Patagonia Men's Capilene Cool Sun Hoody - Fitz Roy Trout

The Patagonia Men's Capilene Cool Sun Hoody - Fitz Roy Trout delivers the same trusted performance as Patagonia’s most popular sun hoody, now paired with a distinctive graphic design.

Built for long, exposed days on the water or trail, it offers 40+ UPF sun protection, moisture-wicking comfort, and fast-drying performance to keep you cool and protected when conditions heat up.

Constructed from 100% recycled polyester jersey, the lightweight fabric features a wicking finish and textured back that lifts material off the skin for improved airflow and breathability. Its sun protection is inherent to the fabric construction, meaning it won’t wash out over time—ideal for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts who spend extended hours under direct sun.

The generous hood with button closure is designed to fit comfortably over a cap, providing added coverage for your head and neck. Thumb holes at the cuffs extend protection over the backs of your hands, while articulated sleeves ensure unrestricted movement for casting or hiking. A vertical zippered chest pocket keeps small essentials secure, and the minimal seam construction helps reduce chafing during high-output activity.

Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, this hoody blends technical performance, comfort, and responsible manufacturing—making it a go-to layer for sunny 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.
