When summer fishing is at its best, the conditions can be brutal — high sun, sticky heat, and relentless bugs. The Simms BugStopper Solarflex Hoody is purpose-built to keep you dialed in when the bite is on, combining UPF 50 sun protection with long-lasting Insect Shield® technology in one ultra-comfortable performance fishing hoody.
Made with Simms’ top-performing SolarFlex® knit fabric, this technical fishing sun shirt feels smooth and cool against the skin, stretches easily for unrestricted casting, and dries fast when things get sweaty, humid, or wet. It’s also treated with HeiQ Fresh odor control and HeiQ Stain Away to keep you feeling cleaner and fresher after long days on the water.
From riverbanks to boat decks, from remote backcountry creeks to buggy lake shorelines, the BugStopper Solarflex Hoody is the one piece of gear that helps you stay protected and comfortable — without distractions.
