HUK Icon X Refraction Fade Performance Shirt

The Huk ICON X Refraction Camo Fade Shirt, featuring our new exclusive camo pattern, is the most technically advanced performance fishing shirt designed for hardcore anglers.

Comprised of Double Pony Polyester, this synthetic material spreads moisture over a larger surface area creating a rapid drying effect that cools the body after coming into contact with perspiration.

The synthetic fibers allow air to pass through the shirt and contain a hydrophobic coating that transports sweat to drier areas, away from the skin.
