Simms Men's Guide Shirt

The Simms Men’s Guide Shirt is built for anglers who demand all-day performance, comfort, and protection on the water.

Constructed from a proven poly-nylon ripstop blend, this durable shirt is quick-drying, moisture-wicking, and UPF 50+ rated to shield against the sun’s harshest rays. Trusted by anglers for over a decade, it’s a dependable choice season after season.

Designed with both function and comfort in mind, the Guide Shirt features roll-up sleeves with adjustable button closures, a classic point collar, and a shirttail hem for a clean, casual look. Dual chest pockets provide secure storage—one with a vertical zipper and the other with a welt closure stacked over a hidden zip pocket. Both are mesh-lined for quick drainage and ventilation. A built-in sunglass chamois keeps lenses smudge-free, while the back yoke venting system promotes airflow in hot, humid conditions.

Finished with subtle gussets for mobility and cuffs designed for back-of-hand sun protection, the Simms Guide Shirt is the ultimate blend of style, function, and performance—perfect for long days chasing fish.

Q: What makes a fishing shirt different from a regular shirt?
A: Fishing shirts are designed specifically for comfort, sun protection, and performance on the water. They’re made from lightweight, quick-drying, and breathable materials that wick away moisture and often include UPF-rated sun protection — keeping anglers cool and protected all day long. Materials are also often stain resistant, great in the case that you get fish slime, mud, or anything else on them.

Q: Are fishing shirts good for hot weather?
A: Yes, fishing shirts are ideal for warm conditions. They feature moisture-wicking fabrics, mesh venting, and lightweight construction to help you stay cool and dry, whether you’re on the flats, in a drift boat, or hiking to your favourite trout stream.

Q: Do your fishing shirts offer sun protection?
A: Absolutely. Most of our fishing shirts feature UPF 30–50+ sun protection to guard against harmful UV rays. Long sleeves, high collars, and extended cuffs provide added coverage without sacrificing comfort or breathability.

Q: Which brands of fishing shirts do you carry?
A: Drift Outfitters carries top apparel brands including Simms, Patagonia, and Hooké. Each brand offers a mix of technical performance shirts and casual styles built for anglers who demand comfort and function both on and off the water.

Q: Are your fishing shirts available in both men’s and women’s styles?
A: Yes, we stock a range of fishing shirts tailored for both men and women, with ergonomic fits and designs that prioritize movement, comfort, and coverage in all conditions.

Q: How should I care for my fishing shirts?
A: Wash your fishing shirts according to manufacturer directions. Hang dry or tumble on low heat to preserve technical fabric performance and UPF protection over time.
