Trident Gear Quick Picks
Best All-Around: Trident Fly Fishing T-Shirt - For everyday wear that still feels at home at the boat ramp or the fly shop. It’s a simple logo tee that’s easy to layer under a flannel, hoodie, or rain shell.
Best for Sun: Trident Bamboo Fly Fishing Sun Hoodie - For long, exposed days wading or rowing when you want coverage without overheating. The bamboo-blend, quick-dry build is designed around comfort, breathability, and UPF-rated protection.
Best for Hot Weather: Atlas Bamboo Fly Fishing Sun Hoodie - For travel and summer fishing when you want a lightweight hooded layer that doesn’t feel heavy or sticky. It’s made with a bamboo blend aimed at quick drying, odor resistance, and easy all-day wear.
Best Value: Trident Fly Fishing Sticker - For a small add-on or gift that still feels personal for anglers. It’s an easy way to tag a cooler, boat box, rod tube, or gear case without overthinking it.
Best for On-the-Water: Trident Fly Fishing Performance Hat - For anglers who want a hat that leans more “fishing day” than “coffee run.” It’s a practical grab-and-go option when you’re dealing with sun, sweat, and long hours outside.
How to Choose Trident Gear
Hats: pick the fit and brim style you actually wear
Action: Start with your preferred crown style (dad hat vs trucker vs flat brim), then think about breathability and sun coverage. If you’re on open water or the flats a lot, consider a more sun-focused, technical hat; if it’s mostly river days and travel, a classic cap is usually the most-used.
Avoid if: You hate adjusting hats all day, choose the closure and crown shape you already know fits your head well.
Sun hoodies: your “all-day layer” for summer fishing
Best for: Warm-weather wading, rowing, and travel when you want sun protection with less sunscreen drama. Look for quick-dry and breathable fabrics, and make sure the hood sits comfortably under a hat without feeling bulky.
Action: If you run hot, size for airflow (not skin-tight). If you’re using it for boats and travel, prioritize comfort against the skin and easy packability.
T-shirts & beanies: easy staples that get used
Best for: Post-fishing, travel days, and casual wear. Tees are the simplest “one-and-done” layer, while a beanie is a small piece that makes a big difference for early mornings and shoulder seasons.
Why Trident Carries Trident Gear
Trident Gear is the shop’s own lineup of apparel and small accessories built around everyday comfort and easy-to-wear designs. It’s made for anglers who want low-fuss pieces that work for fishing, travel, and daily life.
Care & Maintenance
Sun hoodies & tees: Wash cold and tumble dry low (or hang dry) to help fabrics keep their feel and shape.
Logo prints & patches: Turn garments inside out before washing to reduce abrasion over time.
Hats: Spot clean when possible; if a hat gets salty or sweaty, rinse and air dry (avoid high heat that can warp brims).
Stickers: Clean and dry the surface before applying for better adhesion on coolers, boats, and cases.

Trident Gear FAQs
Q: What is Trident Gear?
A: Trident Gear is Trident Fly Fishing’s in-house collection of apparel and small accessories. The lineup focuses on hats, tees, sun hoodies, and stickers designed for everyday use on and off the water.
Q: Is Trident Gear good for beginners?
A: Yes, especially the hats, tees, and stickers, since there’s no technical “fit” learning curve. If you’re new and fish in sun a lot, a sun hoodie is also an easy upgrade for comfort and coverage.
Q: Which Trident sun hoodie should I choose?
A: Choose based on when you’ll wear it most: hot-weather fishing, travel, or everyday layering. Look at fabric feel, breathability, and sizing so it’s comfortable under a hat and while casting.
Q: What should I look for in a fly fishing hat?
A: Prioritize fit first (crown shape and closure), then ventilation and brim style for your conditions. If you fish bright, open water often, lean toward more sun- and sweat-friendly materials.
Q: Are stickers actually useful for fly fishing gear?
A: They’re mostly for personalization, but they’re also an easy way to label coolers, cases, and storage boxes. Just apply to a clean, dry surface so edges don’t lift.
Q: Do sun hoodies replace sunscreen?
A: They help reduce how much skin is exposed, but you’ll still want sunscreen on uncovered areas (hands, face, neck, and ears depending on your hat). The big benefit is staying covered without feeling wrapped up.
Q: How should fly fishing apparel fit for layering?
A: For sun hoodies, most anglers prefer a little room for airflow and easy movement while casting. For tees, pick a fit that’s comfortable under midlayers and rain shells without bunching.
Q: Does Trident Gear have a warranty?
A: This collection includes apparel and accessories, and warranty terms can vary by item. For the most accurate, current guidance, check the individual product page and Trident’s returns information before purchasing.
