Columbia Tidal Deflector Hooded Shirt - Women's Cirrus Grey, M

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I grabbed this for a fishing trip that had us on the water for long stretches in full sun, and the combination of Omni-Shade deflection and Omni-Freeze cooling made a noticeable difference — the reflective dots kept the fabric from absorbing heat, and the sweat-activated rings kicked in right when I needed them most. The crossover hood and thumbhole cuffs covered every angle the sun could find, and the sunglass cleaning patch is one of those small touches that earns its keep all day.""Long days on the water mean long hours under the sun, and the Columbia Tidal Deflector Hooded Shirt is designed to make every one of those hours more comfortable. Whether we're working a stretch of river, waiting for the bite to turn on, or putting in miles between spots, this shirt keeps us protected, cool, and focused on the fishing rather than the conditions. Columbia stacked three performance systems into the Tidal Deflector to address the full picture of sun and heat management. Omni-Shade™ Sun Deflector UPF 50+ uses reflective dots woven into the fabric to deflect sunlight rather than simply absorbing it, keeping surface temperature lower and protecting skin from harmful UV rays. Omni-Freeze™ Zero activates on contact with sweat, releasing a cooling sensation through blue rings that absorb moisture and accelerate evaporation for sustained relief during high-exertion moments. Omni-Wick™ pulls moisture away from the skin to the fabric surface for fast drying between efforts. Underarm venting adds passive airflow when the day heats up, and a crossover hood extends coverage to the neck where sun exposure adds up fastest on open water. Thumbhole cuffs pull down over the hands for full-arm protection, and a built-in sunglass cleaning patch keeps lenses clear through long days of spray and sweat."
