Divey Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I went fishing last Tuesday out on the Hawksbury and copped a fair old flogging by the sun. I would like to buy a plain lightweight long sleeved vented shirt. What are brands to buy and what to stand clear of ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoodge6 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I bought a grey g loom is shirt and it does the job although a collar would have been nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockfisherman Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I have a couple of the shimano lightweight fishing button up shirts and they're fantastic. Harry If it's to good to be true, it usually is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolongeramember Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yeah you get smashed without a proper long sleeved shirt. I wear Shimano and Gloomis. They have vents and Velcro sleeves. All good but I wish they had velcro to fasten the main part instead of buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divey Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Thanks for your replies fellas/gals. Job's done, bought a Shimano for myself and also my son this afternoon. Beautiful lightweight jobs with a supertight weave. They look like real sun bashers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divey Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 The BCF vented shirts are good I bought the Shimao shirt at BCF, however, I did not see the BCF shirts.........myopic old bastard just went straight for the Shimano. How much are the BCF shirts ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fab1 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I have some of the shirts mentioned sitting in the cupboard that i dont use that were given to me as a gift that were only used a couple of times. I always use My old hi-vis orange or yellow work shirts. I stand out like a beacon in the boat. Quick drying, non iron,uv protection,no buttons, safety and $0 all rolled into one. I go fishing, im not intrested in the least looking like a moving billboard and paying through the nose for the privilege. Each to their own I guess. I would check out the department stores and you'll have change left over for tackle before the fishing/camping stores. Cheers.

Witha Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 Love either my hivis from work (same idea as fab1) or king g nice cotton work shirt, they do a really tight cotton thats also light and tough as nails, probs cheaper option. But I'll be getting a fishing shirt for the sake of proper comparison Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
