Hooded Performance Shirts

Hooded performance fishing shirts: Pelagic's go-to for maximum sun coverage on the water. Integrated hood + UPF 50+ fabric + built-in face-mask sleeve means full neck, ears, and lower-face protection without needing a separate gaiter.

The Exo-Tech, Vaportek, and Freespool hooded ranges are engineered for long offshore days on South Africa's warm-water charter coastlines: Cape Town pelagic runs, Sodwana sailfish, KZN tuna.
