depends whether you want to look posh.

Personally i am a scruffbag at heart and am quite happy wearing any old long sleeved shirt as long as its cool and has some pockets.

I scrounge most of mine from Feral as he gets them as part of his work uniform and he even pulls the logos off them. Otherwise they are only $2 at vinnies which is a lot cheaper than $35 or more for a columbia or something similar.

I prefer to spent my money on lures etc.

Another advantage of old gear is that it doesnt matter if it gets dirty or torn as you can just turn it into a rag for the boat.

Hey just wondering what you guys think about clothing for fishing...im mainly talking about the long sleeved breethable shirts and if theres an advantage or would i just be waisting my money buying them???

No it's not a waste of money - I used to wear my long sleeve business shirts as they were cooler then T-shirts and offer more protection but I still got sun burn through them.

I now have switched to the fishing shirts - and yeah Ray I do look cool ;) - but that's easy for me:P - but I also have 30+ protection with out the sunscreen.

THe shirts are realy great for temputure control as well.

It's proberbly too late for me as I surfed for 30 years, mostly with out sun protection, but I mos well try something.

Invest in a good one and you'll never turn back.

You want to talk about fishing clothing Then you should look at the UK Market.

In the summer its full of designer shimano stuff that sells tee shirts for £40 and bottoms for £80 and in the winter ! well you look like an eskimo .

On sunday it was -5 degrees on the banks of the river thames at 6am and it didnt warm up much thoughout the day so i had thermal vest and long johns on followed by long sleeve tee shirt and jogging bottoms , large jumper and waterporof fishing trousers and a large jacket over the lot.

A Warm wooly hat and gloves finished the designer look along with thermal boots !!!:P

You boys dont know what your missing !!!

As Webmaster stated,

There will be some BRC shirts and stuff available at the comp in a variety of sizes.

These are designed to durable and not just fashionable :)

Also nothing is 100% confirmed, but i think you will be more than happy with the pricing :)

Cool , that's great - Is there a chance of a pre sale photo of range? (similar to prize shots on main page).

BTW Angus but did you get any in ST and MT sizes for me? :whistle:

ST = small tent :silly:

MT = Med Tent :silly:

Oh yeah did you get any pink ones for Feral :P ( I know - sin bin and gaffs again).

Hey Feral maybe we should use Enviro Nets instead of gaffs - don't hurt as much.:blink:

I've got a long sleeved Columbia. Its man's best friend when you are baking in the sun. Its pricey, but you can't put a price on avoiding skin cancer. My old man is constantly getting sun spots burnt off him. I keep reminding him that skin damage is cumulative, you more UV the get, the worse off you'll be, but he insists on working in the yard all saturday in a singlet and ending up with lobster grade skin....

I'm thinking of getting a few more soon, but cheaper brands lol. (I think Shimano and Kokoda have reasonable shirts for about 1/3 the price, although the material is no where near as light as Columbia's). With three straight days of fishing coming up and probably 5 or 6 trips in a row, I'm gunna need more shirts lol!

Mate BCF has them on special for $50 - Shamino and Burkley Gulp - Gezz the Gulp shirts make you look like a real pro. That's why I bought one - I can't catch fish so I mos well fake it.
