Q: How does this hoodie fit?
A: It has a slightly fitted fit, relaxed through the chest and sleeves with a slightly slimmer waist. If you prefer a roomier feel for layering, we recommend sizing up. It's offered in regular and tall proportions.
Q: How does the Insect Shield treatment work, and how long does it last?
A: It is treated with permethrin, a synthetic version of a bug repellent naturally produced by chrysanthemums. The Insect Shield treatment is invisible and odorless, and it remains effective for up to 70 washes.
Q: Does this hoodie help protect from the sun?
A: Yes, it is made with SunSmart fabric that provides UPF 30+ sun protection. It blocks at least 96.5% of the sun's rays.
Q: What is the fabric like, and will it dry quickly?
A: The lightweight polyester knit jersey feels soft against the skin and has stretch from the spandex blend (94% polyester, 6% spandex). It is moisture-wicking and quick drying, which is great for fishing and hiking.
Q: What features help with coverage while I'm outside?
A: The lightweight two-ply hood adds extra coverage when you want it. Thumbholes at the cuffs help keep sleeves in place for more coverage, and the droptail hem adds a bit more length in back.
