Reviews

Slightly snug, but great shirt

"Slightly snug fit, but otherwise well built shirt. Length is perfect, hood is just the right depth. Nice light material. Arms, shoulders and chest are a little snug although the descriptions list it as a “Base layer - loose fit” & “relaxed fit for… ventilation” I hunt Southern California where the temp ranges from 55-85* I wear XL shirts (purchased XL) and have never worn a 2XL in any shirt. 5’11 200 lb; wasn’t small enough to warrant an exchange but I definitely contemplated it when put it on the first time"

Perfect fit and function for warm to hot

"Excellent warm to hot weather shirt. I used it for a pronghorn hunt with temps 60 in the morning and 85 by afternoon. It worked very well. The durability was excellent too. Not too tight and not too loose. I was happily surprised it wasn’t very shiny either. Most of these types of shirts are very reflective and shiny."

— Jared N. (5/5)

Love it!

"Love the camo pattern/color and it’s very comfortable. I like a little tighter fit and XL was a bit too large in a different color pattern so bought the L as well and L is perfect. Highly recommend!"

— Derek L. (5/5)

Great sun hoodie

"Worked great keeping the sun off on my latest mule deer hunt. Temps were in the mid to upper 60s during the day and it kept me cool the entire hunt."

— Shawn D. (5/5)

Outperform expectations

"These are awesome!! I have 4 of them now, in the heat they are amazing. I’ve sat through a bunch of my kids soccer games in 100+ degree heat and these things out perform anything I’ve worn including HUK fishing shirts. I wore 2 of them in 78ish degrees and rain for opening archery season in north TX…a very wet 78 degrees and these things do not disappoint."

— Ryan N. (5/5)

Great shirt. I live in

"Great shirt. I live in darwin NT australia and if your not aware of the weather here, it gets hot! I have been using this shirt for waterfowl season and it's awesome! Will be using it for future hunts and just outside work in general!"

— Josh B. (5/5)

Fits and feels great

"Worn this several times already and don’t regret it one bit. Very breathable, lightweight and comfortable. The hood helped protect my neck from the sun. Will definitely buy another one"

— Ben T. (5/5)

Excellent Multifunctional top

"Haven’t used it in the sun yet but as a baselayer works perfect with the hood and I’m sure it will do its job in the sun great piece of kit"

— Jamie P. (5/5)

Really like this hoodie so

"Really like this hoodie so far. It’s been great for early and mid season hunting, and I haven’t had a chance to test it in late-season conditions yet. It’s comfortable and seems very durable based on the amount of use I’ve gotten out of it so far. I’m built pretty solid, and the 2XL fits me really well. It gives me a good balance between a loose and athletic fit."

— Ryder M. (5/5)

Gila hoodie

"I live in Alice Springs Australia, it gets hot here and dry, even in the heat the hoodie keeps me cool, use it from early morning gym to late afternoon sundown, will buy other colours."
