Vented and mesh fishing shirts

Vented fishing shirts use openings, mesh or a caped-back design to create a different airflow path. The visible feature is worth comparing, but it does not supply a measured temperature reduction.

Before you choose

A back vent covered by a pack or flotation vest may work differently from an unobstructed one. Inspect the lining, the way the panel lies and the fabric's own rating. Mesh construction does not automatically mean poor or excellent UV protection.
