Salathe Sun Print Recycled Polyester Hoodie

Very lightweight top with great breathability. Love the light color that doesn't trap heat while in the sun with the bonus of sun protection.

I am not sure when polyester became “breathable” material. It traps heat and does not allow airflow. The box style allows some air to move, NOT the material. Stay away from this if you don’t like man made materials aka polyester.

This product is incredible! Mosquito-protection apparel has been a total game changer for me because bug spray never seems to do the trick.

I’ve worn the Royal Robbins Salathe on a 1200-mile thru-hike on the Pacific Northwest Trail and on countless mountain ridges in the mountain west of the US. I love this sun hoodie because it’s loose-fitting so it keeps you cool, it's super light and comfortable, and it has a quarter-zip, which is pretty rare to find in a sun hoodie. Plust, it doesn’t stink even after wearing it for a week without washing. The mosquito protection technology really works, too. I’ve literally watched mosquitoes try to bite me through the fabric and fail over and over. This is my favorite hoodie to bring shade everywhere for hiking, climbing, running, and camping. And it still looks great after 1200 miles wearing it with a backpack.

I got this for my husband and he really nice the pattern (Orion blue) as an alternative to his other sun shirts. He already got complements on it. He loves the lightweight fabric especially for the more humid locations. He owns lots of sun shirts but this one has a unique look that he likes and is comfy. Added bonus that it protects against mosquitos.
