The OCEANWT Hoodie is an incredibly versatile garment. It will keep you comfortable in the sun as well as warm and dry when things get cool. OCEANWT styles use double weave polyester and textured stretch nylon that work in tandem to adapt to changing conditions while providing broad spectrum UV ray sun protection.

I own many other brands (Orvis, Simms, Free Fly, etc). This hoodie comes in nice color options and fit is good. The material is a bit unforgiving if you come into contact with branches near shore or along a stream. I'd like a sleeve design with a thumb loop in order to protect more of hands from sun when not wearing gloves.
The OCEANwt Hoodie is the first shirt I find when packing for a new fly fishing trip. I've found it comfortable in a wide range of conditions, from very hot and humid to cool. For added warmth it's also easy to wear a SUNwt Shirt underneath it. I'm usually kayak fly fishing and it wears well under a PFD. The hood has great coverage and is easy to pull on over a hat. I also like it combined with a head net for bug protection when you're really out in the Congo.
