NRS - Men's Drifter Shirt

Fishing in the sun on a lake or river is one of summer's great pleasures. Doing it with sunburned arms and a shirt that bunches every time you cast is not. The NRS Men's Drifter Shirt is built to fix that.

It starts with ultra-lightweight poly-spandex fabric that stretches in all four directions, so your casting motion is never restricted and the shirt moves with you rather than against you. The full-sleeve design keeps the sun off your arms all day at UPF 50+ and the articulated sleeves with angled cuffs are cut specifically to follow your arms in their natural position, whether you're casting, rowing, or just enjoying the slow drift between bites. On warmer stretches, the sleeves roll up and button in place so you can cool off without losing the shirt entirely.

The pocket setup is where the Drifter earns its name. Two mesh-lined chest pockets with hidden zippers keep flies, tippet, a licence, or whatever small essentials you need secure and dry through a full day on the water. The woven NRS label on the chest doubles as an attachment point for sunglasses or lightweight tools, and the grommet snap front and cuffs give the whole shirt a clean, functional look that works just as well at the post-fishing dinner as it did on the drift.

This is the shirt for the days that start before sunrise and don't wrap up until well after dark.

What makes it great:

• UPF 50+ sun protection — full arm and shoulder coverage all day long
• Lightweight four-way stretch poly-spandex — complete freedom of movement for casting, rowing, or paddling
• Articulated sleeves with angled cuffs — cut to follow your natural arm position; no bunching mid-cast
• Roll-up sleeves with button keepers — easy to adjust when the temperature climbs
• Two mesh-lined hidden-zippered chest pockets — secure, quick-draining storage for flies and small essentials
• Woven NRS label on chest — doubles as an attachment point for sunglasses or lightweight tools
• Grommet snap front and cuff closure — clean look that's easy to open and close on the water
• Quick-drying fabric — a splash or a swim is a minor inconvenience, not a ruined day

Best for: Fishing, kayak angling, drift boating, SUP fishing, canoeing, and any warm-weather day on the lakes and rivers
