Kid's Long Sleeve Sun and UV Protection Hoodie Dress

Details & care

The BloqUV Kids Hoodie Dress is a stylish, lightweight sun-protective dress designed to help keep kids comfortable and covered during sunny outdoor adventures. Made with proprietary BloqTek™ performance fabric, this long-sleeve hoodie dress provides UPF 50+ sun protection and blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays to help protect covered skin from harmful UV exposure. The full chest coverage, long sleeves, and built-in hood provide more coverage than a typical children's dress, while the comfortable design allows kids to move freely while playing, exploring, swimming, or enjoying time outdoors. It is an especially versatile choice for beach days, boating, poolside activities, playground adventures, vacations, and everyday summer wear. The built-in hood provides additional head and neck coverage, helping protect areas that are often exposed when children spend extended time outside. This added coverage is especially useful on sunny or windy days at the beach, on a boat, around the pool, or at the playground. The long sleeves provide additional protection for the arms, while the full chest coverage helps reduce exposed skin without requiring another layer. The design also provides wind resistance, making the dress useful when outdoor conditions change. Front pockets provide convenient storage for small treasures and everyday essentials, allowing kids to keep items close while keeping their hands free for playing and exploring. This practical feature adds functionality to the dress while maintaining its comfortable, casual style. The proprietary BloqTek™ sun-protective performance fabric provides UPF 50+ protection and has been laboratory tested in accordance with AATCC TM 183 to verify the stated UPF rating. The fabric blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays to help protect covered skin from the sun. Because the chemical-free UV protection is incorporated directly into the fabric, it does not wash out, providing consistent sun protection through repeated wear and washing. This allows parents to concentrate sunscreen application on exposed areas rather than applying it underneath the garment. The soft, lightweight fabric features four-way stretch, allowing the dress to move comfortably with an active child as they run, play, climb, stretch, swim, and explore. This flexible construction helps prevent the garment from feeling stiff or restrictive, while the lightweight feel makes it comfortable enough for extended wear. The breathable performance fabric also helps keep kids comfortable during warm-weather activities. Moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance helps move moisture away from the body and allows the fabric to dry quickly, making the hoodie dress especially practical for pool days, beach trips, boating, water play, and other activities where kids may get wet. The BloqTek™ 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 construction is designed for the demands of an active child's lifestyle. Shrink-resistant properties help the dress maintain its fit and appearance with proper care, while antimicrobial and odor-resistant properties help it stay fresher during active use. Flat seams provide a smooth feel against the skin while contributing to comfort, durability, and a polished appearance. The lightweight, packable construction also makes the dress easy to fold into a suitcase, backpack, beach bag, or travel bag, making it convenient to take along on family vacations and outdoor adventures. BloqTek™ is exclusive to BloqUV and is specifically engineered for sun-protective performance clothing. BloqUV states that its fabrics are tested according to AATCC TM 183 to ensure that the UPF 50+ protection is as stated. The company also explains that UPF is comparable to SPF as a measurement of sun protection and notes that an average white cotton top provides only about UPF 5, making UPF 50+ fabric a significant increase in protection for covered skin. The BloqTek™ fabric is also free of BPA and BPS toxins. The Kids Hoodie Dress is available in sizes XS through XXL, corresponding to approximately ages 5 through 14. XS is designed 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 dress is available in Mint, Tickle Me Pink, White, and Navy, providing several options for coordinating with swimwear, sandals, sneakers, or everyday summer outfits. The Kids Hoodie Dress is designed for a wide range of outdoor activities and everyday uses. It is particularly well suited for the beach, boating, pool days, playground adventures, vacations, outdoor play, and other sunny-weather activities where children may spend extended time outside. The combination of full chest coverage, long sleeves, head and neck coverage, UPF 50+ protection, lightweight four-way stretch fabric, moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance, wind resistance, and functional front pockets makes it a practical and stylish alternative to a traditional children's dress when sun protection is a priority. The garment is designed for straightforward care to help preserve its sun protection, performance, fit, and appearance. Wash the dress 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 dress 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 the dress is being worn. 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, avoid rubbing 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.
