Simms BugStopper Hoody Sandbar Heather
Simms BugStopper Hoody Sandbar Heather is designed for anglers who spend long days on the water and need dependable protection from both the sun and biting insects. Combining lightweight technical fabric, Insect Shield® technology and fast-drying COR3™ performance, this premium fishing hoodie delivers exceptional comfort throughout long summer fishing trips and outdoor adventures.
Made from 100% polyester treated with Insect Shield®, the lightweight technical fabric efficiently wicks moisture away from the skin, dries quickly and provides outstanding breathability in warm conditions. Integrated COR3™ technology helps control odours while keeping you dry and comfortable throughout the day, even during the most demanding fishing sessions.
The built-in Insect Shield® treatment provides long-lasting protection against mosquitoes, ticks, chiggers and other biting insects without the need to apply insect repellent directly to your skin. At the same time, the fabric offers UPF 30+ sun protection to help shield you from harmful UV rays during long days outdoors.
An articulated hood provides additional protection for your head and neck, while the specially designed sleeves and shoulders allow a full range of motion for natural casting. Flatlock seams minimize friction and maximize comfort during all-day wear. The hoodie features US sizing (American Fit), providing the relaxed fit that Simms apparel is known for.

- fly fishing;
- boat fishing;
