The Hunters Element Tradie Summer Long Sleeve Hoodie in Fluro Yellow is a premium, high-performance workwear solution engineered specifically for hard-working tradespeople, forestry workers, and agricultural contractors battling the intense summer sun. Purpose-built to maximise airflow while delivering strict UV coverage, this lightweight technical layer ensures you stay visibly safe, reliably protected from the sun, and completely dry during gruelling days on site.

The core innovation lies in its sustainable engineering: the main chassis is woven from an advanced 145gsm RPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) honeycomb fabric. Made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, each individual garment saves roughly 25 plastic bottles from entering local landfills. This material is deeply infused with natural bamboo charcoal, creating a structurally durable, highly active weave that performs identically to virgin technical textiles while providing permanent, chemical-free benefits.

When exposed to the slightest breeze, the specialised honeycomb texture activates an immediate evaporative cooling effect, pulling sweat rapidly away from your skin to lower your surface body temperature. Furthermore, the natural antimicrobial properties of the embedded bamboo charcoal permanently eliminate bacteria buildup—meaning virtually zero sweat odour, even when worn for consecutive days on remote shifts. Fully compliant with safety regulations, this fluro yellow garment is an indispensable asset for high-heat outdoor labour, including hunting and fishing activities where visibility and sun protection are paramount.

• Bamboo Charcoal Honeycomb Weave: Features an open-cell, micro-honeycomb texture that dramatically accelerates moisture-wicking and rapid drying while providing structural snag resistance.

• Eco-Conscious RPET Fabric: Constructed with 100% recycled plastic bottles, reducing your carbon footprint by repurposing 25 bottles per hoodie with zero compromise on tensile fabric strength.

• Permanent Anti-Odour Control: The microscopic pores of the infused bamboo charcoal permanently trap and neutralise odour-causing bacteria, keeping the top smelling fresh through multi-day wear.

• Instant Wind-Cooled Relief: Specially engineered to maximise convective heat transfer; any passing airflow or breeze instantly chills the moisture trapped in the fibres to provide real cooling relief.

• Integrated Fitted Hood: A low-profile, ergonomic hood that fits comfortably over the crown of the head or directly underneath standard hard hats, safeguarding the neck, ears, and temples from blistering sun damage.

• Class FID Safety Compliance: Fully compliant with the strict New Zealand Forestry Owners’ Association (NZFOA) daytime high-visibility specifications, making it site-approved for commercial operations.

• UPF 30+ Solar Barrier: Provides an integrated ultraviolet protective coating that blocks out the vast majority of harmful UVA and UVB rays, preventing severe sunburn over long exposures.
