    UV sun protection fishing shirt recommendations?

    I need some new ones. Anybody that uses them what's your current favorite brand and why?

    I mainly use the Columbia Hoodie, does a great job, absolutely hate using S.C.

    HUK is also a good one, they do run a little bigger in size but are lose and conformable.

    I mainly use Columbia. They are well made, good fit and seem to last.

    I just got nearly the cheapest hooded sun shirts I could find off Amazon in a lite blue. They even have thumb holes in the sleeve to act as a crude sun glove. Will let y'all know how they work out after I start wearing them. Wore some Reeltree Fishing hooded shirts in lite gray the past few years and they were fine. Got pretty worn after a few years and too big on me (dropping 40 pounds will do that).
    2023 Xpress H18 with 115 SHO that's optioned to fit my wants and pulled by a little Ram.

    Simms or AFTCO. Huk is like the BPS hat, cool kids wear it and couldn't tell you the difference between a SM or a LM bass.

    I have a couple of those off Amazon also, those work good also, the thumb hole is handy.

    Good to know. I also wear the hooded shirts when mowing and weedeating too. Keeps as much crap as possible off me and my allergies thank me. To be honest, I don't know how I survived without hooded sun shirts.

    AFTCO is about all I use now. I really like their stuff.

    I like Columbia or simms. Huk and quality don’t belong in the same sentence anymore

    I could see how those thumb holes could be handy. Definitely want hooded too.

    I've got 2 HUKs in past year and I like them. Previously used others with collars and while they breath a bit better, I like the tee shirt feel of the HUK. They are low cost at $30 and if they last 3 years, I'm happy.

    I personally don’t care for the HUK shirts. The ones from Amazon are very comfortable. I have some other oddball ones as well that are very comfortable. My wife bought me a few from North Face. I know they are on the ban list and I would never buy them. She got them 50% off a few years ago. Easily the most comfortable UPF shirts I own
