These are the most amazing shirts! Each of our Future Legends (kids) received one for outWalleye Classic tournament. They put them on Friday night and were still wearing them on Sunday. Maybe they slept in them, too? Haha!
I seriously like these shirts. I have 6 now and they are the first shirt I grab for my adventures. I like em so much I bought my bride several as well. They are comfortable even standing on the deck in 104 degree southern sunshine!
10 of 10!!! Extremely durable, comfortable, 100 percent sun burn protection.
Amazing product

Tournament Jersey do yall offer that service ?

Having had stage 4 melanoma I take all the protection I can get. This hoodie does it for me and I can still fish for hours in the sun and feel good about it.
Excellent for performance and value
been using Windfinder shirts for several years, Helios and men’s hoodies. Buy a lot and use them for gifts for friends so they know that you’re thinking of their safety too.
I use Helios for pickle ball and bought every available color. Use hoodies for work as a guide for flyfishing on the flats for bonefish
Fit was great, easy to order. I have several of these already, just expanding my collection!
My experience with WindRider has been exceptional. The clothing size has been true to fitting size. The customer care has been a great experience. Definitely will buy from this great company again.
Easy to order, sizes are true, fast shipping, and super comfortable! quality is top notch! Definitely will order more! I’m wearing it as I type this!!
It’s my third one. Won’t be my last. Nuff said.
Helios shirts are greatin hot weather. I like the hoodies and attached face covering. Great materials for hot kayak fishing. Only thing missing is a tie-down for when the hoodie is on to keep the wind from blowing it off the head and/or hat.
Very good fishing protection…. just finished 4 days of cutthroat fishing and it performed well
The most comfortable fishing shirts I own. Breathable, dry fast and great feeling shirts.
Good feel,good for and excellent protection
The shirt is extremely comfortable and dries fast after a long day of Wade fishing. The only real issue that I had was the neck gaitor was a little bit wider than I expected on one of the two shirts I purchased. Other than that one minor issue I love the shirts and plan to purchase more.
Very very nice! Super comfortable and very nice in the sun and cool mornings. Only critique would be yo add a little more breathablilty in the face guard and this shirt would be 10 of 10. Nice length for tall guys too!
Fished with my Helios hooded fishing shirt with gaiter this past weekend. It is comfortable, great looking wear, and kept me dry all day. My wife loved it so much, she is ordering one as well.
Kept me cool in the hot sun.
Loved it
