Details & care
The BloqUV Toddler Full Zip Hoodie Top is a versatile UPF 50+ sun-protective layer designed to help keep young children comfortable and protected during sunny outdoor adventures. This lightweight, long-sleeve hoodie provides UPF 50+ protection and blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays, making it an easy way to add reliable sun protection to your toddler’s outdoor wardrobe. Because the chemical-free UV protection is built directly into the fabric, it does not wash out, allowing the garment to provide consistent sun protection wear after wear. This also means parents can focus sunscreen application on exposed areas rather than applying it underneath the shirt. The full-zip design makes dressing and undressing quick and easy, which is especially helpful with active toddlers who may need to change before or after swimming, playing at the beach, or enjoying outdoor activities. The zipper also makes it easy to adjust coverage as conditions change, while the classic hoodie styling provides a versatile look that works for both boys and girls. The long sleeves provide additional coverage for the arms, helping reduce exposed skin during extended time outdoors. The versatile design allows the Toddler Full Zip Hoodie to be worn as a standalone sun shirt, a lightweight base layer, a swim shirt, a rash guard, or a beach cover-up. This makes it especially useful for swimming, fishing, boating, biking, playground time, beach trips, vacations, and other family outdoor activities. Having one lightweight garment that can serve multiple purposes makes it easier for parents to keep their toddlers protected without packing several different layers. The proprietary BloqTek™ sun-protective performance fabric provides UPF 50+ protection and is 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 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 continue providing dependable sun protection through repeated wear and washing. The soft, lightweight fabric features four-way stretch to provide comfortable flexibility and freedom of movement, allowing toddlers to run, climb, swim, ride bikes, play on the playground, and explore 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 particularly 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 young children stay more comfortable during warm-weather activities. The performance fabric is designed to handle the demands of an active toddler. 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 diaper bag, backpack, suitcase, beach bag, or travel bag, making it convenient to take along wherever the family goes. BloqTek™ is exclusive to BloqUV and is specifically engineered for sun-protective performance clothing. The fabric provides UPF protection that does not wash out and delivers an approximately 5-degree cooling effect when wet with water or sweat. BloqUV states that its fabrics are tested according to AATCC TM 183 to verify UPF 50+ protection, and the company compares UPF to SPF as a way of measuring sun protection. An average white cotton top provides only about UPF 5, making UPF 50+ fabric a significant increase in protection for covered skin. The Toddler Full Zip Hoodie Top has a unisex design and is available in sizes 2T, 3T, and 4T, making it suitable for both boys and girls. It is available in Tickle Me Pink, White, Navy, and Soft Gray, providing several options for coordinating with swimwear, play clothes, and everyday outfits. The classic design allows it to work equally well as activewear, swimwear, or an everyday sun-protective layer. The Toddler 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, and other family adventures where toddlers may spend extended time in the sun. The combination of UPF 50+ protection, lightweight four-way stretch fabric, moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance, and easy full-zip styling gives parents a practical way to provide comfortable sun protection while allowing their children to move and play freely. 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 the hoodie is being worn.
