The ultralight built for high heat

Lightness and UPF 50+ protection in open environments

The Vaportek Built stands out as the lightest garment in the range, specifically developed for high-glare environments. Its UPF 50+ protection forms an effective barrier against ultraviolet rays during long days of hunting under the sun. The ventilation zones promote constant airflow around the torso and under the arms, and active moisture management wicks away sweat without weighing the fabric down. It is the ideal shirt for summer saltwater fishing, to complete with a sun protection cap or hat.

Freedom of movement and recycled fibres

The multidirectional stretch textile guarantees perfect ease for all your casts, from light spinning to sustained jigging. This technical fabric follows every body movement without ever hindering your gestures, which matters during phases of repeated casting. Pelagic uses fibres made from recycled plastic here, while retaining high resistance and softness properties. The surface treatment is guaranteed PFAS-free, and you will find this same standard across the brand’s fishing apparel.
