The elevator pitch to the Sun Slayer Snap Front Shirt Jac is that it affords you UPF 50 protection without the need of greasy sun screen lotion. You simply slip on one of Vortex’s new snap front shirts, and you’re good to go. This’ll be valuable for fishermen this summer as you can simply snap it on in the morning, and as the day heats up, you can unbutton it or remove it entirely. Vortex goes on to elaborate about the new shirt/jacket hybrid in their press release statement below:

Barneveld, Wisconsin – Vortex® broadens its popular Sun Slayer® apparel line with the Snap Front Shirt Jac, designed for versatility on land and particularly on the water, ensuring superior sun protection in all weather conditions.
With UPF 50, this light-weight layer underscores the importance of UV protection in a design that’s both comfortable and breathable. The fast-on, fast-off snap front means it’s easily layered and ready for action on cool summer mornings or “partly cloudy” afternoons when skin-damaging rays are no less intense.

ANTIMICROBIAL fabric inhibits odor-causing bacteria, ensuring you stay fresh longer.
MOISTURE-WICKING material draws sweat away from your body, keeping you cool and dry.
BUILT-IN STRETCH allows for freedom of movement, enhancing your comfort
CHAMOIS CLOTH integrated into the hem offers a convenient way to clean glasses or wipe sweat.
IMPACT AND SCRATCH-RESISTANT rubber-coated snaps provide durability and protect against wear.

With clever features like a chamois cloth to clean your sunglasses, and antimicrobial fabric for those hot days where you might be sweating a lot, this shirt jac could be the one shirt you’ll need this summer on the water or poolside. Right now, there is just the one colorway option of Bering Sea, and it retails for an MSRP of $79.99.
