I’ll start this off by saying I’m overall stoked to have a Duck Camp bamboo hoodie. I spent an 8 hour day guiding in the heat this past weekend with this product. Here are the pros: The fit is form fitting but not overly tight in feel or look. The material is ultra light and very comfortable to the touch. The cuffs fit well and they don’t slide while making double haul casts all day! Which is a huge plus when fishing for stripers from a boat. I found myself using the chest zipper pocket more than expected and I wasn’t bothered by the zipper at all.
The cons in my opinion are the following: the hood is a smaller than I like on a sun-hoodie, the material shows sweat lines, and in comparison to other technical sun gear I’ve used this one didn’t feel quite as cool. The temperature issue is a common theme I find with bamboo products in really hot weather but personally I think the benefits of bamboo out way some of the discomforts / loss of form fit that comes with traditional synthetic hoodies.
With that being said, I’ll continue to rock this hoodie on the water and I am big fan of Duck Camp. This is an awesome product,
