In theory, chasing Indonesian surf and bonefish for weeks on end is like going to heaven; in practice, it’s really damn hot. To forestall sunstroke and prolong stoke, we designed the Long-Sleeved Sol Patrol® Shirt. The 100% polyester ripstop fabric provides air-conditioning and 30-UPF sun protection, while cooling mesh (center back) and side-arm vents allow for maximum ventilation. The double-layer collar stands up for extra sun protection or stays put with hidden snaps at the collar points. On the chest there are two mesh-lined button-through pockets (our new casting logo is stitched above the lefthand one). There’s also an inset zippered pocket on the right. With button cuffs and fabric tabs to secure roll-up sleeves.
