While many technical shirts feel overly synthetic or snag easily, the Challenger offers a robust feel that withstands abrasion from boat gunnels and rod butts while maintaining a structured fit. The inclusion of snap-down collars ensures the fabric stays in place during high-speed boat rides, preventing the collar from whipping against your neck in the wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFabric \/ Material Composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe garment is constructed from 100% polyester plain weave, chosen for its lightweight durability and inherent moisture-wicking capabilities. The fabric features a weight of approximately 115 gsm, keeping it breathable enough for tropical environments while providing substantial UPF 50 sun protection. A specialized soil-release finish is bonded to the material to resist absorption of oils and fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Simms","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50066936135913,"sku":"Simms-Mens-Challenger-LS-Shirt","price":62.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0749\/1846\/1673\/files\/simms-clothing-simms-men-s-challenger-ls-shirt-1218004051.jpg?v=1769206177","url":"https:\/\/www.tridentflyfishing.com\/products\/simms-mens-challenger-ls-shirt","provider":"Trident Fly Fishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
