help with the sweating but it sure wicked (sp) it away and dried really fast. I'm sold on these type of shirts...

I love my long sleeve Gemini jersey that our team has.

As for when I'm just fishing, I'm a HUGE fan of Columbia PFG products. Especially the Skiff Guide II long sleeves. Like someone already mentioned, get the long sleeves. Skin cancer isn't worth it and I honestly can't tell any difference in a nice long sleeve fishing shirt than in a nice short sleeve one. A t-shirt of any kind is much warmer and gets soaked and sticks to you and I find that very uncomfortable.

Those hoodies are AWESOME

Cotton should be left for house duty .synthetic is way better to control sweat and heat or cold depending what your doing

[gabes]

Cotton is old school.  The synthetics breathe better, are lighter and cooler.  Try the Under Armour heat gear shirts and the new long sleeve/short sleeve fly fishing looking shirts with pockets.  Very compfortable and they are much cooler than cotton.

 I happened to look at mine just before I signed on. It is a World Wide Sportsman. The other great thing about it (for me) they come in TALL sizes. Gets old being taken for a plumber ...

For cool shirts check out the bassaholics shirts at tackle warehouse.  Probably cotton but look good.  

[zelmo]

I started wearing long sleeve fishing shirts in the hot weather this summer and couldn't believe how cool I felt.

Do you wear a cotton T under them, or does that defeat one of the purposes (wicking)?

[skillet]

 Commando all the way ...

If you think the Bonehead's are good you should try the Tamiami's they are even lighter.

I'm a big fan of the Under Armor products. The Heat and Cold gear is just awesome. I use it for fishing and hunting and have just been so impressed I continue to buy more.

If you have an academy sports close by then by some of their Magellan brand fishing shirts. They're nylon and come in long and short sleeve with 30SPF sunblock built in I believe. That's what I always wear and a lot of times they're on sale for like 15 bucks for short sleeved. I can't tell much difference in quality between it and the columbia brand that is twice as much.

I was hoping to see a bunch of cool bass t-shirt design, but everyone listed the vanilla shirts!  Bassaholics are cool, Bassfury has a good design or two, but I think the new Apex Predator designs are the best looking ones I've seen so far.

Has anyone seen any Affliction styled bass shirts?

Another cool one to check out is a guy based around Smith Mountain Lake.  His clothing line is called Limit-5.  He is a good guy and a fisherman as well.
