Full details

The Simms Solarflex UV Protective Hoody is designed for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking superior sun protection and comfort in hot weather. Its primary benefit is UPF 50+ rated fabric that effectively blocks harmful UV rays while remaining breathable, smooth, and quick-drying. A potential caveat is its hooded design, which might be too warm for some in extremely high temperatures if not used with adequate ventilation. This hoody offers enhanced mobility, full coverage, and a secure hood closure, making it ideal for intense sunlight and boat rides.

FAQs

What does UPF 50+ mean?

The polyester fabric is designed to be quick-drying, typically wicking moisture away and evaporating it rapidly to keep you comfortable.

Is the hood adjustable?

Yes, the hood features a closure that allows for adjustment to better fit and stay in place.

What are the available colors and sizes?

This specific product is available in Blue, with sizes ranging from Medium to XLarge.

Can this shirt be worn in cooler weather?

While designed for hot weather, it can be layered over other clothing in cooler conditions for added sun protection.

What is the material of the shirt?

The shirt is made from polyester, which contributes to its breathable, quick-drying, and stretchy properties.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels less breathable after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and avoiding fabric softeners, which can clog fabric pores. Rinse thoroughly.

Hood feels restrictive.

Adjust the hood closure to a more comfortable setting. Ensure the shirt is the correct size for your body.
