This Earth Month, we’re raising the bar on what it means to gear up for a day on the water. Our performance fishing shirts don’t just shield you from the sun—they’re made to help protect the very place you love to fish: the ocean.

If you're anything like us, the ocean isn't just a backdrop—it's part of who you are. It’s where the best stories start, where time slows down, and where you feel most at home. So, when Earth Month rolls around, we see it as more than a calendar event. It’s a reminder to give back to the water that gives us so much.

That’s why we designed our long sleeve fishing shirts with more than performance in mind. Sure, they’ll keep you cool, dry, and protected from the sun’s harshest rays. But here’s the part we’re proud of: each one is made from approximately 5 recycled water bottles.

Let that sink in for a second—five bottles that could’ve ended up in the ocean, now keeping you comfortable on the water.

Sun Up To Sun Down, These Shirts Work As Hard As You Do

If you've ever spent a full day under the sun, you know the right shirt can make or break your time out there. Ours are built for anglers, boaters, beach bums—anyone who'd rather be on the water than anywhere else.

What you get:

  • UPF 50+ sun protection, because your skin deserves backup.
  • Lightweight, breathable fabric that moves with you, not against you.
  • Moisture-wicking tech to keep you cool and dry even in the heat of the action.
  • And yeah—they look pretty sharp, too.

We call them performance fishing shirts for a reason. They’re not just for show—they're for serious time on the water.

Five Bottles, One Bold Statement

Let’s be real: plastic pollution is one of the biggest threats to our oceans. So instead of adding to the problem, we decided to be part of the solution.

We use 100% recycled polyester, made from plastic bottles collected before they hit our waterways. It’s soft, durable, and built for action—and it gives plastic a second life with real purpose.

So every time you pull on your Guy Harvey shirt, you’re making a quiet but powerful statement: I fish for something bigger.

Built With Heart. Backed By Purpose

Supporting the ocean isn’t just what we do—it’s who we are. Proceeds from every purchase help fund the Guy Harvey Foundation, where science, education, and conservation come together to keep our oceans thriving for generations to come.

When you shop Guy Harvey, you're backing research, protecting marine habitats, and inspiring the next generation of ocean lovers. It’s more than a shirt. It’s a legacy.
