If you could design the perfect all-season fly fishing shirt, it would look a lot like the Skwala Thermo 150 Hoody. Built with ultrafine Merino wool and engineered stretch fabrics, this incredibly versatile piece works as a lightweight base layer, breathable sun hoody, and performance fishing shirt all in one.
Whether you're chasing trout under blazing summer sun or layering up for crisp mornings on the river, the Thermo 150 delivers temperature regulation, moisture management, and all-day comfort. Constructed with 17.5 micron ultrafine Merino wool, this hoody offers a buttery soft feel against the skin while naturally regulating body temperature and resisting odor during long fishing days.
With 50+ UPF sun protection, a full scuba hood, and integrated thumb loops, the Thermo 150 Hoody protects you from harsh sun exposure while maintaining the breathability and stretch needed for casting, rowing, and hiking along the river.
At the core of the Thermo 150 Hoody is one of nature’s best performance materials: Merino wool. Skwala begins with hand-selected Merino grown in New Zealand, widely considered the highest quality wool available. That wool is then spun and engineered in Germany, where it’s blended with nylon and stretch fibers to create a lightweight yet durable fabric ideal for active outdoor pursuits.
The result is a 150-gram Merino blend fishing hoody that delivers:
Unlike traditional cotton shirts that retain moisture and lose insulation, Merino wool actively works to keep you cool in the heat and warm when temperatures drop, making the Thermo 150 Hoody one of the most adaptable layers in your fishing kit.
The Thermo 150 Hoody bridges the gap between a technical sun shirt and lightweight base layer. During warm weather it functions as a breathable UPF fishing sun hoody, while cooler days call for wearing it beneath mid-layers and waterproof shells.
Its snug scuba hood provides full coverage from sun, wind, and cold, while the streamlined fit layers easily beneath jackets without bulk.
Whether you’re fishing spring hatches, summer terrestrials, or fall streamer runs, this multi-season fly fishing hoody adapts to the conditions.
