Crater Lake Crop Half Zip Hoodie

The Crater Lake fabric is unbeatable, hands down the best sun hoody material out there. I especially love the fit of the Crop Zip version over the Long Sleeve Hoody. It was so good, I had to get a second one! The neck coverage, half zip, hood, thumbholes, and cropped fit all work perfectly for me. I’d love to see a Crater Lake Crop T-shirt released next spring, fingers crossed!

The Crater Lake Crop with hood is easily the best sun shirt I’ve ever worn (and friends say the same!). The fabric is light, breathable, protective, and stretchy, and the cut is more flattering than anything else I’ve found. I wear it constantly outdoors. The big drawback, though, is the colors. Black is too hot in the sun, white stains instantly, and the bold tie-dye and camo-style prints just aren’t versatile or stylish for most people. I’ve seen past seasons with great muted blues and purples, but those seem to be gone. This shirt would absolutely dominate if it came in more timeless, understated tones. The design is perfect—the colors are the main thing holding it back.

Love this top, wearable in hot weather d/t the zipper and short length, features that provide some ventilation. Normally don’t wear crop tops but made an exception for this one. However, it fits well only because I sized up. Otherwise, sleeves would have been too short and overall not as airy. I bought an XL, but generally am an L. 5’11”, 155 lb, 36D. Oh also love that it comes in BLACK! Have the tie dye too, but tend to reach for the black more.

5’1”, 140lbs, 34DD and I got a small which fits perfectly! The fit is spacious enough for my chest, flowy around the waist, and fitted on my arms. Very flattering. Shoulder seams don’t make me feel constricted. Hits a little below my natural waist. Keeps me cool and dry. Fabric is thin and comfortable 10/10 want to buy more but everything is out of stock!

LOVE this sun shirt! It is so lightweight, buttery and the crop is perfect for me. I have used it for tons of outside adventures (hiking, climbing, some light field work) and it has performed well for all. The only downside I have found is that it sits above my harness when belaying, which can cause some rubbing and makes me wonder if I'll get a weird sunburn on my lower back one day while climbing this summer. I have a longer torso, so others may not have this problem. Otherwise, I love it and it might be my favorite clothing purchase in a while :)
