When the river temperature drops and frost forms on the guides, the Skwala Thermo 350 Hoody becomes the layer you reach for first. Built as the warmest base layer in the Skwala Thermo Collection, this premium Merino wool fishing hoody delivers exceptional warmth, moisture control, and comfort for anglers fishing in truly cold conditions.
Constructed from 95% hand-selected New Zealand Merino wool blended with stretch fibers for mobility, the Thermo 350 Hoody offers natural insulation that performs better than traditional synthetics in cold, wet environments. The 350-gram heavyweight Merino fabric traps heat while actively wicking moisture away from the skin, keeping you dry and comfortable during long winter fishing sessions.
A full scuba-style hood and high zip collar provide additional protection when temperatures drop, making the Thermo 350 Hoody the perfect cold-weather fly fishing base layer whether worn under waders, rain shells, or insulated outerwear.
Nature already solved the insulation problem—sheep figured it out long ago. Instead of trying to replicate it with synthetics, Skwala built the Thermo Collection around the natural performance of high-quality Merino wool.
The process starts with premium wool grown in New Zealand, widely considered the world’s best Merino source. That wool is then spun and engineered in Germany, where it’s blended with a small amount of stretch fibers to improve durability, flexibility, and long-term performance.
The result is a heavyweight Merino wool fishing base layer that provides unmatched warmth, comfort, and moisture management.
Unlike cotton or traditional synthetic fabrics, Merino wool naturally regulates temperature and remains comfortable even during extended use.
Key advantages of Merino wool include:
Whether you're wading icy winter rivers or layering for a late-season steelhead trip, the Thermo 350 Hoody keeps your body warm without overheating.
The Thermo 350 Hoody was engineered as a cold-weather fishing base layer that integrates seamlessly with technical outerwear systems. Its snug performance fit allows it to sit comfortably beneath waders, rain jackets, or insulated fishing shells without bunching or restricting movement.
On brutally cold days, pair it with a waterproof shell like the Skwala RS Jacket or an insulating layer like the Fusion Puffy for a complete cold-weather fishing system.
From frozen winter trout streams to late-season steelhead rivers, the Skwala Thermo 350 Hoody delivers the warmth, comfort, and performance serious anglers need to stay on the water when the temperature drops.
