Built for Long Days on the Water
The Avid Kinetic Hooded AVIDry long sleeve lycra is engineered for anglers and water sports enthusiasts who demand both comfort and serious sun protection. Avid's signature AVIDry performance fabric delivers a super-soft hand feel with the technical chops to handle full days of sun, spray, and sweat without slowing you down.
50+ UPF Sun Protection with a Three-Panel Hood
The Kinetic Hoodie's three-panel hood is purpose-built to fit naturally over your head or over a hat, extending the shirt's 50+ UPF rating to cover your neck and ears. With both UVA and UVB blocking, you get dermatologist-level protection from the moment you step on the boat to the moment you step off.
AVIDry Performance Fabric
AVIDry is Avid Gear's ultralight microfiber polyester technology. The fabric wicks moisture away from the skin and evacuates it rapidly, keeping you dry and cool even in high-heat, high-humidity conditions. The weave is engineered for long-term performance, meaning the UPF rating, the hand feel, and the moisture management hold up wash after wash.
Stain Release Engineering
Fish oil, sunscreen, and bait are unavoidable. The Kinetic Hoodie's stain release finish is built into the fabric so spills and grime rinse out without soaking in, keeping the shirt looking clean and performing at full capacity throughout the season.
Sustainable Construction
The shirt is made from 100% RPET, meaning every yard of fabric is spun from recycled plastic bottles. You get performance-grade polyester properties with a significantly reduced environmental footprint. Avid made this shirt by fishermen for fishermen, and that ethos extends to keeping the water healthy.
Care and Use
Machine wash cold with like colors. Tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not bleach. Do not iron. The stain release and moisture management are durable wash-to-wash properties that require no special treatment beyond standard cool-water care.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does UPF 50+ mean on a sun shirt?
- UPF 50+ means the fabric blocks more than 98% of the sun's ultraviolet radiation, including both UVA and UVB rays. The Avid Kinetic Hooded AVIDry carries this rating across the entire garment, including the three-panel hood.
- Is the AVIDry fabric good for fishing and water sports?
- Yes. AVIDry is an ultralight microfiber polyester that wicks moisture, dries quickly, and resists staining from fish, bait, and sunscreen. It was developed specifically for on-the-water use and is built to maintain those properties over many washes.
- Does the hood fit over a hat?
- Yes. The three-panel hood is designed to fit comfortably over your head or over a hat, giving you additional neck and ear coverage without sacrificing fit or comfort.
- What is the Kinetic Hooded AVIDry made from?
- The shirt is made from 100% RPET polyester, which means the fabric is spun from recycled plastic bottles. It delivers the same performance as virgin polyester including moisture wicking, quick dry, and 50+ UPF while reducing environmental impact.
- How do I wash and care for a UPF 50+ sun shirt?
- Machine wash cold with like colors, tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not bleach and do not iron. The stain release and UPF properties are durable and do not require special detergents or wash cycles.
- How is a sun shirt different from a rash guard or lycra?
- Sun shirts like the Avid Kinetic Hooded AVIDry are made from lightweight woven microfiber polyester optimized for air flow and everyday wear on the water or beach. Rash guards and lycras are typically made from a stretch knit. Sun shirts offer a looser, more breathable fit while still delivering high UPF protection and moisture wicking.

- Yes. The Avid Kinetic Hooded AVIDry LS Lycra is available in store and online at Island Water Sports. Call 954-427-4929 for in-store availability or shop directly on the website.
