Simms Latitude Hoodie - Men's Baltic Amber, L

What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I fished a full August day in this hoodie with zero cloud cover and came off the water feeling better than I had any right to. The passive venting front and back works in combination with the knit underarms to create real airflow, and the stowable gaiter gave me complete face coverage during the worst of the midday sun without making me feel suffocated."There is a version of a hot fishing day that beats you down by noon and a version where you barely notice the temperature. The Simms Latitude Hoodie is squarely responsible for the second one, combining woven nylon durability with strategic knit panels and a ventilation system that keeps air moving even when there is no breeze coming off the water to help out. Passive vents positioned front and back work continuously to pull heat away from the body, while knit fabric at the underarms and gaiter adds breathability exactly where exertion generates the most warmth. Sun coverage is total and thoughtfully engineered. The hood protects the head and neck and includes a rear vent to prevent heat buildup during long stretches of direct exposure, while scalloped cuffs extend protection to the back of the hand without restricting the wrist movement casting demands all day. A stowable built-in gaiter deploys when the sun gets serious and tucks away cleanly when it does not, keeping the option available without adding bulk to the silhouette. HeiQ Fresh and HeiQ Stain Away treatments handle odor and staining across a full season of hard use, and UPF 50+ coverage across the entire garment means the only thing worth tracking out there is what is happening below the surface.
