Guide Shirt - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I have guided in this shirt more times than I can count and it keeps showing up ready every single time. The poly-nylon ripstop holds up to years of hard use, the mesh-lined pockets drain fast when things get wet, and the roll-up sleeves with back-of-hand cuff coverage mean I can adapt to whatever the conditions throw at me without changing a thing."

Some gear earns its reputation slowly and keeps it for a long time. The Simms Guide Shirt has been doing exactly that for over a decade, built from a 90 gsm poly-nylon ripstop blend that wicks moisture, dries fast, and delivers UPF 50+ sun protection through the kind of relentless daily use that reveals the character of a piece of gear more honestly than any single trip ever could. It is the shirt that guides reach for without thinking because it has never given them a reason to think twice.

The point collar and button-front closure keep things looking sharp from the first cast of the morning through whatever the afternoon brings, while the shirttail hem, self-fabric side gusset, and back yoke work together to keep movement unrestricted through long hours of casting, wading, and the constant motion a full day on the water demands. Pocket storage is built for real fishing, with a left chest drop-in pocket stacked over a hidden zippered compartment and a vertical zip on the right chest, both lined with mesh for fast drainage and drying when the splashing is inevitable. Roll-up sleeves lock in place with button closures and feature cuffs designed to protect the back of the hand when the sun angle gets low and the exposed skin becomes a liability. A rear vent and built-in sunglass chamois at the hem round out a shirt that has thought through every detail so the person wearing it does not have to.
