The Best Shirts for Swamp Base
Almost every Swamp Base crew orders wicking shirts. Some call them technical, performance, or polyester shirts. They dry fast, resist odor, pack small, and keep you cool in the Louisiana heat and humidity.
B474 Wicking Tee
Lightweight 100% polyester in 33 colors. The crew favorite.
B476 Wicking Long Sleeve
Sun protection for long days paddling the bayou, and a layer against mosquitoes.
Quick-Drying Wins
You’ll get wet. Polyester dries fast and stays light, while cotton stays soggy.
Mix and Save
Mix wicking tees, cotton tees, hoodies, polos, and tanks with the same design. The whole order counts toward your price break.
Beware of Hooks
Snags are the sworn enemy of wicking shirts. Fish hooks, branches, and gear can pull loops out of the fabric, and not every shirt survives the trip. Order a few extras so every Scout has a souvenir shirt to bring home.
Light, Soft Print
Your design is printed with a light, soft feel that’s comfortable in the heat and holds up to a week in the swamp.
Wicking shirts cost a little more than the cotton prices shown on our design ideas. See all garments.

Swamp Base Trek Patches
A custom patch for your trip will be treasured for years. We can design one from a sketch or just an idea: your crew, your route, or the gator you spotted from the canoe.
Order early: most patch orders arrive in 4–5 weeks, including artwork approval. Rush options are available.
Learn more about custom Scout patches.
Swamp Base Hats & Embroidery
Choose from 100+ embroidered garments and caps, including fishing-style shirts. We can embroider any Swamp Base design, or create a custom one for your crew. It’s a great way to remember the trip.

Swamp Base Gear FAQ
What is the Swamp Base?
The Swamp Base offers paddling and camping treks in the bayous of Louisiana’s Atchafalaya Basin. Visit the official Swamp Base site.
What shirt is best for Swamp Base?
A lightweight wicking shirt like the B474. It dries fast, resists odor, and packs small. Add the B476 long sleeve for sun and mosquito protection.
Can we add our crew number and names?
Yes. Add your Troop or Crew number, trek, year, and crew names in any colors at no extra charge.
When should we order?
Order shirts a few weeks before you leave. We guarantee an in-hand date when you order. Custom patches take about 4–5 weeks including art approval, so start those early.
