Wore this during a long morning on the flats. The ventilation keeps my neck cool even in direct sun. The ponytail slot is handy when I’m tying knots. Lightweight and doesn’t restrict movement. Great for fishing in hot weather.
Tracey Paterson –
Fits well over my cap and covers my neck and face properly. The front vent helps with airflow. A bit snug at first, but adjusts quickly. Sun protection is solid, no overheating during a full day on the water.
Alan Gill –
Perfect for sunny days on the water. The cooling technology works well, and I didn’t feel any heat buildup. Easy to put on and take off. Dries fast after getting wet from rain or spray.
