Built for the Water, Ready for the Sun
The Avid Pacifico Performance Hoodie is a men's sun shirt engineered for active time outdoors. The pullover hoodie silhouette adds built-in head and neck coverage without adding bulk, making it a go-to layer for fishing, paddling, or any day spent on the water.
AVIDry Performance Fabric
The Pacifico is built with Avid Gear's AVIDry performance fabric, a 89% polyester, 11% spandex blend that does real work. The polyester construction blocks UV rays and wicks sweat away from the skin fast, while the spandex content delivers 4-way stretch so the shirt moves with you in every direction. The result is a fabric that breathes, protects, and keeps pace with an athletic lifestyle without clinging or restricting movement.
Features That Matter on the Water
- Sun Protection: Long sleeves and a built-in hood extend coverage to the arms, shoulders, and neck where direct sun exposure is highest during outdoor activities.
- Moisture Wicking: AVIDry fabric pulls sweat away from the skin and releases it quickly, so you stay dry and comfortable through active wear use.
- 4-Way Stretch: The spandex-blended construction stretches in all directions, giving full range of motion for casting, paddling, or any overhead movement.
- Quick-Drying DWR Finish: A Durable Water Repellent finish helps water bead off the surface, accelerating dry time after spray, splash, or sweat.
- Athletic Trim Cut: Fit is athletic without being restrictive. The Pacifico sits between a boxy tee and a compression fit, offering a clean silhouette that works on and off the water.
- Lightweight and Breathable: The fabric weight keeps the shirt cool in warm conditions, with a super-soft hand feel that wears comfortably all day.
- Easy Care: Machine washable and wrinkle resistant, so it packs well for travel and cleans up with no fuss.
Construction Details
The pullover design has no zipper or buttons to snag gear or lines. The hood lies flat when not in use and provides meaningful coverage when conditions call for it. The Avid Gear logo is displayed as a small woven patch at the left chest, keeping the overall look clean and understated.
Who It Is For
The Pacifico Performance Hoodie is built for anglers, paddlers, and outdoor enthusiasts who want real sun protection without the weight or stiffness of a traditional rash guard. It performs well as a standalone layer in warm weather or as a base layer under a shell when conditions turn. Available in store and online at Island Water Sports.
