Pointab Long Sleeve Safari Shirt, $20 (was $39)
Why do we like this deal?
Although today we think of outdoorsmen as wearing Patagonia or Arc’teryx, or perhaps a light blue sunshirt, this is an ideal look. Probably best portrayed by Sam Neill Jurassic ParkHowever, certainly front and center as pioneered by Indiana Jones, Steve Irwin and Nigel Thornberry, the collared, double-front-pocket, button-up adventurer shirt is perfect for outdoor treks.
We found one on sale at Walmart for just $20, and its looks are almost perfect for today’s trends, but it’s actually built to help you survive outside, too.
The Pointab Long Sleeve Safari Shirt is ideal for fishing, outdoor work, and hiking, and is now reduced by nearly $20 from MSRP in all eight of its available colors. Unfortunately, this bestselling shirt is marked down as part of a Walmart Flash Deal, which means the offer will expire after Saturday.

If you go out in this shirt, you’ll look like a guy who knows animals, gets lost in the woods only when he feels like it, and knows where the best fishing spots are. Zoo keepers, naturalists, and guides have all been seen wearing this exact style. I am very impressed with the color khaki; However, the blue version, although not denim, adopts the Dr. Alan Grant style if you recall Jurassic Park Actor Sam Neill passed away this week.
However, this shirt is not just a prop. It’s actually UPF50, which blocks out harmful UVA and UVB rays like it’s some kind of sunscreen that you don’t have to reapply every two hours. There’s a mesh vent at the back that simultaneously keeps you cool, wicks out moisture and keeps out insects. You can also roll up the sleeves and button them up, and there’s also a sunglasses loop near the left chest pocket. This style of shirt is iconic for a reason, and if you go fishing or hiking wearing it, you’ll see why.

what shoppers are saying
One shopper bought some of these for her husband, reporting, “They’re much cooler than T-shirts when he’s out in the sun.”
Another said that “they’re so durable, dry quickly” and have a “silky texture.”
The Pointab Long Sleeve Safari Shirt is only $20 until the end of the week, though it’s a style that will last longer than that.
