Customers overwhelmingly praise this hoodie for exceptional sun protection, lightweight comfort, and breathable fabric that stays cool in hot weather. Many describe the soft, form-fitting design as flattering and perfect for outdoor activities, travel, and daily wear, with several owning versions for five years. Reviewers consistently highlight the UPF protection as a key purchase driver and appreciate how the fabric washes and dries quickly. Some request additional color options, and a few note the fit runs snug or the white fabric appears sheer. Overall, most consider it an essential outdoor staple worth repurchasing.
Nice and light. Great color too. Fit is perfect. Many compliments

Great sun shield

Fit: A little large
Used for: Casual or Every Day
Works well as a sun shield for me. Soft and loose. Didn’t think I would use the hood but I found it helpful in intense sun. Would buy another if available in a soft pink or soft

Amazing on wicked hot days
Weight: 170-180 lbs
Height: 5'7"
Size Purchased: Large
Fit: True to size
Used for: Casual or Every Day
It's amazing how comfortable this is on wicked hot days, even though it feels cotton-y instead of nylon-y. I have a lot of nylon sun shirts but this one is better than all of them

Sun Tracker Hoodie
Used for: Casual or Every Day, Camping, Hiking
I'm super sensitive to the sun. This shirt is lightweight and soft. I can throw the hood on when I'm in direct sunlight which is awesome. I don't get too hot either.

Great fabric, too short
Used for: Running or Fitness
In my regular size—medium, petite—I’m 5’1”—the shirt is too tight and too short. I returned it for a large regular, which I’ve kept and love. When I tried to buy another on sale, I

Good spf
Used for: Travel, Cycling, Casual or Every Day
Bought as a sunscreen fabric. I wear it over my swim top, taking it off to go into the ocean, then put it back on . It seems to shield well and is not too hot.

Great for traveling!
Used for: Travel
Bought this for summer and a trip to the equator. I like that it’s very lightweight and easily packable. The shade of green is lovely. It hugs your body so I went a size up.

Bought a white one. You can completely see through it. Not what I want at my age.

Great beachwear
Beautiful shade of blue, nice fabric. Next time I’m ordering it without a hood and a medium for a snugger fit.
