Wore this during a hot afternoon on the lake. The fabric is light and breathable, and the insect protection worked well. The cape covers the neck nicely and doesn’t restrict movement. No issues with sweat or heat buildup.

Great for sunny days with lots of bugs. The sun protection is solid and the fit is comfortable. A bit snug at first, but adjusts well. Would recommend for fishing trips in summer.

Fits over my cap perfectly and stays in place. The breathing holes help with airflow, and I didn’t get any bites during a full day of fishing. Very effective and lightweight.
