About

Sweaters & Hoodies Quick Picks Best Value: Trident Bamboo Fly Fishing Sun Hoodie - For anglers who want an affordable, do-it-all sun layer for warm-weather wading and boat days. The bamboo-blend feel is soft and everyday-wearable, with quick-dry performance built in. Best for Hot Weather: Simms SolarFlex Cooling Hoody - For high-sun, high-humidity days when you want maximum coverage without feeling clammy. It’s built with UPF 50+ protection and a cool-to-the-touch knit that stays comfortable while casting. Best for Bugs: Simms Bugstopper SolarFlex Hoody - For summer hatches that come with mosquitos and no-see-ums (and long evenings on the river). You get UPF 50 coverage plus built-in insect protection, without adding a separate bug layer. Best Insulated: Patagonia Men's Nano Puff Fitz Roy Trout Hoody - For cold starts, windy boat runs, and travel when you need real warmth in a packable layer. The insulated construction makes it a strong choice over baselayers and under a shell. Best Midlayer: Patagonia Men's R2 TechFace Hoody - For active fishing days where you’re hiking in, rowing, or covering water fast. It’s a stretchy, breathable fleece-style piece that layers cleanly under rain gear without feeling bulky. How to Choose Sweaters & Hoodies A fishing hoodie: sun hoodies vs. warm hoodies (they're not the same) Action: Start by deciding if you need coverage or insulation . Sun hoodies: Lightweight, breathable, and designed to protect your skin on bright days. Look for UPF ratings, quick-dry fabric, and good hood coverage over a hat. Insulated hoodies & sweaters: Built to trap heat for shoulder season and winter. Look for fleece or insulated pieces when you’re wearing waders in cold water or fishing early/late. Key features that matter on the water Hood design: A 3-panel hood and a secure closure helps keep it on during wind and boat runs. Sleeve coverage: Thumbholes and extended cuffs are a big deal for back-of-hand sun protection and clean layering. Fab
