The d76 lobster fishing shirt from Odyssey Apparel puts the West Coast’s most sought-after summer catch onto a storm-lit, full-colour sublimated design, built for anglers and divers who live for crayfish season.
Manufactured from 100% moisture management polyester fabric: breathable, UV-resistant, and built for long days on the boat or in the water in the South African sun. The dye sublimation print bonds permanently into the fabric, so the artwork stays vivid and colourfast through salt spray, sun, and every wash.
Quick-drying and comfortable, this fabric is built to handle a full day of diving or boat work without ever feeling heavy or restrictive.
Available in sizes from Kiddies to Adult 9XL, so the whole crew can gear up for the next crayfish trip. Check the size chart before ordering, and reach out via our Custom Designs page if you need help picking the right fit.
West Coast rock lobster, known to most South Africans simply as crayfish, is one of the country’s most anticipated seasonal catches, chased by divers freediving the kelp beds and hoop-netters working the shallows from Cape Town up the West Coast. Strict permits, size limits, and bag limits keep the resource going for the next season, and a good crayfish day out is as much a summer tradition as the braai that follows it. This design gives that tradition its own artwork, joining the rest of Odyssey’s species-specific designs in the Shirt range.
UV-resistant fabric keeps the sun off during long days on the water, and the moisture management weave keeps you comfortable whether you’re diving, hoop-netting, or just running the boat out to the grounds. Delivery nationwide runs through trusted courier partners including DSV, so wherever you’re diving from in South Africa, this shirt gets to you.
To keep the design looking sharp trip after trip, wash on a cool machine cycle and hang or drip dry rather than tumble drying on high heat. Because the dye sublimation print is bonded into the fibres of the fabric rather than sitting on top of it, it resists cracking, flaking, and fading through sun, salt, and repeated washing in a way that screen-printed or vinyl-transfer shirts cannot match. Rinse the shirt as soon as you reasonably can after a session on salt water, and avoid harsh bleach-based detergents that can dull the moisture management finish over time.
Odyssey Apparel’s moisture management fabric is cut for a comfortable, true-to-size fit across the full Kiddies to Adult 9XL size range, so most anglers and divers find their usual size works well for a full day out. If you are between sizes, our size chart on the product page breaks down chest, length, and sleeve measurements in detail, and our team is happy to help through the Custom Designs page if you are still unsure. A design that fits properly gets worn on every trip, not left in the cupboard.
