"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve worn the SolarFlex Hoodie on everything from full-day floats to high-elevation hikes. The hood fits snugly under a hat and stays put in the wind, and the thumbholes help cover the backs of my hands. It breathes way better than older sun hoodies I’ve used, and it doesn’t hold sweat.""We count on the SolarFlex Hoodie when the sun’s out and we’re staying out. Simms reengineered this trusted layer with improved breathability, delivering a lightweight knit that stretches, wicks, and dries fast to keep us comfortable under direct sun. Whether we’re casting, climbing, or crossing ridgelines, this hoodie is designed for performance and protection in the heat. Its 3-panel hood fits close and stays secure, even in wind or under a helmet, with a snap front closure for added coverage. Extended sleeves with thumbholes and a center finger loop protect the backs of our hands, while HeiQ Fresh and Stain Away treatments help keep things fresh through long hours on trail or river."
