Echo Raglan Sleeve Hoodie

I love how lightweight this hoodie is and it dries super fast. I've never gotten a sunburn while wearing it hiking and paddleboarding. My absolute favorite part is the ponytail hole in the hoodie. I hate having my hair stuck to my neck and I actually use this hood for the extra sun protection because of the hole. The only reason I rated it 4 stars is because of how thin the material is. I do have to be careful while wearing this shirt because it will snag very easily.

I bought this sun hoodie a year or two ago and it is hands down the best outdoor adventure shirt I own. I wore it every single day on a 21 day expedition and it held up so well to hard use. All of the dirt and smell washed out of it very easily and it was like new. The ponytail hole in the hood is one of my favorite features that I get many comments on. I have also use this shirt on many many other hikes and paddling days. 10/10 - would buy again!

I wore the Outdoor Research Echo Sun Hoodie for the Great Himalaya Trail, most of the Great Divide Trail in Canada, and a lot of day hikes in between. It became my default layer. It’s light, breathable, cool in strong sun, dries fast after a wash. The hood coverage is solid and works well with a bucket or baseball hat. Fabric comfort stayed good even after long, sweaty days under a pack. There was some pilling along the arm seams, but it's to be expected with such a lightweight fabric. After heavy high-altitude exposure (3.5 months) I did get some sun damage on the tops of my shoulders, likely from the UV plus pack straps making the material taught and potentially less protective from UV. I also wore it so much I needed a patch on the back as I wore a hole in it. Most hikers won’t stress it that hard. Overall, this sun shirt earned its keep and I'll be buying another one! Or two! Highly recommended.

I love these hoodies. I wear them cycling and to the gym all the time! (Caution with hiking, since they snag easily. I need more bright colors for cycling, PLEAE make more bright colors. I own this in black, black with blue stripe, dark green, light and dark oranges, light purple, 2 blues, and a blue with black water prints in it, and yellow- but it’s the men’s cut, so not as flattering as the woman’s cut. Also, the lighter colors can show the bra color underneath, if that’s a concern for you.

One of the best layers for summer or winter. I use it when I mountain bike to protect against the sun and bugs, and use it in the winter as an extra layer during ski days. I love the hood too to protect my neck! Highly recommend this layer for anyone looking for a versatile layer. Best layer for any beginner or expert! Size is reliable.
