No distractions. “Nice” weather isn't always nice to fish in. A halo of mosquitos circling your head, a skein of sandflies coating your hands, fiery midday sun scorching your skin—summery days can demand just as much protection as rainy or snowy ones. That’s why we built the Sol Defense Hoody. Breathable, high-stretch knit fabric provides a light and airy feel with full 50+ UPF sun protection. Permethrin treated core fibers repel biting insects. Stay cool, comfortable, and fully protected from sun-damage and bug bites, so you can focus on fishing.

Reviews

Best hoody there is!

"The Skwala hoody is simply the best fishing hoody there is! I consider myself a connoisseur of fishing hoody's, I wear them each and every day for the guide season on the Bow River. I have hoody's from all the major manufacturer's and the Skwala is simply the best one there is. I have 20+ fishing hoody's and I would trade them all for 5 Skwala Hoody's. The hood fits perfect, the fit and fabric and out preform all the others by far, love the side pockets. I just ordered a few more. Keep up the good work Skwala"

Great sun shirt

"Great material, light and comfortable. The hood is great to hold a hat down when you're ripping around on the boat. Love how the sleeve thumb holes are built in and not as pronounced."

— Matthew S. (5/5)

New favorite sun hoody

"Great coverage without feeling two sizes too big or clingy like a lot of others do. Thumb/finger loops are well placed, hood stays on in the wind and underway in a powerboat without being constricted on my head. Side pockets work for light items with the risk of loss if it’s windy, not using them much. Overall great shirt."

— John H. (5/5)

Best of Class

"This shirt is the absolute best of all of this type I've tried. The quality alone is the first thing I noticed, but the performance is what sealed the deal. It kept me reasonably comfortable while fishing the bays and rivers around Hilton Head Island, in June!"

— Anthony S. (5/5)

Great sun and insect protection hoody.

"Very nice hoody. I need the insect protection with all the ticks and chiggers where I fish. UV protection necessary as well."

— Martin S. (5/5)

Great fit and comfort

"The fit and comfort of this shirt are great! Since this was my first Skwala gear, I followed their sizing guidelines (6'1", 170lb) and ordered size Medium. The sleeves are perfect length and the overall fit in torso and arms is great (not too tight, not too baggy). I often go with a size Large shirt for other brands to get longer sleeves, but those shirts often are too loose/baggy especially when they get wet. The shirts keeps me cool especially after wetting it in the river, but also cools quickly. The waffle-pattern material feels pleasant, it is comfortable and smooth without being oddly slick (like other brands). Great job Skwala!"

— Koen B. (5/5)

— Eugene M. (5/5)
