Summer's coming and I'm looking for a 'performance long sleeve hooded shirt'.
In other words, a long sleeve shirt with hood, that is very lightweight for the summer, highly breathable and wicks away sweat to keep cool, as well as providing sun protection. The wife seems to think I'm looking for a surfer rashguard (not sure if that would do the trick or not) Anyone have any leads?
I found one by Columbia - PFG - that was almost like a dry-fit kind of deal with a hood. It fits well, keeps me comfortable, but limited selections for color and style.
On another note - I'm looking for suggestions on where to get a set of good neoprene booties (soft sole) - suggestions on brand and locations?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but I use a long sleeve Under Armour type shirt and just bought one of the Bare face muffs or whatever they are called. Shirt always on, but the face muff can be arranged in several ways or come off completely, and is also good for fishing in the cold.

Face muff is something altogether different

I've never used their hot weather hoodies but I have a couple long sleeve, hot weather T-shirts from Simms and Patagonia. Both are good but I find the Simms one to be especially lightweight and comfortable. If you look on E-bay, you might find a good deal (closeout or otherwise) on what you're looking for.

Finding more stock on Patagonia on Ebay that i'll be looking into. Thanks!
I have a tonne of face buffs - ordered online from Salt Armour Co. (they flood my Facebook feed and tried them out). They are quite handy to cover the neck, but find them only to be useful when it's cooler out - still feels like I overheat even though they do a good job keeping the sun off my face and neck, but do little to wick away moisture. May have to switch to something looser fitting as these are ninja tight against the face. I will not order from them again, though, as they have recent court cases from Under Armour and Kryptek outdoor equipment, that doesn't paint a pretty picture on them.
Any leads/suggestions for soft neoprene booties with rubber soles? Current ones are needing replacement from wear and tear over the years. Would just be using them for comfort kicking around in the tube.

saw some Simms lightweight hoodies at Cabelas a couple days ago. They had some Cabelas-branded hoodies as well.

I got my neo booties at MEC, but that was a few years ago. I think they call them diving boots there. The one thing I would recommend is take all your gear if you are going to buy them. The thickest stuff you will wear in the coldest weather. I just guessed at my size and they are tight when I have all the cold weather socks on. I wear size 8.5 shoes and got size 11 booties and should have gone bigger.
