SOL DEFENSE HOODY

Conquer the elements without compromises.
The Skwala Sol Defense Hoody elevates technical fly fishing apparel by combating your two fiercest summer opponents: blazing sun and biting insects. Crafted from an ultra-light, 100% polyester stretch-knit body, this high-performance sun shirt maximizes airflow to keep you cool when air temps climb.

By treating the core fibers directly with Permethrin before construction, Skwala provides invisible, long-lasting defense against swarms for up to 40 washes. Complete with an ergonomic scuba hood that protects your neck without limiting peripheral vision, thumb loops for back-of-hand security, and a streamlined side dump pocket for rapid tool storage, this hoody ensures you focus on the fish—not the conditions.

 

Anglers facing midday glare on the Miracle Mile or navigating heavy mosquito hatches near Yellowstone require extreme high-altitude UV security. Market this shirt's 50+ UPF defense as "thin-air protection" where the sun burns faster. Highlight the Permethrin-treated fibers to local drift-boat guides who need lightweight, fast-drying shielding from fierce mountain winds and heavy riverside bug swarms without applying greasy sprays.
