Is this shirt good for sun protection on the water?

Yes. It is rated UPF 50+, which blocks most UVA and UVB rays. Long exposure still needs sunscreen on exposed skin.

How does it compare with technical fishing shirts?

It matches them on sun protection and quick-drying polyester but lacks vented backs, roll-up collars and rod holders. It wins on print and style.

It is 100% polyester with a relaxed cut typical of fishing shirts. It runs true to size for most buyers.

The shirt is sold on its own. Local Boy makes matching hats and other gear in the same prints, sold separately.

It works as a casual hot-weather shirt. The bold graphic reads as beach or boat wear rather than office wear.
