"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""This hoodie is a game-changer for long days on the water. The Insect Shield technology really helps keep the bugs at bay, and the buttery soft fabric feels great against my skin. It stretches well, wicks away sweat, and dries quickly, so I stay comfortable even in the heat. The fitted hood and extended sleeves with thumbholes provide extra coverage, and I love the convenient kangaroo pocket for keeping small essentials close.""Nothing ruins a day on the water faster than relentless bugs, but with the Simms Bugstopper Hoodie, we stay focused on the cast—not the swarms. Built with Insect Shield® technology, this hoodie repels biting insects while offering buttery smooth comfort and moisture-wicking performance. Designed for long days outdoors, the Bugstopper Hoodie features a fitted three-panel hood for extra coverage, extended sleeves with envelope thumbholes to protect our hands, and UPF 50+ fabric to shield us from the sun. A half-zip front allows for easy layering, while the pass-through kangaroo pocket keeps our essentials close. From dawn patrol to dusk bites, this hoodie is an essential layer for bug-free comfort on the water."
