Long sleeve hot weather shirts

[Davy Crockett]

Wondering what to look for in long sleeves sun shirts. Brands/colors/material ?

There are a ton of options out there. None of which are cotton based. Huk, SA, Palmyth, and a myriad of other Chinglish-named brands.

The Huk, SA (which I can no longer find) and Palmyth are my favorites.

You can even get them with hoods, which I don't particularly like. But then again, I am just not a hoodie kind of guy.

As far as materials, they all tend to be light-weight polyester.

When I was young, I just hated wearing long-sleeved shirts. Mostly because back then the only real options were heavy weight cotton or non-stretch western style long sleeve shirts. Today's UPF shirts are quite comfortable.

Note, for whatever reason I no longer buy the off the shelf inexpensive ones from Walmart or Sam's club. Not sure who they use for their sizing charts, but I just have never had good luck with fit from those places.

Since you are likely buying this to be outside, I'd say stay away from the dark colors, but I do like patterns on them to help hide stains from bleeding fish, etc.

Think those SA brand came from gander mountain and I bought at least 15-20 or the long sleeve ones when they went out of business.. Still have a bunch with tags

What Allen posted is about what I would recommend, actually at the price for 5 or 7 packs I will probably be ordering some. I have something similar I got off the clearance rack at Scheels a year or two ago and wear it all the time. It is dark forest green and I thought that it would be hot in the sun but to my surprise it doesn't seem bad at all.

I like Palegic gear for in the boat. I prefer the Poncho brand shirts for everyday wear.

Check out Carhartt too. I was surprised when I ran across those. I like as much as my huk shirts.
