Skien Valley Hooded Long-Sleeve Shirt - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This shirt is a lifesaver on hot, buggy hikes. The built-in Insect Shield actually works—I didn’t have to douse myself in repellent—and the mesh vents kept me cool in full sun. The hood and integrated face mask are perfect for brushy sections and intense sun exposure. I wear it anytime I’m going deep into the backcountry."

Long days on the trail demand more than just coverage—they demand total protection. The Columbia Skien Valley Hooded Long Sleeve Shirt answers that call with a thoughtful mix of technologies designed for serious time outdoors. From full sun to mosquito-filled forests, this shirt keeps us cool, dry, and shielded from the elements with Omni-Shade™ Broad Spectrum UPF 50, sweat-wicking Omni-Wick™, and long-lasting Insect Shield® built right in.

We count on the breathable mesh venting to dump heat fast, even with a pack on, while the drawcord hood and integrated mesh face mask give us extra coverage when conditions get harsh. The two-way zipper, hand and chest pockets, and elastic cuffs add function to every detail, all wrapped in recycled materials that feel just right. It’s our go-to for multi-day treks, shoulder-season hikes, and anywhere bugs and sun collide.
