A Long Sleeve Sun Shirt Built for Days on the Water
The Avid Avidry Mezcal and Mermaids Lycra is a signature series AVIDry long sleeve shirt, the standard Avid Gear builds all its other performance shirts against. It's designed for anyone who needs real sun coverage on long days out on a boat or around the water.
Fabric and Protection
The shirt is made from ultralight microfiber polyester that dries quickly, wicks moisture, and feels soft to the touch. Premium breathability keeps you cool and comfortable all day, while 50 plus UPF, UVA, and UVB sun protection keeps skin safe from extended sun exposure. Stain release engineering means the fabric can stand up to whatever gets thrown at it, and a three-panel hood adds extra coverage when you want it.
Who It's For
This shirt is built for anyone spending long stretches in direct sun, on a boat, at the dock, or fishing, who wants serious UV coverage without giving up breathability or comfort. It's suited to South Florida's on the water lifestyle, where a long sleeve, quick dry layer does more work than a short sleeve tee.
How to Wear and Care for It
Wear it as a base layer over sunscreen for extended sun protection, and use the hood when you want added coverage on the back of the neck and head. Because it's 100 percent polyester with quick dry technology, it's easy to rinse and wear again the same day, and the stain release engineering helps it hold up to repeated use on the water.
About Avid Gear
Avid Gear built its AVIDry line around real performance for people who spend serious time on the water, combining sun protection, moisture wicking, and stain resistance into one long sleeve shirt rather than treating each as an afterthought.
