Patented Air/X™

A Climate Control System
Cleverly Disguised as a Shirt

It is virtually impossible to obtain a Patent for a shirt. After all, isn’t a shirt just a shirt ? Introducing Hook & Tackle®’s U.S. Patent # 5727256 for Sunlight Protecting Garments having Convective Ventilation or better known as the AIR/X™ Shirt.

The Problem.
The problem with conventional fishing shirts is that they are designed for air to enter the garment but not to exit.

The Solution.
Patented AIR/X™ Ventilation System

By simply opening the zipper vents below the arms and two zipper vents across the shoulders, you allow cool air to enter the shirt. Once inside, the cool air mixes with your body heat and becomes hot. Next, the "Convective Currents" principle goes to work and hot air explodes out through the shoulder vents. No more trapped hot air as in conventional fishing shirts. The AIR/X™ also features multiple storage pockets with mesh drainage and is lined with moisture-wicking mesh, which keeps you cool and dry, roll-up collar for maximum sun protection and roll-up sleeves with a tab. A lot of technology is crammed in here just to make you more comfortable.
