Fishing shirts for kids ?

Hi All,

I'm taking my young bloke up north in a few weeks for a camping/fishing trip.

Whilst not the greatest fashion statement - the columbia style long sleeve, vented, collared shirts I believe are a must have when fishing long hours in the sun. I wear them religiously

Been looking for some small ones for my son - with very little success !! - have checked most of the chain stores; but no luck

anyone seen them anywhere, or suggest somewhere to look ? need sizes 5-6

cheers

I wanted to get some with FW logos as well, but struggled to find any stockists and all became too hard. :(

thanks Leemo,

 

they look great - but crikey - they're not cheap !! - little buggers grow too quick and outgrow them in no time !!

Found a columbia one in Anaconda yesterday..... $90 !!!

I'm sure someone's pumping these out of China for $2 each....

small price to pay for good

small price to pay for good sun protection IMO but yes they are pricey, i wear columbia shirts fishing to protect me from the sun and when my boys are old enough to fish with me so will they (depending if i can find their size)

Dont want to let too much out

Dont want to let too much out of the bag but keep on the lookout for a new fishing dedicated clothing label out soon hopefully.  UV 50+ microfibre shirts, light, comfortable, quick drying, breathe well- Local company and wont cost the earth.  Hopefully buffs, hats and tees as well.  Will take a look into childrens shirts as well too since I have a little one now!
