Why we use Polyester in Fishing Shirts?

Polyester is the most widely used fabric type in fishing shirts, offering many advantages over other fabric types. Polyester fabric can handle all the pain points an angler faces throughout their fishing journey.

Here are some unique features and characteristics of polyester that make it a top choice for fishing shirts.

Moisture Wicking

Polyester doesn't let your body stay covered in sweat; it drains all the sweat from your body to the upper layer of the shirt, where it easily evaporates.

Sweat can be a hassle while fishing under the sun, but a polyester-made fishing shirt will take care of it.

UV Protection

Sun rays are extremely harmful to your body, and exposure to them increases your risk of skin cancer. Polyester shirts can shield you against damaging rays and act like sunscreen, which you don't need to reapply.

Polyester-made fishing shirts offer UPF30 and UPF50 protection, which is highly recommended for sports activities under the sun.

Odour and Stain-Resistant

Polyester technical shirts are highly effective against odor and stains. If you are fishing and your shirt gets stained, it can instantly be washed with natural detergents like vinegar, lemon, and baking soda.

Similarly, one wash of a fishing shirt will be enough to remove stains from a polyester sports shirt.

Easy to Wash

Polyester fishing shirts are straightforward to wash. You don't need heavy-duty or bleach detergents to wash fishing shirts; you can use regular detergent in mild water. You can also try hand washing in a basin with mild water.

After washing your fishing shirt, air-dry it in the shade and avoid direct exposure to the sun.

Fast Drying

A polyester shirt dries off quickly. While fishing, your clothing is exposed to water and often gets wet, which can cause discomfort and affect your fishing performance. However, polyester shirts can evaporate in a very short time, helping you stay dry and focused.

Polyester naturally increases the surface area of liquid on the shirt, making evaporation easier. Similarly, after washing, hanging the shirt in the shade will be enough to dry it off completely.

Lightweight

Polyester wearables are lightweight as air and best for outdoor sports activities like fishing. They help with mobility and keep you agile while fishing.

Breathability

Polyester increases the shirt's breathability and airflow, which helps in warm temperatures. Better airflow to the body enables you to stay fresh and active while fishing.

Easy to Blend

Polyester can be blended with other fabrics. While making Dagon Apparel shirts, we have blended polyester with nylon, combed cotton, and spandex. Blending with other fabrics allows shirts to be more customisable, and buyers will have various options when buying a fishing shirt.

Wrinkle Resistance

Polyester naturally resists wrinkles in clothing. Polyester shirts don't need ironing; they are ready to wear as soon as they dry. 

Moreover, the polyester used in the outfits maintains a neat look even after years of usage and occasional folding in backpacks and suitcases.

Durable

Polyester is a robust fabric that easily resists stretching, shrinking, wrinkling, creasing, abrasion, and tearing. It can also maintain its fitting and smooth appearance for a very long time. The durability of polyester makes it a top choice for creating a fishing shirt.

Polyester fishing shirts are packed with features every angler needs on their fishing journey. From moisture-wicking to UV protection, stain resistance to fast drying, polyester handles it all with ease.
