The Florence Sun Pro Adapt Hooded Shirt is the ultimate technical solution for prolonged exposure to intense UV and heat. Designed for "all-day" sessions on the water or in the field, this garment replaces the traditional hooded rash guard with a more versatile, high-airflow design that adapts to varying activity levels.
Key Technical Features
-
UPF 50+ Sun Protection: Engineered with a specialized knit that blocks 98% of harmful UVA and UVB rays. This provides a physical barrier that remains effective even when the fabric is saturated with water or sweat.
-
Breathable Stretch Fabric: Constructed from a lightweight, moisture-wicking blend that moves heat away from the body. The multi-directional stretch ensures the shirt doesn't restrict movement during paddling, casting, or climbing.
-
Integrated Sun Hood & Mask: Features a multi-functional hood designed to fit comfortably over or under a hat. The high-neck design provides critical coverage for the ears and neck, often the most vulnerable areas during long days on the water.
-
Engineered Thumb Loops: Low-profile loops at the cuffs keep the sleeves securely in place, extending sun protection to the backs of the hands and preventing the sleeves from riding up during active use.
-
Flatlock Stitching: All seams are low-profile and flat-stitched to prevent chafing against the skin, especially important when the garment is wet and in constant motion.
