An Essential Piece of Gear
I have very fair skin and burn easily. I'm also an outdoor junkie. Despite this combo, I've never been a sun hoodie guy. That all changed with this hoodie.
I've taken this thing canoe camping in 100 degree heat and 95% humidity. I've taken it climbing around the world in both chilly and hot weather. I've taken it on week long ultralight backpacking trips. Not only has it put up with the wear and tear, it's just so versatile. It protects from the sun first and foremost, but is also is amazing at wicking moisture, protecting from bugs, and serves as a versatile layering piece in cases where every piece of gear matters, like backpacking.
It's my favorite piece of outdoor specific clothing and the first thing I reach for generally when heading out to an adventure.
