I'm not impressed with Huk. Great looking but I'm hot in mine. Was expecting more for the price.

HUK is overpriced & overhyped, IMO. I like the comparable Columbia PFG offerings.

Dicks was also selling a Field and Stream line of shirts a while back, they are pretty nice--I got a grey and a blue one for $20 each. They have a longer sleeve and a thumb hole in the cuff allowing you to cover the back of your hands. They are very cool and have about all the features you'll find in the higher priced brands. BUT my HUKs are very nice!! https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/fie...fsvrshdtchtaptb

I bought a couple of the HUK Kryptek long sleeve shirts on clearance for $19 bucks, I liked them okay! I decided I would try some cheaper brands to compare. Bought some Magellan Catch & Release short sleeve t-shirts with the Mag Chill technology for $9.74 at Academy and some Hanes Cool-Dri long sleeve t-shirts from Amazon for $10, both of these keep me as cool and dry as the HUK, maybe even more so, as for the SPF protection, I don't notice any difference between any of them, even tho they have a different rating. JMO!

I just looked at BPS.....Columbia shirts are $39.99 and Huk shirts were $35.99. So people saying they are over-priced, not sure where You're getting that.

Heads up, the Huk buffs run small too. Ended up giving mine away due to the fact they were too tight to be comfortable.

Must be the type. I just paid 59.99 for HUK at BPS. I think when I bought my Columbia it was around 35

I like my Guidewear with my long arms since Cabelas has tall sizes... more breathable than my Magellan shirt too.

The Columbia was $35, I believe, and the same style HUK was $50.

Sounds like I'm going to bass pro or Dicks to get some new Huk gear. You'll typically pay full-list price there. Academy online recently had the $40 long-sleeve t-shirt for $15 in some colors. They'll match the online price in the store typically. Shopping via Google search will save you some $ also. I haven't tried the ICE line yet, but the prices are anything BUT cool. I'm betting Huk "ICE" is similar to the Cabela's Guidewear "Coolcore Technology" that can often be found on sale or under some promotion. Anyone ever notice that Huk never states a UPF number like many other suppliers do? They just say their material has "SPF/UPF to keep you protected". SPF info is listed on tags. Dicks has Huk stuff on sale all of the time. It's where I bought mine. I have two new Huk shirts hanging at the moment, with every tag still in place. Never on these or ANY other Huk shirt I have looked at have I ever seen an actual SPF or UPF NUMBER stated. As well, I have yet to find any statement whatsoever on their website that includes a number. Huk says their products have "sun protection built in". As another post alluded to, even basic cotton has a measurable protection factor. Huk is dodging comparison or oversight, or maybe avoiding certain tests that would be required in order to declare a particular UPF rating (where UPF is superior to SPF, btw). The gold standard seems to be a UPF rating of 50. (SPF doesn't rate in the same way, so don't compare direct numbers.) What does UPF 50 mean, you ask? It means that 1 fiftieth (1/50th of UVA/UVB can penetrate the fabric, so that leaves 49 fiftieths (49/50th) of UVA/UVB that fails to penetrate the material. In other words, only 2% of UVA/UVB makes it through the fabric while 98% is blocked. How about a shirt with a UPF of 30? Sounds a lot worse, right? ....You would be wrong. It means 1/30th of UVA/UVB penetrates the material. That's a whopping 3.34% - compared to the 2% of UPF 50! I The material is still blocking over 96% of all UVA/UVB. Not bad, huh?
