Avid Avidry Performance Crew
Pickup currently unavailable at BSS
Built for All-Day Sun Exposure on the Water
The Avid AVIDry Performance Crew is Avid Gear's signature long-sleeve sun shirt, engineered from the ground up for anglers, paddlers, and anyone who spends serious time outdoors. The ultralight microfiber polyester construction keeps weight off your back while the AVIDry fabric system pulls moisture away from your skin and dries fast, so you stay comfortable from the first cast to the last.
A crew neck silhouette delivers clean coverage without bulk, and the streamlined fit moves with you rather than against you. The Avid hook logo sits on the left chest, and a subtle cyan accent at the interior collar is the only flash on an otherwise purpose-built shirt.
50+ UPF Sun Protection You Can Rely On
The AVIDry Performance Crew earns a 50+ UPF rating, blocking both UVA and UVB radiation across the full surface of the shirt. That coverage is built into the fabric itself, not washed in, which means it holds up session after session. For anyone spending hours on open water in South Florida sun, a certified 50+ UPF long-sleeve is the most practical sun defense you can wear.
AVIDry Performance Fabric
AVIDry is Avid Gear's proprietary performance fabric platform. The microfiber polyester weave is engineered to be ultralight and exceptionally soft to the touch while delivering:
- Quick-dry technology that evacuates moisture fast whether you are sweating or catching spray
- Premium breathability to keep core temperature manageable during high-output activity
- Stain release engineering that lets the shirt shed bait, sunscreen, and saltwater residue without holding onto odor or discoloration
On the Water, Off the Water
The Performance Crew's minimal profile and neutral colorways make it an easy reach on or off the water. Wear it kayaking, stand-up paddling, on a charter, or hiking a coastal trail. The stain release construction and quick-dry behavior mean it transitions naturally from a full day of fishing to travel or errands without looking like it just came off a boat.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is AVIDry fabric?
- AVIDry is Avid Gear's performance fabric system built on ultralight microfiber polyester. It combines quick-dry technology, moisture wicking, and premium breathability to keep you comfortable during high-output outdoor activity.
- Does the AVIDry Performance Crew offer UPF 50+ protection?
- Yes. The shirt carries a 50+ UPF rating and blocks both UVA and UVB radiation across its full surface. The protection is woven into the fabric, not a topical treatment.
- Is this shirt good for fishing?
- It is designed specifically for on-water performance. The quick-dry fabric handles spray and sweat, stain release engineering sheds bait and sunscreen residue, and the 50+ UPF rating protects skin during long hours in the sun.
- How does the stain release engineering work?
- The AVIDry fabric is engineered at the fiber level to resist staining and release common outdoor contaminants like sunscreen, fish oils, and saltwater during washing, helping the shirt maintain its appearance over repeated use.
- Can I wear the Performance Crew for activities other than fishing?
- Yes. The clean crew-neck silhouette and performance construction work equally well for kayaking, paddleboarding, hiking, or everyday outdoor wear. The neutral profile means it transitions off the water without looking like dedicated fishing gear.
- How should I care for the AVIDry Performance Crew?
- The vendor recommends following the care label on the garment. As with all performance polyester fabrics, machine washing in cold water and line drying or tumbling dry on low will preserve the fabric's quick-dry and stain-release properties longest.
- Where can I buy the Avid AVIDry Performance Crew?
- It is available in store and online at Island Water Sports, serving South Florida and shipping nationally.
