DE-8226E Short-Sleeve Shade Shirt D-VEC

Discover the Daiwa DE-8226E shirt: performance, thermal protection, and eco-friendly UpDRIFT® yarn recycled from the ocean. Protect yourself from the sun in total comfort!

Overview

Extreme performance and respect for the environment.

The Daiwa DE-8226E is not just a piece of technical apparel; but represents a concrete step toward the future of sustainable fishing. This shirt was developed with a focus on protecting our oceans: the fabric incorporates UpDRIFT®, which is made by recycling plastic bottles collected along the coast of Ishigaki Island, in Japan. Choosing this model means wearing a product with a low environmental impact that transforms marine debris into technical performance.

Despite its eco-friendly design and construction made of 100% polyester, the Shade Shirt surprises with its exceptionally soft texture, similar to natural cotton, ensuring unparalleled comfort against the skin. Designed for the sunniest days, this shirt acts as a true thermal shield: the yarn is enriched with micro-particles of ceramic that reflect heat, keeping body temperature lower than with traditional fabrics.

Thanks to its quick-drying properties and sun protection that blocks more than 90% of UV rays, the DE-8226 is the ideal companion for those who enjoy active and dynamic fishing, ensuring coolness, protection, and total freedom of movement even in the hottest weather.
