FlyLow Men's Bandit Shirt

Flylow Men's Bandit Shirt

A lightweight, hooded sun shirt built for serious time under the sun without overheating. The Bandit is Flylow's answer to the days when you need full coverage and UPF protection but don't want to feel like you're wearing a layer at all.

Why We Carry It
It's the sun shirt we recommend for long days on exposed ridges or the river when someone wants Flylow quality in a piece they can wear from June through September without thinking twice about it.

Highlights

• 30+ UPF sun protection — Meaningful coverage for long days at elevation where UV exposure adds up quickly. Built into the fabric rather than applied as a treatment that washes out over time.
• Quick-dry polyester with stretch — Lightweight, breezy, and fast-drying on active days in summer heat. The stretch keeps it comfortable and mobile through a full range of movement without clinging or restricting.
• Ionic+ silver-based antimicrobial treatment — Keeps body odor at bay through multi-day wear and reduces laundry loads on long trips. A practical advantage for backpackers, anglers, and travelers who wear the same shirt for multiple days running.
• Hooded design — Full head and neck coverage for exposed ridgelines, open water, and high-alpine terrain where a collarless sun shirt leaves you vulnerable. The hood adds meaningful protection without the bulk of a separate piece.
• Raglan sleeves for mobility — A sleeve construction that eliminates the shoulder seam where pack straps sit. Reduces pressure points and allows full range of motion without the shirt pulling across the back.
• Casual fit at 28.5-inch center back length — A relaxed, comfortable silhouette that wears well on the trail and looks fine in town. Long enough to stay tucked under a hip pack or hang naturally untucked without riding up.
• 227 gram average weight — Light enough to justify on any warm weather objective where sun protection is a priority without adding meaningful weight to your kit.

Best for

Hikers, anglers, climbers, and active outdoor enthusiasts who spend long days under the sun and want a lightweight, breathable hooded sun shirt with genuine antimicrobial performance for multi-day wear. A strong warm weather staple for anyone who lives in a sun shirt from late spring through early fall.

Fit Note

Reviews suggest this shirt runs slightly small. Consider sizing up if you prefer a relaxed fit or are between sizes.
