@@richpeace5575 Do you have a good sun protective fishing pant that you would recommend? I purchased the Free Fly pants but they are too heavy and warm for me. There are so many other options out there it's dizzying.
@@ram_bam I am mostly a shorts guy. I just prefer shorts and my legs don't burn easily. Having said that, I have used lycra pants (Cycling pants) under shorts and it is a FANTASTIC replacement for conventional pants. This guy has a great video that goes into detail on the lycra pants... Fast forward to 4:30 to get the section where he talks about pants... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rOPHjuv4cME.html
For Lycra sun sleeves and leg protection I can highly recommend another made in usa small company: Voler They are primarily a cycling apparel outfit but their quality is too notch. I keep these white arm and leg sleeves in my fishing bag always. www.voler.com/browse/cat3/?cat=sun-protection
I started buying Simms gear years ago and probably own 20 different styles of shirts, then add hoodie, jackets, rain suits, gloves, and way too many hats. The only problem I've ever had is the Bi-Comp shirts. They're great shirts, cool in the summer, and look great but they pick. If you get them against anything with a point, they'll pick, same if in the dryer with items with a zipper. I called Simms and talked to a CS rep and he said they have a problem with the Bi-Comps but have not figured out how to fix it. Even after that, I bought 3 or 4 more and just wear them on the boat or hanging around the house. I had hoped to wear them to work but after a few trips through the washing machine, they don't look good enough for work. Anyways I'm still a loyal Simms customer and love the Solarflex series of shirts, have several of them and wear them fishing. I just purchased an AFTCO shirt similar to the same Simms you did the review on and I'll admit, I like it. BTW, really enjoy your reviews!
Have been looking at these recently but haven't pulled the trigger yet, instead invested in huk/mossy oak and real tree fishing shirts and hats. Maybe next time I'll pull the trigger on 1 of these and try it out
How does something like this handle dust? I'm looking for some good, cool clothing for riding in my side by side that I can breath through, stay cool, and not have a nose full when I get done.
