Freewheel 1/2-Zip Hoodie - Women's

A bluesign® APPROVED product means that the materials used are produced in an environmentally friendly way, ensuring safety for both workers and the environment. This certification guarantees that harmful substances are minimized during manufacturing, making it a responsible choice for eco-conscious consumers.

UPF 50+ indicates that the fabric blocks 98% of harmful UV rays from the sun, providing excellent protection for your skin during outdoor activities. This is especially important for long days spent outside, as it helps reduce the risk of sunburn and skin damage.

Articulated cuffs are designed to fit the natural position of your arms, allowing for better movement and flexibility. This feature is particularly beneficial for activities like biking or climbing, where unrestricted arm movement is essential for comfort and performance.

A drop-tail hem is a design where the back of the garment is longer than the front. This feature provides extra coverage, especially when bending forward, ensuring that your lower back stays covered during activities like cycling. It helps prevent the shirt from riding up, enhancing overall comfort.

Movement-mirroring stretch refers to a type of fabric that stretches in a way that mimics your body's movements. This allows for greater freedom and comfort during physical activities, making it easier to perform actions like pedaling or reaching without feeling restricted by your clothing.

The combination of bluesign® APPROVED materials, UPF 50+ protection, articulated cuffs, drop-tail hem, and movement-mirroring stretch creates a garment that is not only environmentally friendly but also designed for maximum comfort and performance. These features ensure you can enjoy your outdoor activities with confidence, knowing you are protected and unrestricted.
