That’s because, well, just like your favorite USA-made shirt or everyday carry essentials, it’s now 25 percent off at Huckberry via the lauded Huckberry Sale section. And the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie is so well-designed, it just might change your mind entirely when it comes to how you layer up in the sun this summer — for days on the water, for beach strolls, for trail hikes and more.

The durable, eco-friendly nature of the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie starts with that performance fabric blend, which just so happens to be a lightweight bamboo viscose blend. That fabric wicks away moisture and offers UPF20+ sun protection.

It also comes complete with a crossover neck for full coverage in the sun, while the streamlined design fits close to your body, yet not so close you can’t wear another layer (say, one of the best merino T-shirts?) beneath it. And what’s even better about the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie is the fact that it packs down easily into a beach bag, tote or one of the best weekender bags when not in use.

Heck, the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie even boasts a left chest pocket for small everyday carry storage. In a range of light, breezy and neutral colors, it’s a prime seasonal layering move that’ll change how you dress for performance and comfort in the heat. And yes, that 25 percent discount won’t last forever, so shop accordingly now, my friends.

Free Fly Apparel review

An affordable and functional henley that looks great with plenty of casual summer style staples.

You won’t often find such a stellar henley for under $50, especially not one that comes in a versatile range of colors, from Black to the Light Heather Grey shown above. And about that innovative fabric blend: Your new favorite henley is made from a stretch-filled, breathable blend of 50 percent viscose from bamboo and 50 percent cotton. Plus, you get UPF 50+ sun protection, which could make this the best henley to wear outdoors this season (just make sure you get sunscreen on those arms).

Better still, consider bringing along your Free Fly Bamboo Hoodie if you’re planning for a long time in the sun. Either way, with the Free Fly Heritage Short-Sleeve Henley, you’re getting a piece you can wear with your favorite shorts and leather boat shoes as easily as it can be paired with the best men’s jeans for spring and the best leather high-top sneakers.

Yes, it’s that versatile and comfortable. Heck, layer it underneath the best men’s bomber jacket when the sun goes down, too. The bottom line is that no matter how you choose to wear the Free Fly Heritage Short-Sleeve Henley, it’s going to prove breathable, moisture-wicking, supremely comfortable and… supremely stylish. Start shopping ASAP.
