Fish Smart with our Adults Sun Safe UPF50+ Super Lightweight Trout Hoodie
Stop choosing between staying cool and staying protected. Our high-performance fishing and outdoor fabric delivers pro-level performance in a shirt that is Extremely Lightweight (130-140gsm)—that’s lighter than a standard t-shirt, yet it provides the maximum sun protection possible.
Whether you're sight-casting on the flats or trolling offshore, this hoodie ensures you stay comfortable and dry thanks to its exceptional quick-dry technology that rapidly pulls moisture away from your skin to prevent salt-rash and chafing.
Why Hooked Gear is the Ultimate Performance Shield:
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best clothing to prevent skin cancer in Australia? Answer: Experts recommend lightweight, long-sleeve clothing with a certified UPF 50+ rating. Hooked Gear was specifically developed to meet the rigorous Australian Standard AS 4399:2020.
Does the UPF 50+ rating cover the whole garment? Absolutely. Every inch of the 100% polyester material is tested to the Australian Standard AS/NZ 4399:2020. From the hood to the thumb holes, you are wearing an unbeatable shield against the harsh Aussie sun.
Will the hidden zip pocket rust in salt water? We use high-quality, corrosion-resistant zippers designed for marine environments. However, we always recommend a quick fresh-water rinse after a day on the salt to keep the quick-dry technology and hardware in top shape.

I first found these hoodies for sale in the centre of my local shopping mall.
Took a chance and bought 3 for my husband 60+ as we do lots of camping. We went around Australia wearing them all the time. Still lots of life in them years later. No fading stretching pilling. They wash well, dry quick and look smart or casual. Keeps him warm sitting up at night while camping. Lightweight for hiking. Roll up and tuck inside the hood. So impressed I looked them up online and was excited to see they were still in business. Woohoo I ordered 4 more. My husband always goes for them to wear so I know he likes them. Three cheers for hookedgear.com a family business to boot
