Lightweight & breathable in the heat + excellent sun protection. My husband and I live in CO and the sun is intense here. We wear these with a sun hat plus some natural sunscreen.

You've probably heard rumors of how great sun hoodies are. They're lightweight, breathable, offer sun protection, etc etc. Well this lives up to the hype and isn't quite as expensive as Black Diamond. I've worn this on several hikes/backpacking, fly fishing, and climbing trips and would recommend!

I've been wanting a sun shirt for a long time now after a couple of one too many brutal sunburns on long trail days. Although not the most flattering color (green) and cut, I haven't been sunburned, and it is comfortable AF. Full disclosure, I was given this product by Backcountry but this is my honest opinion - I'm straight up here to make the outdoors industry more inclusive and comfortable for those of us that don't fit there stereotypical outdoor body type. I use this shirt not only while I'm hiking, but also while I'm ski touring. It's breathable, comfy, and the hood does a great job of staying up. Considering I'm in Colorado, sometimes this shirt is too hot for hiking, but spring time touring, I couldn't get enough of it. I will note, that this shirt gets real stinky, so I'd like to apologize to all my touring partners for those fragrant car rides home :) All in all, fantastic shirt.

Too Itchy to Keep

I really wanted to like this shirt and was excited to test it out on a hike, but upon trying it on I found the internal seams to be really itchy, especially on my arms. This made me too hesitant to take it out and find myself miserable on a hike with my arms being chaffed, so I decided I was better off returning it. However, it doesn't seem like everyone has had the same issue with the seams, so it may have been something more specific to the manufacturing of the one I received. In any case, I'm bummed it didn't work out.

The idea of having lightweight sun protection was so appealing! Usage: I used this shirt while doing some light hikes in hot (90-100 degree) weather. it is a sun shirt, but it is WARM. I did get some benefits from the moisture-wicking, although I was hot and sweaty, the fabric did keep me fairly dry. I actually ended up using it as a sleep shirt while camping and was plenty warm. Quality: So far, the shirt has held up nicely. I haven't like torn through bushes or anything in it to see if it rips, but I have scooted down some rocks with it over my butt and the fabric held up fine. I've washed it a number of times (always hang drying it) and it's kept it shape and softness. Accuracy: very soft, the thumbholes provide protection for the backs of your hands, and the hoodie is comfortable and doesn't slip around. Sizing & Fit: As a plus size hiker, I cannot recommend purchasing this. First, although the sizing was XXL, this definitely ran small, so it was really close fitting to the point of being too small and riding up whenever I moved. This was really disappointing since I looked at the size chart and fell within the measurement range for this shirt, so to have it be too small, even though it was the largest size was a disappointment.

I Returned This Shirt

- Large

I really wanted to love this shirt! It was cute and the material seemed lightweight and breathable, but I could feel the seems on the arms and they were SO itchy/scratchy. Maybe I have sensitve skin and maybe I should have ordered a size up (small) so that it was looser to help with this issue, but I decided to return it after trying it on for 30 seconds. If the seems are ever improved I would be interested in trying again. I read a couple other reviews that mentioned this issue but thought I would give it a shot anyways. I am disappointed!

Perfect UPF hoodie - I can wear this all day and not get burned and it's light enough that I can wear it hiking and not get overheated. The sleeves are long and have thumb holes so you can also protect the backs of your hands! The hood is nice as well to protect your neck and ears - I wear it up underneath a hat or helmet. I typically wear a size 4-6 and am a 34C and the small fit great. If you want a relaxed fit, size up.

Sun Protection & Bug Buster
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
I was given this product by Backcountry, but this review is my personal opinion. Ok. I know this is a sun hoodie, but the reality is I live in New England and bugs are often a bigger barrier than the sun is when it comes to long days outside. This hoody has become my ultimate layer to throw in my bag for trail runs/hike and climbing days because it plays triple duty. When it's still a bit cool in the mornings or at the summit it's a great, light layer to on its own or under a windbreaker. When the sun is out with a vengeance it is light enough to not feel like a sauna suit but also keeps me protected without pounds of sunscreen. Lastly, when the bugs are out (AKA, it's spring) this the perfect thing to throw on when stopping to rest on a trail run or through the especially swampy areas. I've found if I spray with a bit of picaridin before going out I can throw up the hood I am bug-proof from waist up. Often I'll just run with it still around my neck for quick and easy protection when needed (as pictured). As far as fit- I love this piece. The arms are long enough and the thumb holes are always a win. I really like that there is a bit of extra length in the back and the material is very comfortable. Overall, an awesome piece to have in the arsenal. My only note is that this blend material does retain smell a bit more than something made with wool for example- but it's not horrible :)

I wore this shirt for the first time last weekend while paddle boarding. After a few hours in the sun it felt great to pop this on and not have to worry about getting burnt. The shirt has great stretch and the length is nice so you can move without thinking about wearing it. Definitely recommend for anyone who lives in a place like Utah with relentless sun.

I do field work in AZ (yep, 120 degrees Fahrenheit) and the two hoodies I have are life saving! Would definitely recommend, and can't wait to wear these for fly fishing. They're fitted so if you're wanting something loose, size up. They fit me just right.
