Black Sabbalo LS Performance Crew: UPF 50 fishing shirt

Our take on the Black Sabbalo

A rock and roll nod on a real technical shirt: we like that mix. The UPF 50 microfiber covers your arms through long days in the sun. The Rockfish collection graphic also gives your fishing outfit some character.

In the sun, from the bank or the boat

UPF 50 protection for long trips

On the water, the sun hits hard. The surface also reflects part of the light back at you. This long sleeve fishing shirt covers your arms down to the wrists. Its UPF 50 rating filters about 98% of UV rays. That means fewer sunburns over a full day outside. Less sunscreen on your arms also means fewer greasy hands on the rod. The crew neck covers the top of your chest too. For the neck and face, add a cap or a neck gaiter.

The polyester microfiber stays light on the skin. At 4.2 oz, the fabric stays thin for a long sleeve garment. It wicks sweat and dries fast after a shower or sea spray. The fabric breathes, which helps keep you dry when you cast all day. The antibacterial treatment is handy over several days of fishing. The relaxed cut leaves room at the shoulders, so you can cast and retrieve freely.

A rock graphic printed by sublimation

The Black Sabbalo belongs to the Rockfish collection by The Sea Party. Its graphics draw on classic rock. They pay tribute to the stars of sportfishing and to their fans. The name is a pun on a cult band of the genre. Each design in the series mixes that rock spirit with fishing.

The graphic is printed by sublimation. The ink goes into the polyester fibers instead of sitting on the surface. So the fabric stays soft, even on the printed areas. You can wear it under a fishing vest or on its own, from the bank or on the boat. The technical microfiber also packs down small in a bag.
