Reel Skipper Classic Performance Hood
The Classic Performance Hood takes Reel Skipper's Classic Performance collection and adds a hood plus thumb holes, giving you a sun shirt that layers as easily as it protects. It is built to save you from the sun on the water and double as your go-to layer once the temperature drops.
What It Is Made Of
This top is cut from a luxe micro fiber fabric blended at 82% nylon and 18% spandex, giving it a soft hand feel with stretch. It carries UPF +50 solar protection along with moisture wicking technology and an anti-microbial treatment, and the hood pairs with built-in thumb holes to keep your hands covered without bunching the sleeves.
Who It Is Built For
Reel Skipper was created specifically because women in the fishing and water sports world needed gear tailored to them, and that is exactly who this hood is for. Whether you are cruising on a boat, paddling a board, fishing, or just spending a long day outdoors in South Florida sun, this is a top designed for that exact use case.
How to Wear and Care for It
Slide the thumb holes over your hands to anchor the sleeves in place before pulling the hood up for extra coverage on your neck and head. Because the fabric is moisture wicking and anti-microbial, it is built to be worn hard on the water and rinsed clean afterward rather than treated like a fragile piece, though as with any technical fabric you should follow the garment's own care instructions to protect the UPF finish over time.
About Reel Skipper
Reel Skipper was born out of frustration with how few water performance products were tailored to women in the fishing world. Since then the brand has grown to cover a full range of water performance activities, built around the idea of enjoying life outdoors, whether that means casting lines off a paddle board or cruising on a boat.
