Thicker hoody for a little more warmth and light wind protection?

Featured Replies

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? 

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.

Look at HUK and. AFTCO.   The AFTCO has a built in vented face covering you can pull down.  Both are worth the price.

Or get a fleece or down vest. When you hit the shoulder season when it’s foggy and 45 in the morning and then warms up to 75 and sun at by noon it’s time for layers. 

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

Duluth Trading Company makes close-to-lifetime hoodies. Thick too. And their sales are great.

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.

You can't do any better than the AFTCO reaper.

^ Layering is something we up north learn early - especially for those days that start cold and end up warm.
