WHAT IS IT?
Huk Breakwater Series
WHAT SETS IT APART?
Huk has a reputation for environmental sustainability, and that eco-friendly principle shines through the Breakwater collection, which includes short-sleeve and long-sleeve shirts, hoodies and bottoms. These garments are made with a revolutionary fabric solution called Filium, which promotes efficiency and sustainability. In Huk’s explanation, Filium contrasts traditional fabric treatments by providing highly efficient and durable performance with low application amounts. This maintains the fabric’s breathability, feel and overall appearance — but with fewer chemicals.
HOW DO I USE IT?
Creating clothing items that remain comfortable, functional and durable over time, even with frequent use and washing, Huk made the Breakwater Collection with UPF 50+ protection to defend against harmful UV rays during long days on the water. Users can count on all-day breathability and thermoregulation properties that ensure coolness in warm weather and warmth in cooler conditions. Also, Huk included liquid and bacteria-repellent properties to keep each garment fresh between wears and reduce odor.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
Huk’s new Breakwater collection embodies the principle of less is more. Lots of outdoor clothing boasts many of the common features promoting comfort, sun protection and stain resistance, but developing a process that dials back on the chemicals without sacrificing performance is impressive and admirable. As Huk states, the Breakwater items represent a significant step forward in sustainable fishing gear, introducing a variety of products designed with environmental consciousness at their core.
