Patagonia Men's Cap Cool Sun Hoody

The Patagonia Men's Capilene® Cool Sun Hoody is designed for long days under the sun, offering lightweight comfort, advanced moisture management, and reliable 40+ UPF sun protection.

Whether you’re fishing, hiking, or traveling, this technical hoody helps regulate your body’s microclimate to keep you cool, dry, and protected in hot conditions.

Made from 100% recycled polyester jersey, the fabric features a moisture-wicking finish and fast-drying performance, with a textured back that lifts material off the skin for improved airflow. The result is a breathable, next-to-skin feel that performs when you’re working hard in the heat. Its sun protection is built into the fabric construction, ensuring it won’t wash out over time.

The generous hood with button closure is designed to fit comfortably over a cap, providing added protection for your head and neck. Thumb holes at the cuffs extend coverage to the backs of your hands, while articulated sleeves support a full range of motion for casting and active movement. A vertical zippered chest pocket offers secure storage for small essentials, and minimal seams reduce chafing for all-day comfort.

Built for performance and sustainability, the Capilene® Cool Sun Hoody is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, making it a dependable and responsible choice for high-output days outdoors.

Q: What makes a fishing shirt different from a regular shirt?
A: Fishing shirts are designed specifically for comfort, sun protection, and performance on the water. They’re made from lightweight, quick-drying, and breathable materials that wick away moisture and often include UPF-rated sun protection — keeping anglers cool and protected all day long. Materials are also often stain resistant, great in the case that you get fish slime, mud, or anything else on them.

Q: Are fishing shirts good for hot weather?
A: Yes, fishing shirts are ideal for warm conditions. They feature moisture-wicking fabrics, mesh venting, and lightweight construction to help you stay cool and dry, whether you’re on the flats, in a drift boat, or hiking to your favourite trout stream.

Q: Do your fishing shirts offer sun protection?
A: Absolutely. Most of our fishing shirts feature UPF 30–50+ sun protection to guard against harmful UV rays. Long sleeves, high collars, and extended cuffs provide added coverage without sacrificing comfort or breathability.

Q: Which brands of fishing shirts do you carry?
A: Drift Outfitters carries top apparel brands including Simms, Patagonia, and Hooké. Each brand offers a mix of technical performance shirts and casual styles built for anglers who demand comfort and function both on and off the water.

Q: Are your fishing shirts available in both men’s and women’s styles?
A: Yes, we stock a range of fishing shirts tailored for both men and women, with ergonomic fits and designs that prioritize movement, comfort, and coverage in all conditions.

Q: How should I care for my fishing shirts?
A: Wash your fishing shirts according to manufacturer directions. Hang dry or tumble on low heat to preserve technical fabric performance and UPF protection over time.
