What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "The SolarFlex Hoody is my go-to when I’m fishing under blazing sun. It’s unbelievably lightweight, dries fast, and the hood fits perfectly over a cap. The thumbholes and snap neck keep everything in place when casting or running the boat—it’s the best sun shirt I’ve ever owned."We wear the Simms SolarFlex Hoody when the sun is high and the water is calling. Built from quick-drying, moisture-wicking COR3 polyester, this lightweight layer offers UPF 50 protection that keeps us cool, dry, and shielded from the harshest rays. The soft, breathable fabric moves naturally as we cast, while raglan sleeves and thumbholes give full freedom of motion and hand coverage. The fixed hood fits comfortably over a cap for added shade, and the snap closure at the neck helps it stay put when the wind picks up. Whether we’re wading deep in the river or hiking to the next stretch of water, this is the sun hoody we trust for long, hot days spent chasing fish and adventure.
