Welcome to the Gerry’s Fishing Coarse T-Shirt department. In the modern era of match and pleasure fishing, your t-shirt is the foundation of your comfort. Whether you are using it as a moisture-wicking base layer under a winter hoodie or as your primary protection against the summer sun, a quality fishing tee is an essential bit of kit. In 2026, the trend has shifted toward Technical Performance Blends that offer rapid drying and built-in UV protection.
At Gerry’s, we stock the latest 2026 releases from the biggest names in the sport, including Guru, Preston Innovations, Matrix, Daiwa, and Drennan. From classic cotton “logo tees” to the elite Aventus Sun Core range, we have the style and fit to keep you looking sharp and feeling cool.
While a 100% cotton t-shirt is comfortable for casual wear, 2026’s technical anglers are moving toward advanced performance materials:
Cotton/Polyester Performance Blends: Used in the Guru Magnify and Glitch ranges, these blends combine the softness of cotton with the durability and quick-dry properties of polyester.
100% Technical Polyester: These “Dry-Tees” (like the Matrix UV Protective range) are engineered to wick sweat away from your skin and spread it across the fabric surface for instant evaporation.
UPF 50+ Sun Protection: Essential for long summer matches. Technical tees from Guru Aventus are now rated to block 98% of harmful UV rays, preventing sun damage during exposed sessions.
Designed for the active angler. These often feature Raglan Sleeves, which remove the seam from the top of the shoulder to allow for totally unrestricted casting and pole shipping movements.
Top Picks: Preston Innovations Core Collection, Matrix UV Long Sleeve.
Perfect for the angler who wants to represent their favorite brand. These feature bold logos and modern “glitch” or “technical illustration” designs (like the Guru QM1 & Kaizen Limited Editions).
Top Picks: Guru Magnify Black Tee, Daiwa Tournament Tee.
When you need a more professional look for a presentation or a high-profile festival. Our 2026 polos feature silicone branding and reinforced collars that won’t “curl” after multiple washes.
Top Picks: Guru Aventus Polo, Matrix Black Edition Polo.
| Model | Material | Weight | Key Feature | Best For |
| Preston Lightweight Black | 100% Cotton | 160gsm | Ultra-light & breathable | Summer Layering |
| Guru Magnify Grey | Cotton/Poly Blend | 180gsm | Moisture-wicking / Heat-reflecting | All-Day Comfort |
| Matrix UV Protective | 100% Polyester | 140gsm | UPF 50+ Rated | Extreme Sun / Active Sessions |
| Guru Aventus Sun Core | Tech-Silk Blend | 150gsm | Sun-shielding / Cool-touch | Match Competition |
| Daiwa Tournament | 100% Cotton | 200gsm | Heavy-duty / Anti-pill | Casual & Bankside Wear |
If you find yourself sweating during active feeder sessions or long walks to the peg, avoid 100% cotton. Cotton absorbs moisture and stays damp, which can make you cold when the temperature drops. Opt for a Synthetic Technical Tee that keeps your skin dry.
Light Grey/White: Ideal for summer. Light colours reflect the sun’s energy, keeping your body temperature significantly lower.
Olive/Dark Green: Perfect for stalking carp in the margins or river fishing where you need to remain “invisible” to the fish.
Match fishing requires constant arm movement. Look for t-shirts with Side Vents or Stretch-Fit fabrics. If you are between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up in Preston and Matrix clothing to ensure total freedom of movement when netting fish.
A: Standard sleeves have a vertical seam on the shoulder that can dig in when you are constantly casting. A Raglan sleeve extends in one piece fully to the collar, providing a much smoother range of motion for your arms.
A: In 2026, brands like Guru and Preston use high-quality screen printing and silicone transfers that are designed to withstand 30°C–40°C washes. To extend the life of the print, always wash your t-shirts inside out.
A: This is a tight-fitting technical tee worn directly against the skin. Its job is to pull sweat away from the body so that your middle and outer layers (hoodies and jackets) can work effectively to keep you warm.
A: Yes, almost all the 2026 clothing from Daiwa and Matrix is pre-shrunk during the manufacturing process to ensure that your Large doesn’t turn into a Small after the first wash.
We are the North West’s premier destination for match and coarse apparel. We don’t just sell the gear; we wear it ourselves every weekend.
Exclusive Ranges: We carry limited-edition releases that you won’t find in smaller shops.
Size Availability: From Small to 4XL, we cater to every angler.
