Reviews

Perfect

"I’m a fly fishing guide through the summer and it can be in the 100 degree range and this layer keeps the sun off and me cooler. Holds up to all the rowing the raft and drys super quick. It’s a great layer and one I wear every day on the river. I’m 6’1” and 195 pounds and it’s fits great"

Nice shirt

"Big fan of the shirt! Comfortable in the heat. I didn’t want it to look painted on so I got a size up and it’s a little big so that’s my bad. Though the forearms are a little tight. My only issue is after 2 hikes and 2 washes some of the stitches are coming out in one of the arms. Which is a bummer. Still a big fan just must have popped a stitch somewhere or it came like that who knows."

— Clinton M. (4/5)

Great Fishing Shirts

"Great quality hoodie. Fit is spot on, and material wears extremely well even through repeated creekside bushwhackings. I use these for fly fishing in the eastern US, so it would be great to see them in the new Veros pattern for sure."

— Glenn G. (5/5)

Great sun hoody

"Typical Kuiu quality. Light. Seams are flat and feel great. Looks designed to last for a long time. Will report back after use but expect the same great quality from other Kuiu gear I have such as the Merino 120 hoodie and the Peleton 240 full zip."

— Jeff K. (5/5)

The BEST most breathable sun hoodie out there

"I’m a heavy sweater and run very warm. Typically I find anything long sleeved to be too uncomfortable in the heat. This shirt is magic. It BREATHES unlike anything else I’ve tried and once it’s wet it’s actively cool to the touch even in scorching heat. In my case it’s quickly sweat soaked, but for a light sweater in extreme heat I’d even consider dampening it a bit to get the full cooling effect"

— Skylar P. (5/5)

Comfortable

"I wore it three days in a row scouting in temperatures over 100, and it was comfortable the whole time. I laid prone on some rough ground, and it held up fine. The hood flops down when I bend over, which I don’t know how you’d avoid with material this light. Overall I like it so far."

Gila LS Hoodie

"I have worn this top hunting in below freezing temperatures on a couple of muzzleloader elk hunts last winter with great results. Very comfortable under insulation layers. However, when it really shines is in hot weather. Wore this in New Zealand for Red Stag in early March and it was pretty hot. This garment solo with the hood up was just the cats meow! It has also been great fly fishing in the sun this summer. Wear with a ball cap under the oversized hood and it keeps the sun off my cancer laden ears and face and keeps the temperature mild. Great shirt! Fits true to size. Don't size up."

— Bret R. (5/5)

Great product

"Wore this all weekend for the opening and loved it! Kept me cool and protected all day in and out of the sun. It fit really well, one of few things i have put on and felt like it immediately fit me."

— Gus D. (5/5)

Severe Hot Temperatures

"Order two of these Gila series shirts as I train on the range doing handgun drills & qualifications in extreme heat. Theye protected me & kept the heat exhaustion to bearable. Beats tee shirt with a ball cap any day. Wore my ball cap & put the hood over it. Made a huge difference to the exposure & comfort."

— Mark L. (5/5)

Synthetic Sun Hoodie

"This is the first product I have purchased from Kuiu. Stopped in to their Dixon, CA store while driving by, and having heard of their products, went ahead and bought this sun hoodie. About the shirt, I like the quality and craftsmanship. The only downside is the retention of odor on the fabric due to it being synthetic. I will definitely stay with the wool fabric next time. I purchased the Medium, and the fit was great for me who is 6' tall and a buck 70 lbs. Overall I liked the Kuiu products, and look forward to trying out more options in the future."
