fishing shirts - tired of columbia

Drew Mixon · 01-07-2009, 11:18 PM

friend of a friend turned me onto these. i prefer long sleeves for some sun protection, and columibas are great. i have ahandful of cotton tee long sleeves, and i like them too,but this makes a great alternative. they come in cotton and a microfiber. not a 'dressed up' with pockets and whathaveyou. dig the mesh underarms and the built in 'buff'.

Drew,

They look great, I too need to switch to long sleeves. I can tell you the new technology golf shirts are a lot cooler, though they are very shiny...

I'm gonna order a couple. The real test is July and August bottom fishing or downwind slowtrolling. They can't be any hotter I wouldn't think.

Those are cute.

My bad, it says Gillz.

anyone remember Tarpon Wear?

Under Armour makes a really nice fishing shirt in both long and short sleeve. A little bit pricey, but are comfortable and they keep you dry. But I also guess they are like Columbia shirts.

tarpon wear was some cool stuff. pricey, and maybe a head of their time. always wanted one of the shirts, but 60 or 70 bucks was just too steep for my cheapo self.

i thought the same thing about the built-in buff. but i noticed they have a 'buffless' model for 10 bucks cheaper. the vents are the what interests me (along with the price).

i dunno. just thought it was an interesting option to columiba and the price certainly right, when compared to other high end tech shirts. i may order one (buffless), just to check them out.

cheers.
