What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying: "I wear this on bright, exposed days when sun protection is non-negotiable. The UPF 50 coverage gives me peace of mind, and Omni-Freeze(TM) plus Omni-Wick(TM) keep it feeling cool even when temps climb. The hood stays put in wind, and the thumbhole cuffs are great for full coverage while casting. It's lightweight, breathable, and built for long hours on the water." Under cloudless skies and reflective water, we rely on the Wild Cast Sun Hoodie from Columbia to keep us cool and protected. Designed for long days on the water, it pairs lightweight comfort with serious sun defense so we can focus on the next cast. Omni-Shade(TM) Broad Spectrum UPF 50 blocks a wide range of UVA and UVB rays, while Omni-Freeze(TM) and Omni-Wick(TM) technologies work together to accelerate wicking and enhance next-to-skin cooling. The scuba-style hood with a quick-adjust drawcord delivers secure coverage in breezy conditions, and sun-blocking cuffs with thumbholes extend protection over the wrists. Built with stretch for easy movement and finished with a convenient sunglasses loop, this hoodie is ready for bright, hot fishing days.
