Men’s UPF 50 Performance Fishing Shirt Cooling Hoodie Camo Long Sleeve FS17M

Build Quality & "Materials" As a handyman, I look for materials that won't snag the first time I brush against a rough 2x4. The Fabric: This is a high-tech blend (typically 90% Polyester, 10% Spandex). It has a "silky" feel but don't let that fool you—it’s surprisingly resilient. It features a 4-way stretch that is essential for overhead work or long casting motions. The Stitching: They used flatlock seams here. In plain English: the seams are flat against your skin, so you don't get that "sandpaper" rubbing on your shoulders after eight hours of movement. Ventilation: There are mesh panels under the arms and along the sides. Think of this as the "HVAC system" for your torso. It allows heat to escape where you sweat the most. Performance & "Job Site" Utility UPF 50 Protection: This is the "Safety Glasses" for your skin. It blocks 98% of UV rays. For a Dad who usually forgets to reapply sunscreen, this is a massive win. You can skip the greasy lotions on your arms and neck and just let the fabric do the heavy lifting. The Hood & Neck: The hood is cut "scuba-style," meaning it stays snug. If you’re on a boat going 30mph or it’s a windy day on a roof, it won't blow back constantly. Some models even come with a built-in neck gaiter (mask), which is great for dusty jobs or extreme sun. Thumb Holes: A small but vital feature. They keep the sleeves locked down so you don’t end up with a "sunburn ring" around your wrists. Maintenance & Ease of Use The "Wash and Wear" Test: This isn't high-maintenance leather or cotton. You can throw this in a cold wash, and it’ll be dry on a hanger in about 20 minutes. It’s static-free and doesn't shrink, which is great because I don't have time to "baby" my laundry. Storage: Most versions include a hidden zippered chest pocket. It’s small—perfect for a fishing license, a couple of screws, or a truck key—but don't expect to fit a large smartphone in there without it sagging. The Verdict As a Dad, I love that I’m protected from the sun without having to think about it. As a Handyman, I appreciate the "breathable tech" that keeps me from overheating while I’m working. For the price of a couple of boxes of nails, you’re getting a shirt that outperforms high-end boutique outdoor gear.

These are the best shirts for fishing. They fit great and the material is very soft and comfortable. The size is great and fits true to size. I am a very large man with very broad shoulders and this fit perfectly. It is nice and warm and totally functional for fishing.

I really like this shirt! I wore it for the first time today in the river. It did very well, well made shirt held up its shape in the water, very cooling, lightweight, and quick drying. I did not put sunscreen on. Highly recommended! Runs true to size. I normally wear a 3X. I ordered a 3X. I'm a big guy and it fit perfectly!! 5'10 295.

As advertised - fit was spot on - I liked them so much I bout some for my fishing buddies

Good quality, Spandex a lil more than I thought but decent shirt and hoodie

True to size, good material

First, let me say that I am a big guy (6 Ft., 280 lbs) and I normally wear a 3X. I bought this one size up because of another review and it fits great. I have never owned one of these types of shirts and so have no other brand to compare it to. However, if it fits, does what it says it will do, and is cost-effective then it is a great value. This shirt matches all three of those criteria. I bought this shirt to take to a youth camp in Florida where we spend most of our days outside either doing sports, swimming, or other outdoor activity. The idea of not having to stop every 30 minutes and reapply sunblock only to seat it off almost instantly was appealing so I went for it. The shirt was delivered in a timely fashion and immediately I was struck with the quality of the material. The seams are sewn to lie flat and provide the utmost comfort. The fit was as expected and the color scheme was exactly as depicted on the site. getting straight to the point, however, I wore the shirt for the duration of the camp in the scorching Florida sun and it did not fail. I did not once get burned or have to feel the stinging pain of sunblock-laden sweat dripping into my eyes. The only thing that was even remotely disappointing was the pocket. The zipper worked well and the pocket is definitely roomy enough. However, if you put anything in it that has any weight at all the pocket hangs down below the bottom hem of the shirt. I put a couple of dollars and about $1.25 in change in there and it just hung a little bit below the hem, which did not hinder performance, but certainly was no longer hidden. It's not a big deal, but the manufacturer would have done better to tack the pocket to the shirt all the way around. At a price that is far more reasonable than many brands available, the is a performance shirt that works well at a bargain price. just buy it!

So light weight . He is very fair skinned being a redhead. I needed something to keep him from the sun and this works soooo good not even a lil pink . So I’d recommend these to anyone
