Some fishing trips call for a paddling partner. The Paddle Bears Performance Hoodie features our take on the classic Grateful Dead dancing bears, paddling a canoe down a mountain river while one casts a line, a psychedelic sunburst sky and mushroom-lined banks framing the scene. It's a colorful tribute to the simple joy of fishing from the water instead of the shore.
Officially licensed Grateful Dead gear, granted the Seal of Recommendation by the Skin Cancer Foundation, and made for anglers who like to fish from a canoe as much as a boat. This lightweight performance hoodie delivers UPF 50+ sun protection and moisture-wicking, quick-dry comfort — built for canoe fishing, river days, and everything in between.
