How to Choose the Right UV Fishing Shirt for You

Choosing the right UV fishing shirt involves considering a few key factors. It's not just about the price, even though our sale offers great deals.

  • Size and fit: Ensure the shirt fits well. It should be loose enough for comfort, but not too baggy. A good fit enhances UV protection and allows for better movement while fishing. Get the right size by checking out our size chart page.
  • Style preferences: Choose a style that suits your taste. We offer a range of designs, from your favorite target species to a rugged Rattlin Jack style. Your fishing shirt should make you feel good.

Remember, the right UV fishing shirt can make a huge difference in your comfort and protection while fishing.

Caring for Your UV Fishing Shirt

Proper care can extend the life of your UV fishing shirt. Most shirts are machine washable and quick to dry.

Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents. These can degrade the UV protective coating over time. Always follow the care instructions on the label for best results. See more care instructions on this page.

Why UV Protection Matters When Fishing

When you're out on the water, the sun's rays are more intense. This is due to the reflection off the water's surface. Without proper protection, you're at risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage.

UV fishing shirts offer a solution. They're designed with materials that block or absorb harmful UV rays. This helps to protect your skin, even during long fishing trips.

So, investing in a UV fishing shirt is not just about comfort or savings. It is about skin cancer prevention too.

The Advantages of Microfiber in UV Fishing Shirts

Microfiber, or performance polyester, is a top choice for UV fishing shirts. It's lightweight and breathable, making it perfect for long fishing trips. The fabric wicks away moisture, keeping you dry and comfortable.

Performance microfibre also offers excellent UV protection. Its tight interlock knit blocks harmful UV rays from reaching your skin. Plus, it's quick-drying, which is a bonus when you're out on the water.

Lastly, microfiber is durable. It can withstand frequent washing without losing its UV protective qualities. The breathable dye sublimated image is not rubber ink on top of the fabric. Dye sublimation dyes the fabric, which remains breathable no matter how large the image.
