Fishing

Time on the water rewards preparation. Columbia's Performance Fishing Gear — PFG — is the brand's dedicated fishing apparel and footwear line, developed specifically for the conditions that anglers face across a full day on the water: sustained UV exposure, heat, saltwater contact, and the need for gear that functions reliably from the first cast to the last. Across 61 products for men, women, and kids, the UAE fishing collection covers fishing shirts with built-in sun protection, water-ready fishing shoes, quick-dry water shorts, fishing accessories, and the full PFG range built for Gulf coast, open-water, and offshore fishing across the UAE's diverse angling environment.

PFG Bahama™ II — The Fishing Shirt UAE Anglers Trust Most

The PFG Bahama II is Columbia's most widely worn fishing shirt — a long-sleeve and short-sleeve button-down built specifically for sustained outdoor use in hot, humid conditions. One hundred percent Tactel® nylon construction is inherently lightweight and quick-drying, shedding moisture continuously during active use. Hidden shoulder vents open airflow channels across the upper back and shoulders — the areas that accumulate the most heat during long sessions in direct sun — while a mesh-lined back yoke drives passive ventilation across the spine. Omni-Shade™ Broad Spectrum UPF 50 protection blocks a wide range of UVA and UVB rays at the fabric level, providing continuous sun coverage across hours of open-water exposure where sunscreen washes off and cannot be reliably reapplied. Dual chest pockets with lift-top access, rod-holder loops, and a relaxed fit suited to active casting motion complete a fishing shirt that earns its place in a UAE angler's kit across every session on the Gulf, the open ocean, or Abu Dhabi's coastal waterways. Available in white, beige, blue, and green across both long-sleeve and short-sleeve formats.

PFG Wild Cast™ — The Technical Fishing Sun Shirt

The PFG Wild Cast collection is Columbia's most technically advanced fishing apparel line in the UAE range — shirts, sun shirts, and shorts built for serious angling use where performance at the technical level matters as much as comfort. The Men's PFG Wild Cast Sun Shirt uses Omni-Shade™ Broad Spectrum UPF protection alongside a lightweight woven construction with a longer hem and secure pocket layout suited to full-day offshore fishing use. The Women's Wild Cast Sun Shirt Top and Wild Cast Long Sleeve Shirt bring the same technical sun protection into women's-specific fishing shirts in white, blue, purple, and green — genuine fishing clothes for women who spend real time on the water rather than casual outdoor shirts repurposed for fishing. The Men's PFG Wild Cast Long Sleeve and Short Sleeve Shirts extend the range with PFG-specific construction across additional colourways. The PFG Wild Cast Shorts complete the Wild Cast system for bottom-half coverage — quick-dry, Omni-Shield™ repellent fabric in black and brown suited to active fishing use on boat decks and waterfront settings.

Fishing Shoes — Drainmaker™ XTR & PFG Boatside™

Fishing footwear serves a specific brief that trail shoes and casual sneakers cannot meet — they need to grip on wet boat decks, drain water quickly when they get wet, and stay comfortable across a full day of standing on a rocking surface. The Men's Drainmaker XTR Shoes are the most capable fishing shoe in the collection: a vented TechLite™ midsole with drainage ports in the heel and forefoot allows water to flow through and out of the shoe rather than pooling inside, a quick-dry mesh upper sheds moisture in minutes, and Omni-Grip™ non-marking traction rubber grips wet boat deck surfaces, slick waterfront terrain, and rocky shore without marking the deck. Available in black, grey, and blue across men's sizes. The Women's Drainmaker XTR Shoes bring the same boat-specific engineering into women's sizes in white and blue. The Men's PFG Boatside Relaxed Shoes offer a more casual, slip-on format for waterfront use — a boating shoe in beige and grey with Omni-Grip™ LT lightweight traction for dock-to-boat transitions. The Men's PFG Whipray Shoes sit at the performance ceiling of the fishing footwear range — purpose-engineered for serious angling use with maximum deck grip and water performance. The Women's Bonehead LEA Shoe completes the women's fishing footwear range in white.

Water Shorts for Fishing & Coastal Days

Columbia's PFG water shorts range covers the lower-body fishing need — quick-dry constructions that handle repeated water exposure, active movement on a boat deck, and long hours in warm outdoor conditions. The Men's PFG Super Backcast II Water Shorts are the most technically capable in the range — quick-dry fabric, built-in mesh brief, and a secure waistband suited to active fishing use in blue and green. The Men's PFG Rambler Printed Water Shorts add a printed pattern option in blue. The Men's PFG Wild Cast Shorts bring a heavier nylon construction with Omni-Shield™ repellency in black and brown for fishing use that extends beyond the boat to waterfront settings and coastal casual wear. For families, the Kids' CSC x Disney PFG Rambler Water Shorts and Toddler CSC x Disney PFG Rambler Water Shorts extend the water short range to younger anglers in a fun Disney-collaboration blue colourway — the kids' fishing shorts that keep young anglers comfortable on family boat days and UAE waterside outings.

Fishing Accessories — Hats, Caps & Sun Protection

Columbia's fishing accessories in the UAE range cover the head and face protection that a fishing day in open sun demands. The Wild Cast Booney Hat is the standout sun accessory — a wide-brim hat in beige with Omni-Shade™ UPF protection that shades the face, ears, and neck simultaneously, providing the all-around coverage that a ball cap alone cannot deliver across a full day of direct sun exposure on the water. The Wild Cast Booney Hat variant in beige adds a premium construction at a higher price point for serious anglers who want the most complete sun coverage in the range. The PFG Elite 3D Stretch Snap Back Cap provides ball cap sun coverage with a structured PFG-branded front panel in blue and green — the fishing cap for UAE anglers who prefer a classic ball cap silhouette. The PFG Uncharted II Snap Back Hat and PFG Logo Mesh Ball Cap complete the fishing headwear range in white and grey across classic cap and snap-back formats.

Women's Fishing Apparel & Casual PFG Styles

Columbia's women's fishing range covers the full spectrum from technical fishing shirts to casual waterfront wear. The Women's PFG Open Water Short Sleeve T-Shirt brings PFG-branded casual fishing apparel in black and green — a relaxed tee suited to waterside casual use and light fishing days. The Women's CSC x Disney PFG Super Slack Tide Shirt offers a Disney-collaboration casual fishing shirt in blue — relaxed, fun, and still carrying PFG's quick-dry, water-ready construction underneath. The Women's CSC x Disney PFG Rugged Water Shorts complete the women's water short range with the Disney collaboration format in blue — quick-dry, active-use fishing shorts for women and girls who spend time on the water with family.

Fishing in the UAE — What the Conditions Demand

Fishing in the UAE involves specific challenges that most generic outdoor clothing is not designed around. Gulf waters combine intense UV exposure, persistent heat, and high humidity across a typical fishing session — conditions where a standard shirt becomes damp and uncomfortable quickly, where sunscreen washes off in sweat and sea spray within the first hour, and where shoe grip on a wet boat deck is a safety consideration as much as a comfort one. Columbia's PFG range was developed around exactly these kinds of conditions — UV protection built into the fabric construction that holds regardless of sweat or water exposure, ventilation systems that drive airflow during active use, quick-dry fabrics that recover in minutes, and fishing footwear engineered specifically for boat deck use. From the Dubai Marina to Abu Dhabi's open Gulf waters and offshore fishing destinations along the UAE coastline, the PFG collection covers every version of what UAE fishing demands from clothing, footwear, and accessories.
