OD Tech Hooded T-Shirt: 3-in-1 Protection for Sailing

background

Complete Protection in a Single Layer

How often do you have to choose between protection and freedom of movement? Between layering up and keeping your gear lightweight during a race?

 

The OD Tech Hooded T-Shirt is designed to solve that balance. Built for long hours at sea under intense sun, constant wind and high physical effort, it delivers three levels of protection in a single layer: UV protection, resistance to the elements and thermal comfort—without adding bulk.

3 in 1: Protection Against Sun, Wind and Water

At sea, sunlight is more aggressive due to reflection on the water surface. During a race or training session, it's not something you can afford to think about.

 

The OD Tech Hooded T-Shirt integrates UPF 50+ protection, blocking UV rays. Micro-perforated panels on the sides—where heat and sweat build up—offer UPF 30+ while maintaining breathability.

 

A DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment completes the system, repelling water and wind without adding weight. 

Lightweight, Technical, Quick-Dry: Built for Movement

The 96 gsm Tech Woven Light Stretch fabric is extremely lightweight and dries quickly. If a wave hits you mid-maneuver, the garment recovers fast—you barely notice it. 

 

The fit is regular, but the fabric stretches naturally: nothing pulls, nothing restricts. You can trim, hoist, rig or hike without interference. At the end of the day, it packs down small and resists wrinkling.

A Hood That Changes Everything

The hood is convertible. Wear it as a neck gaiter in windy conditions, or pull it up to protect your head and neck under strong sun. 

 

A smart rear opening allows long hair to pass through comfortably, without pressure. Nothing to add, nothing to remove. One piece of gear that adapts in real time.
