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.

 

[Auggie]

I have a gray blackfish I really like. It's kinda like swim trunks with mesh underneath the shirt.

I only wear upf shirts because I nearly died from melanoma. My favorite is Columbia, I think they have the best combination of quality & price. If you’re after the sun protection specifically, look at the UPF rating. It’ll say UPF with a number. The bigger the number the more sun protection. UPF 50+ is the highest rating

Mostly Huk, Avid, and Denali for me. Got a couple Rattlin Jacks also

MAKE SURE IT HAS A HOOD

Is it supposed to warm up this summer or something? Messed up weather so far. And the goddam wind can go to hell too.

I have a Huk, a Columbia and 2 I bought from bars/breweries down south….all comfortable all good at keeping me from getting sunburned and somehow keep you cool when it’s hot and warm when it’s cool.

Personal preference, I prefer button up vs. pullover and I’m also not a “hoody-guy”. I rarely wear short sleeves for any extended amount of time outdoors. Occasionally working on boat stuff or yard stuff but even then, more often than not I’m in something long-sleeved.

I want the material to be all synthetic and at least 5%+ spandex for “all-way” stretch. I wear the same shirts for any early season bird hunting.

I prefer lighter colors. Spray ‘n Wash 1-2 day soak for the inevitable fish “emissions” from either end, fish slime/filleting mixture, and “worm-stuff”. Sooner or later the stains stay, and I really don’t care, I continue to wear my favorites.

White, pale blue/green/peach/tan/gray or light colored patterns.

The Duluth Trading “Action” shirt is a good one. Plenty of stretch, 2-3 new colors each spring. If you watch for sales usually can get them <$40.

The Scheels fishing shirts are great in the lighter colors, I’ve never tried the dark colors for fishing, I do hunt w/them at times. I don’t like the Scheels insect-repellant shirts, too “stiff” for me in hot weather.

Columbia and World Wide Spotrsman (Cabelas/Bass Pro), HUK, all make good choices for my preferences.

I also rarely wear shorts, I wear pants similar to the shirts I like. Light weight, light colored, and at least 5% Spandex in the all synthetic material mix.

Check out the sun hoodies at Bassdash.com. I got a few of them and love them.

Thanks for all the insight. Now if it would just warm up so I can try them out.
