Long-sleeve performance fishing shirt designed for hot, exposed conditions with UPF 50 sun protection, quick-drying moisture-wicking fabric, antimicrobial odor control, and stain-release treatment in a performance fit.
WHAT MATTERS
UPF 50 Sun Protection
Fabric carries a UPF 50 rating for high-level UV protection during extended sun exposure.
Quick-Dry Moisture Management
Performance fabric is engineered to wick moisture and dry quickly during hot-weather activity.
Antimicrobial Odor Control
Antimicrobial treatment helps reduce persistent odor buildup in repeated wear.
Stain-Release Finish
Stain-release treatment is designed to help fishing grime wash out more easily.
Performance Fit
AFTCO classifies the Samurai LS as a performance fit rather than a relaxed outer-layer cut.

THE SIMPLE AFTCO SUN SHIRT THAT KEEPS GETTING USED
The Samurai LS earns its place by doing the core hot-weather fishing jobs well without needing a hood, face gaiter, or complicated vent system. High sun protection, quick-dry moisture management, odor control, stain release, and a performance fit make it a useful workhorse for exposed days on the water. Anglers who need head and neck coverage should move to a hooded option rather than trying to add accessories around this shirt.
Best for hot fishing days when long-sleeve sun coverage is enough without a hood.
Quick-dry fabric manages sweat and spray during repeated warm-weather use.
Odor and stain treatments are practical for apparel that sees fish, sunscreen, and multiple long days.
Tradeoff: No integrated hood means exposed head and neck coverage requires another layer or accessory.
