Product information "SKWALA Sol Defense Hoody UPF 50+ Slate"

The Sol Defense Hoody is a high-performance long-sleeve shirt with excellent UV protection and integrated insect repellent, designed for use in warm weather and demanding outdoor environments.

This hoody is made from a breathable, stretchy knit polyester fabric and offers a UV protection factor of 50+. The fibers are permanently treated with permethrin – a proven insect repellent that remains effective for up to 40 washes, providing reliable protection against mosquitoes, flies, and other biting insects. The close-fitting scuba-style hood offers effective coverage for the head and neck area, while hidden thumb loops ensure sleeves stay securely in place during movement. A side "dump pocket" provides practical storage for small essentials.

The Sol Defense Hoody is the ideal choice for anglers and outdoor enthusiasts exploring hot, humid, or bug-heavy environments who demand comfort and maximum protection.
