Kid's Long Sleeve Full Zip Hoodie Top with Sun and UV Protection

Details & care

The BloqUV Kids Full Zip Hoodie Top is a versatile UPF 50+ sun-protective layer designed to help keep kids comfortable and protected during sunny outdoor adventures. This lightweight, long-sleeve hoodie provides UPF 50+ protection that blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays, making it an easy way to add reliable sun protection to your child's outdoor wardrobe. Because the UV protection is built directly into the fabric, parents only need to apply sunscreen to exposed areas rather than covering all of the skin underneath the shirt. The unisex design works equally well for boys and girls and provides comfortable coverage without restricting the movement kids need to play, explore, and have fun. The full-zip design makes getting dressed and changing quick and easy, which is especially convenient after swimming, playing at the beach, or enjoying an active day outdoors. The zipper also allows children to adjust how much coverage they want as temperatures and activities change, while the classic hoodie styling makes the garment easy to wear as an everyday layer. The long sleeves provide additional coverage for the arms, helping reduce exposed skin during extended time outdoors. The versatile design allows the hoodie to be worn in several different ways depending on the activity. Wear it as a standalone sun shirt, use it as a lightweight base layer, or wear it as a swim shirt, rash guard, or beach cover-up. This versatility makes it useful for swimming, fishing, boating, biking, playground time, beach days, vacations, and everyday outdoor play, giving parents one lightweight garment that can provide sun protection across a variety of activities. The proprietary BloqTek™ sun-protective performance fabric provides UPF 50+ protection and is laboratory tested according to AATCC TM 183 to verify the stated UPF rating. The fabric blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays to help protect covered skin from ultraviolet exposure. Unlike topical sunscreen, the chemical-free UV protection is built into the fabric fibers and does not wash out, allowing the hoodie to provide consistent sun protection wear after wear and wash after wash. The soft, lightweight fabric features four-way stretch to provide comfortable flexibility and freedom of movement, allowing kids to run, climb, swim, ride bikes, play sports, or simply enjoy time outside without feeling restricted. Moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance helps move moisture away from the body and allows the fabric to dry quickly, making the hoodie especially useful for swimming, water play, boating, and active outdoor play. The fabric also provides an approximately 5-degree cooling effect when wet with water or sweat, helping children stay more comfortable during warm-weather activities. The performance fabric is designed to withstand the demands of an active child's lifestyle. Shrink-resistant construction helps the hoodie maintain its fit and appearance with proper care, while antimicrobial and odor-resistant properties help the garment stay fresher during repeated wear and active use. Flat seams provide a smooth feel against the skin while contributing to comfort, durability, and a clean finished appearance. The lightweight, packable construction also makes the hoodie easy to fold into a backpack, suitcase, beach bag, or travel bag, so it is convenient to take along wherever the day leads. BloqTek™ is exclusive to BloqUV and is specifically engineered for sun-protective performance clothing. BloqUV notes that UPF protection is comparable to SPF in the way sun protection is rated, and an average white cotton shirt provides only about UPF 5, making UPF 50+ fabric a significant improvement in protection for covered skin. The BloqTek™ fabric is also free of BPA and BPS toxins. The Kids Full Zip Hoodie Top is available in unisex sizes XS through XXL, with sizes corresponding to approximately ages 5 through 14. The available sizing includes XS for age 5, Small for age 6, Medium for ages 7–8, Large for age 10, X-Large for age 12, and XX-Large for age 14. The classic unisex design makes it a versatile choice for boys and girls, while the range of sizes makes it easier for families to find an appropriate fit as children grow. The Kids Full Zip Hoodie Top is designed for a wide range of outdoor activities and everyday uses. It is especially useful for swimming, fishing, boating, biking, playground time, beach trips, vacations, outdoor sports, and active family adventures. The combination of UPF 50+ protection, lightweight stretch fabric, moisture management, quick-drying performance, and easy full-zip styling makes it a practical choice for parents who want their children to enjoy outdoor activities while wearing comfortable sun-protective clothing. The garment is designed for straightforward care to help preserve its sun protection, performance, fit, and appearance. Wash the hoodie before wearing because some colors may bleed, and machine wash it on a gentle cycle with cold water and like colors only. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners, and do not wash the hoodie with Velcro. For best results, lay the garment flat or hang it to dry away from natural sunlight, and do not iron or use a heated tumble dryer. Some sunscreens may cause discoloration of the garment, so take care when applying sunscreen while wearing the hoodie. For spot cleaning, BloqUV recommends products such as a Tide to Go Pen, Clorox non-bleach wipes, or baby wipes. When using a Tide to Go Pen, do not rub the fabric vigorously and instead blot the affected area. For best results, wash the garment after applying the cleaning product, and use a Tide to Go Pen on light-colored garments only.
