Our take

The hooded version of the Aquatek is the one you will choose for the longest days, when the sun beats down relentlessly. The hood covers the neck and the head, two areas often forgotten yet highly exposed on the water. The same ultra-soft comfort as the classic Aquatek, with protection that goes up a notch.

The hood that changes everything on exposed areas

On the water, glare hits the neck, ears and scalp far more than you would think. The Aquatek Hooded hood adds a layer of UPF 50+ protection precisely over these areas, without hindering vision or head movement. The ultra-soft nylon fabric stays pleasant to wear with the hood up for hours, and its quick dry avoids the feeling of dampness after a shower or spray. It is the option to favour for exotic fishing and full summer days when exposure is at its highest, to pair with a cap or hat as you prefer.

The technical comfort of the Aquatek range

Beyond the hood, this shirt keeps the range’s DNA: a 4-way stretch that follows the casting and fighting motion. The ventilation zones maintain a constant airflow to regulate temperature during effort. The water and stain repellent treatment protects against water splashes and dirt onboard. You will find the same manufacturing care in the long-sleeve UV shirts of the rest of the collection.
