Unisex Long Sleeve UV Protection Hoodie Shirt

Details & care

The BloqUV Unisex Hoodie is a lightweight, versatile UPF 50+ sun-protective pullover designed to provide comfortable coverage for men and women during outdoor activities. Made with proprietary BloqTek™ sun-protective performance fabric, this hoodie provides UPF 50+ protection and blocks 98% of UVA and UVB rays to help protect covered skin from sun exposure. The built-in hood, full chest coverage, long sleeves, and neck coverage provide additional protection from the sun and wind while the lightweight fabric helps keep you comfortable. It is especially well suited for fishing, boating, biking, running, paddle boarding, swimming, walking, workouts, gardening, pickleball, beach tennis, travel, and other outdoor activities. The built-in hood provides additional head and neck coverage, helping protect areas that are often exposed during extended time outdoors. The long sleeves provide additional coverage for the arms, while the extended neck coverage helps protect the neck from direct sun exposure. Hidden thumb holes allow the sleeves to extend comfortably over the hands when additional coverage is desired, helping keep the sleeves in place during active movement. Together, these features provide more complete coverage than a traditional hoodie or long-sleeve shirt while maintaining a lightweight, athletic feel. The soft, lightweight fabric features four-way stretch to provide comfortable flexibility and freedom of movement during fishing, boating, biking, running, swimming, paddle boarding, beach tennis, pickleball, workouts, gardening, and everyday activities. The lightweight construction makes the hoodie comfortable for warm-weather wear and easy to pack into a backpack, suitcase, boat bag, or travel bag when you are on the go. Moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance helps move moisture away from the body and allows the fabric to dry quickly, helping you stay more comfortable during active pursuits and warm-weather activities. The BloqTek™ fabric also provides an approximately 5-degree cooling effect when wet with water or sweat, making the hoodie especially useful for fishing, swimming, paddle boarding, boating, and other activities where you may sweat or get wet. The proprietary BloqTek™ fabric provides UPF 50+ sun 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 ultraviolet exposure. Because the chemical-free UV protection is incorporated directly into the fabric, it does not wash out, providing lasting sun protection through repeated wear and washing. This allows you to rely on the garment for consistent sun protection without needing to reapply a UV treatment to the fabric. The performance construction is designed to handle repeated use while helping the hoodie maintain its fit and appearance. Shrink-resistant properties help preserve the garment's shape with proper care, while antimicrobial and odor-resistant properties help it stay fresher during active use, travel, and repeated wear. Flat seams provide a smooth feel against the skin while contributing to comfort, durability, and a clean finished appearance. BloqTek™ is exclusive to BloqUV and is specifically engineered for sun-protective performance clothing. BloqUV states that UPF protection never washes out and that the fabric provides an approximately 5-degree cooling effect when wet with water or sweat. BloqUV's fabrics are tested according to AATCC TM 183 to ensure the UPF 50+ protection is as stated. The company also explains that UPF is equivalent in ratings and capabilities to SPF for sunscreens and notes that an average white cotton top has a UPF rating of only about 5. The BloqTek™ fabric is also free of BPA and BPS toxins. The Unisex Hoodie is designed to work well for both men and women. For women who want a looser fit, BloqUV recommends purchasing the true size, while sizing down provides a more fitted look. For the slim-fit design, those who prefer a more relaxed fit should consider sizing up, while ordering the usual size provides a snug, true-to-size fit. The hoodie is available in sizes X-Small through XX-Large and in Black, Caribbean Blue, Indigo, Jade, Midnight Blue, Mint, Navy, Smoke, Soft Gray, and White. The Unisex Hoodie is particularly well suited for fly fishing, boating, biking, fishing, running, paddle boarding, swimming, walking, working out, gardening, pickleball, beach tennis, travel, and other outdoor activities. Its combination of hood and neck coverage, long sleeves, hidden thumb holes, UPF 50+ protection, lightweight four-way stretch fabric, moisture-wicking and quick-drying performance, and cooling effect when wet makes it a practical choice when you want substantial sun coverage without the weight or bulk of a traditional sweatshirt. 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.
