Astroman Air Sun Half Zip Hoodie

I love this sun hoodie! I tried a few others, but most of the ones with knit fabric felt sticky and uncomfortable. The Astroman Air is lightweight, moves with me, dries quickly, and doesn't stick when I sweat. I wore it on the Tahoe Rim Trail last summer and it was perfect on exposed, sunny stretches and in windy areas.

I traveled to national parks in Costa Rica in November - hiking in jungles, boat trips, zipling, nightwalk in the cloud forest. The weather was ranging from cool to hot and from wet to dry. The two Astroman Air Sun Hoodies (red and grey) I had with me, were my every day wear over a t-shirt. It has all you need for this type of weather - you don't get sweat if it is hot, I felt protected enough when I was zipling and it can handle even light drizzles. When it rained I used Hellium jacket - also a great piece for its purpose. I am very happy with my purchase.

I wore this sun hoodie for the entire PCT (5 months) and it still has life left in it. Most people had holes in their sun hoodie mid way through the trail and this one only has some light rubbing and discoloration. It dries very quickly and the zipper is great for both cooling off as well as keeping the hood on even in heavy winds. Highly recommend this product and am ready to buy my second one. I am sad to hear the thumb holes are gone. I also wish the womens version had the pocket at the chest like the mens. However, with how lightweight and stretchy the fabric is anyways, i do not tend to use the pocket. Could do without it entirely.

This is my second Astroman Air Hoodie and first newer generation style. Purchased the Galactic and love the color Pros: the texture of the material is great, same as last version. I live in a hot humid climate. I love the zip neck feature please keep this! I can't stand pullover Sun Shirts that are not adjustable around the neck so this is an amazing feature. I'm basically hooked on these because of this. Love the variety of darker color options. Even living in a hot humid climate i like darker colored sun protection options vrs light and bright Cons: the new backwards pocket design is awful. It's so awkward and uncomfortable it seems like a production error. Why would you make a pocket placement go backwards on an article of clothing? I constantly have items fall out of the back pocket if not zipped and have to stop to reach back to find what I'm looking for because it's a shorter depth as well as doesn't move well with the body when walking/hiking. My earlier season Astroman sun hoodie has thumb holes and a huge front pocket on the left side with mesh lining that was deep enough to fit a phone. I love this zip sun hoodie and I wish you would bring back that style or consider an anorak style front zipper.
