The Hydro Tec Performance Hat is built for unpredictable weather, long days on the water, and everything in between. Constructed from lightweight water-resistant performance fabric, it sheds water on contact so rain and spray bead up and roll right off instead of soaking into the hat.
Lightweight, moisture-wicking, and built with UPF 30 sun protection, Hydro Tec keeps you dry, comfortable, and protected whether you're fishing, boating, traveling, or caught in an unexpected downpour.
From the first cast to the last stop of the day, Hydro Tec is designed to perform when the weather doesn't cooperate.
It is the softest shirt I own! I love this shirt. Highly recommend. Wifey loves when I wear it!.

I love the fit and comfort. Its a great lightweight shirt for those times when long paddles call for sun coverup and comfort.

This is the latest Seatec Sport Tec of about 40 that my husband and I own. The softest fabric. The best fit. The hood stays on great. The best designs. Washes up beautifully. If you like bright colors, the Bird of Paradise is for you!

Seatec Gear in Action
Real customers wearing Seatec performance apparel—built for sun protection, comfort, and all-day wear.
I got matching hoodies for my son & I. (And yes, I got a men's size Small which fits me well being 5'5-6" & 113lb.) They feel amazing... I typically feel stuffy in polyester, but zero complaints here. Lightweight, airy. Feels like you're not wearing anything! Colors & patterns exactly as shown. No fabrique snagging yet.
The sunglasses are hands down the lightest and most comfortable I’ve ever owned. Hours of fishing time on the boat with no pain on my ears and bridge of my nose. Seatec knocked it out of the park with these! 100/10!!!
Love the way it looks, feels, stretches, cools, dries, etc. It performs as advertised. Wore fishing at the lake, at sea, and wore on hikes. Buying more!
Color is incredible! It is so soft and comfortable as well. I absolutely love the fit and the look. The fabric is a little thicker than what I typically get in a rashguard but it did not hinder performance in any way. Great rashguard!
Wearing my Seatech top on day 7 of Ragbrai LIII. Started the ride in Dyersville in a mist that turned to light rain. Finished in Dubuque to sunny skies and humid air. My Seatech shirt performed as advertised. Kept me dry and comfortable on the 33 mile ride.
Love the fit and comfort of this shirt! My husband and I purchased the salmon design to wear fishing for silver salmon in King Salmon, AK!
I previously purchased a top from the company that had slight peeling on the sleeve after a few wears. Once the customer service team read the review, they offered to replace it free of charge. The peeling was minimal, and I chose to keep the top. However, their level of customer service is exceptional and is a huge reason I will continue to support this business!
Very light weight. It worked great for walking around Yellowstone kept me cool on the boardwalks and hikes, and something nice and very light when the weather changed and needed a rain jacket. I’ll definitely be buying more. However my only complaint is the coloring is obviously printed on one side. Would look better if it was a through and through, especially for the price.
Love this company and their high quality shirts. I live in Florida. Today’s temp (8/17/26) was 95 degrees. Perfect shirt for hot weather, high humidity, and many social events. Yes, I am a repeat purchaser.
This is my third shirt from seatec and I love it. It’s probably my favorite fishing shirt. It feels great and it looks awesome. Can’t wait to buy a few more.
These feel amazingly soft for being performance wear; they do seem to run a bit small, not enough to go a size up but they are just ever so slightly smaller than I would like.
These are great, lightweight and comfortable. My husband and BIL both love them. I'd say they fit pretty true to standard sizes. If I had gone by the chart, my husband would've been a small, but a medium fits him perfectly (5'-10", 165 lbs), and the large fit my BIL very well (5'-10", 185 lbs).
Fabric was a bit more brushed than I expected, but looked cool! He liked it so my hope is that it stays nice in the wash, both color and texture :) thanks again!
