Many shirts have special features for anglers, such as oversized pockets, vented backs and quick-dry, moisture-wicking fabrics. Long-sleeved collared shirts, such as Simms’ Ultralight, with UPF 30 sun protection, cover your neck as well as your arms. If you’re more of a T-shirt person, one increasingly popular option is a lightweight sun hoodie, which also covers your neck and ears.
