What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I wear this on long, sunny days on the water when coverage matters. The UPF 50 protection is solid, and Omni-Wick(TM) keeps it from feeling heavy once I start sweating. The quarter-zip lets me dump heat fast, and the stretch fabric moves comfortably whether I'm casting or running the boat." When the sun reflects off open water and the day stretches ahead, we zip into the Slack Tide 1/4-Zip Jacket from Columbia and stay focused on the next cast. Designed within the PFG collection, it delivers lightweight performance built specifically for warm, exposed conditions. Omni-Shade(TM) UPF 50 helps guard against harmful UV rays, while Omni-Wick(TM) technology pulls sweat away from the skin for fast-drying comfort. The quarter-zip placket allows quick ventilation, and the stand-up collar adds extra sun coverage around the neck. Crafted from a stretch polyester blend, this pullover moves easily with us through every cast, reel, and dockside moment.
