Best Shirt for Traveling (Page 3): Because of the replies to that original post, I found the perfect vest to take on my next outing. Lots of pockets inside and out, incl "hand-warmer"...

Because of the replies to that original post, I found the perfect vest to take on my next outing. Lots of pockets inside and out, incl "hand-warmer" pockets, slim profile, and the soft, lightweight nylon and polyester fabrics sold me. The vest and a sling bag for the heavy stuff should be plenty. Thanks, UHH!

Orvis has corporate owned stores in most major cities, and many fly fishing shops and locations feature them. They are of course available at Orvis.com. I live North of Detroit, and Orvis has a corporate store on Woodward and 12 Mile Rd. Chicago has two stores plus Milwaukee and another in Madison.
Regarding insects, they also have a line called Buz Off that has been pretreated with repellent and is said to last for 25 washings.

The rod holder loop works fine while tying on a fly or changing tippets.

My daughter-in-law keeps me in a good supply of Dri-duck shirts, they have two pockets, 1-double pocket, many little pockets, ventilated back, nice and light. Button up sleeves, ( to make them short sleeves),rod holder tab. They run around $35, you might take a look at them. This is a great subject by the way, glad you started it.

How does that "rod holder loop" work?

When you're working on your line or your fly (not the fly on your pants!), you set the butt of the rod on the ground. Since the rod is about 9 feet long, it's a little awkward to hold it. So you can use the little rod loop (it opens up, velcro on one end) and do your work.

Or, it's handy if you're standing in a stream and need to do something while securing the rod.

You could probably figure out a way to use it as a photographer, too. Cameras are getting so small, you could use the loop to carry a backup!

What can you tell me about the four pockets? All the web site says it that it has them.

I like light weight shirts for travel. Prefer the "dri-fit" golf shirts that help to wick moisture, either in planes or driving. For storing passports, boarding passes and miscellaneous, I like to travel in pants with the large pockets on the legs, similar to EMT pants, which are great for the field as well. If you get the type with draw strings on ankles, once in the field, change to heavier shirt, vest or jacket, tie off pants to boots, and off you go. Sometimes you can catch a deal at a military surplus outlet, usually online though. I look for them in black or tan and avoid camo for travel.

I used to wear camo for travel, but my wife kept losing me in the airport.
