I haven’t had a chance to try the hoodie for its intended purpose-hot weather, as it is winter in the Rockies. However as with all my Duck Camp purchases, the fit and feel of the fabric is wonderful. I am a fly fishing, rafting, camping guide in the Gunnison Gorge with an affinity for snap shirts that have pockets. As soon as I saw the design of this shirt, I saw great potential for sun protection and utility beyond the stereotypical guide hoodie. I’m looking forward to discovering the cooling effects of the fabric during one of our 100+ degree days! I’ll let you know how it works! Thanks!
