Toddler's Long Sleeve Hoodie Dress for Sun and UV Protection

Details & care

The BloqUV Toddler Hoodie Dress is a stylish, lightweight sun-protective dress designed to help keep toddlers comfortable and covered during sunny outdoor adventures. Made with proprietary BloqTek™ sun-protective performance fabric, this long-sleeve hoodie dress provides UPF 50+ protection and blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays to help protect covered skin from harmful ultraviolet exposure. The full chest coverage, long sleeves, and built-in hood provide substantial coverage while allowing toddlers to move freely as they play, explore, swim, and enjoy time outdoors. Its versatile design makes it especially useful for beach days, boating, poolside activities, splash pads, playground adventures, vacations, and everyday outdoor wear. The built-in hood provides full head and neck coverage, helping protect areas that can be difficult to keep covered when toddlers are playing outdoors. This additional coverage is particularly useful during sunny or breezy 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 dress also provides wind resistance, making it a practical choice when outdoor conditions change. Front pockets add convenient functionality by giving toddlers a place to carry small treasures and everyday essentials while keeping their hands free for playing and exploring. This practical feature adds useful storage to the comfortable, casual dress design and makes the garment even more versatile for everyday adventures. 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, allowing the dress to provide 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 toddler as they run, climb, stretch, swim, play, and explore. The breathable material is designed for movement and all-day comfort, making it comfortable enough for everything from outdoor play to quieter activities and even naptime. The lightweight construction also makes the dress comfortable for warm-weather wear without adding unnecessary bulk. Moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance helps move moisture away from the body and allows the fabric to dry quickly, making the hoodie dress particularly useful for water play, pool days, splash pads, beach trips, boating, and other activities where toddlers may get wet. The lightweight fabric stays cool even when wet, while BloqUV states that the fabric provides an approximately 5-degree cooling effect when wet with water or sweat. This helps toddlers stay more comfortable during warm-weather activities and water-filled adventures. The performance construction is designed for the demands of an active toddler. 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 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 dress easy to fold into a diaper bag, beach bag, suitcase, or travel bag, making it convenient to take along for family trips and outdoor adventures. BloqTek™ is exclusive to BloqUV and is specifically engineered for sun-protective performance clothing. The UPF protection does not wash out, allowing the garment to provide lasting sun protection throughout its useful life. BloqUV states that its fabrics are tested in accordance with AATCC TM 183 to ensure the UPF 50+ protection is as stated. The company also explains that UPF is equivalent in rating and capability to SPF for sunscreens 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. BloqUV also states that its BloqTek™ fabric is free of BPA and BPS toxins. The Toddler Hoodie Dress is available in sizes 2T, 3T, and 4T, making it designed specifically for toddlers and young children. It is available in Navy, Mint, Tickle Me Pink, and White, providing several options for coordinating with sandals, swimwear, sneakers, or other warm-weather clothing. The playful dress styling makes it an easy choice for toddlers who want to look stylish while parents want practical sun protection. The Toddler Hoodie Dress is designed for a wide range of outdoor and water activities. It is especially well suited for the beach, boating, pool days, splash pads, playgrounds, vacations, and everyday outdoor play. The combination of full chest coverage, long sleeves, full head and neck coverage, UPF 50+ protection, lightweight four-way stretch fabric, moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance, cooling performance when wet, wind resistance, and functional front pockets makes it a practical and stylish alternative to a traditional toddler 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, 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.
