Columbia Terminal Deflector Hoodie

The Columbia Terminal Deflector’s Omni-Shade titanium dioxide dots reflect the sun’s rays.

The Columbia Terminal Deflector Hoodie is a lightweight, technical shirt with a lot of user-friendly features.

Sweat-activated Omni-Freeze ZERO enhances cooling, while Omni-Wick pulls perspiration through the fabric.

The hood offers additional shielding, which benefits your sight-fishing efforts by blocking peripheral glare. Available in cool grey, black, green mamba, riptide and vivid blue. $75

Soft Science Shoes FIN H2O

Soft Science Shoes FIN H2O

The SoftScience Fin H20 combines durability with innovative design.

Super light comfort meets impact resistant support thanks to Soft Science’s proprietary closed-cell copolymer known as Trileon, which the FIN H2O‘s durable outsole and removable insole are made of. Soft Science adds a woven, breathable reinforced microfiber upper and finishes with neoprene collar for a secure fit. The design is based on Soft Science’s Levelast Universal Comfort Platform (UCP), which uses the biomechanics of foot position for proper body alignment. This results in evenly distributed body weight and reduced pressure points. The FIN H2 features a quick-draining forefoot water flow system and a slip resistant non-marking outsole. Kayakers will particularly appreciate the lace-free design, which eliminates possible snag points. $89.99
