wasabi_VA Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Wore my thin sun protection hoody today but wished it was just a little thicker. Know of a sun protection hoody that is kinda between a sweatshirt and the regular really thin hoodies that are like tissue paper and sold everywhere? Quote
MediumMouthBass Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Im a bit of a hypocrite by saying this, (as i wear my sun shirts any chance i get, even when im not fishing) but IMO sun shirts are only good for hot days when you need full coverage and a thin layer to prevent overheating. This time of year or fall ill just wear a flannel, coat, or 1/4 zip. Add some mineral based sunscreen to the face/neck/ears and throw a gaiter over the neck. If you think the UV rays will go through any of your warmer clothes just throw a sun shirt on under them. It will barely add any bulk, nor will it make you feel too warm. To my knowledge most if not all sun shirts are made for fishing in the heat and are very thin. 1 Quote
Super User Columbia Craw Posted March 13 Super User Posted March 13 Look at HUK and. AFTCO. The AFTCO has a built in vented face covering you can pull down. Both are worth the price. Quote

BayouBill Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I have the AFTCO hoodie and I like the weight, couldn’t get used to the face “gaiter” down around my neck when I didn’t need it, I cut it out Quote
Super User Swamp Girl Posted March 13 Super User Posted March 13 Duluth Trading Company makes close-to-lifetime hoodies. Thick too. And their sales are great. 1 1 Quote
Rockhopper Posted March 13 Posted March 13 I've always loved these for lightweight hoodies. Always use them for my baseball teams. Really good quality. Can get them in short sleeve if desired. Pretty inexpensive too. https://a.co/d/1K5aZ4U Quote
Junk Fisherman Posted March 13 Posted March 13 Rather than buy another shirt, why not just wear something underneath it? 1 Quote
Super User MN Fisher Posted March 13 Super User Posted March 13 ^ Layering is something we up north learn early - especially for those days that start cold and end up warm. 2 Quote
