Our Sol Tropic Hoody is the lightest high UPF fishing shirt ever built. You’ve never worn a sun shirt like this. The airy, fully breathable fabric isn't quite like going shirtless, but it’s as close as you’ll get while still being decent and responsible. Developed for high temperature, higher humidity environments, the Tropic Hoody is 30% lighter than a standard synthetic sunshirt, but maintains a 40+ UPF rating, even when wet. So, when you’re soaked with sweat after landing that triple digit tarpon, know that we’ve got you covered. Our Tropic Hoody keeps you protected and comfortable, no matter what.

Beyond Sun Protection

Stop compromising comfort for sun protection and don’t compromise sun protection for comfort. The Sol Collection is designed and developed to keep anglers safe from harmful UV rays. Innovative textiles with benefits like 40+ UPF sun protection, quick-dry properties, and anti-microbial finishing combined with a functional design approach allow for the Sol Collection to shine bright in a sea of similarity.

Light as a Feather

Lightweight sunshirts are either too light to actually protect you from the sun, or too heavy to keep you cool on the hottest days on the water. The new Sol Tropic Hoody, boasts a 40+ UPF rating while maintaining a soft in the hand and ultra lightweight feel. 100% polyester, 85 gram textile stays light on your skin to perform when the humidity is as high as the temperature. The Tropic Hoody will let the breeze in but keep the sun out.

Scuba hood design for enhanced coverage from the sun.

Ultralight, 85 gram polyester fabric offers 40+ UPF protection and comfort in both humid and dry environments.

Concealed thumbloops to maintain coverage when casting and moving about.

Reviews

Great quality product

"As someone who was recently diagnosed with stage IIb melanoma, sun coverage is newly important to me. Finding good quality clothing was difficult and my outdoorsman uncle highly recommended this line. I am so impressed and can’t wait to order more, I just wish there were more color options!"

Molly B. (5/5)

Amazing!!

"Excellent sun shirt. The material is light and breaths well. The hood design is better than anything I've worn. It covers the front of your neck unlike others that are a simple hoody. I wore it for the first time saltwater fishing and ordered another as a result. Great product !!"

Kevin C. (5/5)

Perfect for a full hot day in the tropical sun

"Bought this sun hoodie for spending long days fishing in Belizean sun. Great fit, super comfortable on hot days. Kept me sunburn free. It dries quickly, which is great when you get wet on the boat or when you need it to dry quickly after some last minute laundry in the hotel sink!"

Checks the boxes

"Meets my expectations perfectly. Skwala never lets me down. Great fit, great fabric. Amazing protection from the sun and I can wear under a jacket in colder conditions."

From a 35 Year Fly Fishing Guide

"I’ve been a fly fishing guide in the South Florida sun for over 35 years, so I’ve worn just about every brand of sun-protective clothing out there. When you’re on the water day after day, what you wear really matters, not just for skin protection, but for how long you can stay sharp in the heat. The Skwala gear has honestly made a difference for me. It keeps me cooler, and I can stay out an extra couple hours without feeling completely drained. That adds up over a long week of guiding. I’m hard on clothing, blood, sunblock, salt, and constant washing. I’ve probably washed this gear more times already than most recreational anglers would in years of owning it, and I’m still not seeing any real wear. If it was going to break down, I would’ve noticed by now. If it holds up and performs like this for me, I can almost guarantee you’ll love it. It just works, keeps me protected, comfortable, and going strong day after day."

Awesome design but needs a small chest pocket.

"Awesome design but needs a chest pocket. Very helpful pocket for small and frequently used items (namely sunscreen lip balm for me)."

Rhett M. (4/5)

New shirt is a nice

"New shirt is a nice upgrade from the old model. Fabric is great and can’t wait to wear it in the summer heat."

Chris S. (5/5)

Love it. Took it to

"Love it. Took it to Puerto Rico for some tarpon fishing. Hot and humid. The shirt was comfortable, the materials and fabric felt light and breathable the entire time. The hood was very comfortable and the neck wasn’t constricting so I wore the hood up the entire time. The hood never flew off even in big winds."
