When you’re spending long days on the water, sun exposure, heat, and sweat can wear you down fast. The Simms Solarflex Hoody is built specifically for anglers who need serious UV protection, lightweight comfort, and breathable performance from first cast to last light.
Constructed with Simms’ highest performing UPF 50+ solar protective knit fabric, this sun hoody feels smooth against the skin, stretches naturally for all-day mobility, and dries fast when conditions get hot, humid, or wet. Add in HeiQ Fresh odor control and HeiQ Stain Away technology, and you’ve got a performance fishing sun shirt that stays cleaner, fresher, and more comfortable through constant wear.
Whether you’re wading rivers, poling the flats, or grinding through summer heat on the boat, the Solarflex Hoody is one of the best UPF fishing hoodies you can wear for sun protection, breathability, and long-lasting durability.
It’s an ideal choice for:
UPF 50+ Sun Protection Built for Anglers
This hoody features UPF 50+ protection to help block harmful UV rays—perfect for high-exposure days on the water where long sleeves and a hood can make a major difference.
Improved Breathability + Smooth Knit Comfort
The upgraded knit fabric provides enhanced airflow and comfort, while still staying tough enough for everyday fishing use. It’s soft, smooth, and built to move with you.
Vented 3-Panel Hood That Actually Stays Put
The 3-panel vented hood is designed for real fishing conditions—shielding your head, neck, and ears from sunlight while staying secure thanks to a stretch binding and snap closure.
Thumbholes + Finger Loop for Full Hand Coverage
Sun exposure on the backs of your hands can be brutal. The Solarflex includes:
Clean, Low-Profile Construction
A low-profile saddle stitch seam construction reduces bulk and improves comfort—especially under packs, bibs, or wader straps.
