Lightweight spf shirts

I have a couple different kinds, they're all hot because they can't fix hot. I just get soaked in sweat and then they are nice and cool. If someone invents the magical cooling shirt, I'll get one.

I love my free fly shirts. The lightweight hoodies are nice. Tasc is another good bamboo brand.

Free Fly is very comfortable as casual wear but not practical for fishing IMO unless the temps are moderate. Think of it as halfway between cotton and a synthetic; it'll get soaked with sweat if it's hot enough and stains easily.

I buy whatever long sleeve button up cotton shirts are on sale at Wal-Mart a size up from my normal. Wear a big straw hat and a cooling towel soaked in hose pipe water around my neck.


Keeping the sun off of you is the main thing. You don't see people in the middle east walking around in shorts, flip flops and a muscle shirt. They wear all that clothes to keep the sun off of themselves.

I’ve had good luck with the BassPro brand on the hooded shirts and pants. World Wide Sportsman I believe?

Love the Poncho shirts. Have probably 15 of them in short and long sleeve. Wear them to work most days and on the water when fishing.

I use Outdoor Research Echos for backpacking. I first got them bc theyre incredibly light and easy to wash in a stream. Now I use them for anything outdoors.

As with everything awesome, for some reason companies feel the need to change them. I havent bought one in a few years so I cant speak for the newer models.

The bass pro brand ones “world wide sportsman” are on sale right now. I picked one up yesterday and wore it cutting the grass and liked it a lot
