Excellent Hoodie
This hoodie is warm enough on the coldest days but also light enough to wear anytime it’s cool as well. Great purchase.

Not What I Expected
I have numerous SIMMs tops in XL but both of these are tight across chest and belly. Neck hole is also very tight. Not the best hoody! Tight fit surprised me as other reviews mentioned these ran large!! Not certain I want to keep them.

Challenger Fishing Hoody
★★★★★ Excellent Sun Protection and Comfort for Long Days on the Water
The Simms Challenger Hoody has become one of my favorite pieces of fishing apparel. I've worn it in warm weather, windy conditions, and during all-day sessions on the water, and it performs exceptionally well across the board.
The fabric is lightweight, breathable, and dries quickly, which makes a huge difference when you're covering water or dealing with changing conditions. The hood fits comfortably over a ball cap without restricting movement or peripheral vision, and it provides excellent protection for your neck and ears during long days under the sun.
What really stands out is the comfort. The material feels soft against the skin and doesn't get clammy or heavy when you sweat. The athletic fit allows for unrestricted casting, whether I'm throwing streamers, indicator rigs, or making repetitive casts from a boat or the bank.
The build quality is exactly what I've come to expect from Simms. Stitching, seams, and overall construction are top-notch. After multiple wash cycles, the hoody has maintained its shape and performance with no issues.
If you're looking for a fishing hoody that balances sun protection, comfort, durability, and performance, the Simms Challenger Hoody is an easy recommendation. It's the kind of gear you forget you're wearing, which is about the highest compliment fishing apparel can receive.

Challenger Hoody
The oversize hood itself is far too big for fishing purposes. It should fit snugly and doesn't fit well under a rain jacket hood. It also is tight through the chest.

Comfortable Hoodie
The new Simms hoodie fits great and runs true to size. The generous hand warmer pockets are plus on cold days. Choosing this hoodie to wear over a base layer will keep you warm during your outdoor adventures.

Used This Every Day In
Used this every day in Alaska during September when cold, rainy and windy. Repelled rain mist also until I needed my Simms raincoat. Dry and warm with great hoody to keep out wind.
