Altitude Ultralight Sun Shirt

I wore it fly fishing today and it was really nice and light weight. I hate wearing sunscreen, so I needed something that won’t smother me in this Tennessee 90% humidity. Overall I’m happy with it after my first use.

I wanted this to be my new favorite sun hoody! It fits sleekly and looks attractive enough to wear around town. The hood is fitted well. The fabric is the lightest and most airy I have felt anywhere!! It’s very stretchy and not the clammy type of synthetic fabric, if you know what I mean. And the colors are pretty!!

2 drawbacks: after one washing, the fabric had 3 visible snags up the front. So it is not going to be durable or continue looking nice for long. This was a big bummer. The second is that I AM getting some sun through the fabric. I am very light skinned and working outdoors 12 hours a day in the Mojave Desert in August (yup, worst case testing scenario here, folks. UV index of 11). When I put a patch of sunscreen under the shirt to test it, the skin around the sunscreen DID get some visible sun through the shirt. It wasn’t a bad enough burn to need aloe vera, but it was lightly visible. I think for 2-4 hours of sun, or for darker skinned people, this would work great. But if you’re very light skinned or out all day, you may want to do a little sunscreen test and make sure you don’t need even more protection. I do like this company and product and will stick around to see if they continue to improve their technology!

Love the lightness and was surprised when I snagged on a dry bush and damage was minimal. I have short arms and this wasn’t super long for me like some brands I’ve tried. I wouldn’t mind a little more torso length. I don’t like the look of the neck covering but it is functional for keeping the sun of your neck.

I have two of the sun hoodies and the fabric pulls extremely easily and you get all kinds of pulls on the fabric. They certainly don’t hold up to outdoor use like fly fishing or hiking. I don’t recommend them for outdoorsman

I finally had a chance to wear my new shirt on a two night camping trip. I put it on in Phoenix when it was over 100 deg to pack and leave town. Then up to >8000 ft where the sun got intense to setup camp. Left it on that night to sleep in. Then left as insulating layer under a shirt the next morning. Out hiking all day it stayed on, dried out fast and slept in it again, finally took it off the 3rd day for the drive home. Didn’t stink, feel itchy, or anything. Love it!

The bright yellow color is great. The material is soft and barely weighs anything.
Only one not-so-great comment. The material is so delicate, that during my very first wearing, I damaged the front of shirt. I guess my safety vest (worn on top of the sun shirt) had a rough edge and caused a pull in the front of sun shirt. Bummer. I guess it's my fault? My warning to any other buyers is: use extreme caution since the material is very delicate.
Otherwise, nice shirt for sun protection.
PS. I am going to keep wearing it despite the damage. I paid full retail !!

Light, stretchy, and extremely breathable. Perfect woman’s cut. I had to order a second one I love it so much. I even ordered 3 as gifts.

Paddled on a 87 degree Sunday in the PNW and wasn’t hot, no sunburns, great product

The sun hoodie was very lightweight and the material was soft. It was effective against the sun and effective at keeping mosquitoes from buzzing around your ears, but the material did snag when hiking through some overgrown trails.. Overall, I really like the product, and I will continue to wear it, but wish the material was also snag resistant.

Wore the sun shirt on a long hike in direct 85 degree sun for hours. Never burned and sweat dried quickly when I had my lunch break. Definitely will be taking this as my main shirt on my upcoming section hike.

The fabric is thin an the velcro on my backpack pocket rubbed on it for hours and it did create tiny snags. This is to be expected especially with any similar sun fabric. It was so affordable that I dont mind using it during technical sports.

Very pretty colors I have blue and torquoise. Fits well, dries fast and looks great!

Amazing shirt for mountain marathon.

I had previously bought my wife two of these, and she wears them all the time for walks and hikes. So much so that I just bought her two more so she did have to worry about having a clean one available.

I have recently had some skin cancer scares and that has prompted me to make sure when outside whether hiking, watching kids soccer or gardening that I am covered up. This shirt hits the spot. It runs on the tighter side, but very comfy. Gave it 4 stars because I personally love having the thumb hole to cover up my wrist so that is the reason.

It is the most breathable lightweight sun shirt I have ever worn. I live in the humid and hot Houston heat and this shirt wicked away the sweat so I didn’t even feel wet. I highly recommend,

The pros of this hoodie:

Very lightweight fabric makes it feel like you're wearing almost nothing
Fabric is breathable and flows well
Sizing is pretty true to size. I'm usually a large and a large fits me perfectly with good length for the arms
The fabric is a little stretchy and moves with you - nothing restrictive here

The cons:
Only one, but not insignificant - the material snags a fair amount. I wore it for the first time today on a day trip with a soft pack with no metal or velcro on it. And I have at least 5 snag spots on it. This was super disappointing to me. I wanted to give this 5 stars so much. And I honestly would order one in every color if it weren't for the snagging issue. I'm keeping it because of the other pros, but it's very disappointing that after 1 wear it already looks old and tired.

Very lightweight with decent stretch, but concerned about durability. Plus it's a base layer. In my opinion all base layers should have thumbholes! I sized up a notch to compensate for the lack of thumbholes. Had two pulls in the front after just one short walk on an open trail (no brush) not really sure from but that doesn't bode well for the garment's longevity.

I bought 2 of these Sun hoodies, and I must say, they are so comfortable, and the temperature range they effectively work at is amazing! I tend to hike cold, so single layer from 52 to 75, zero issues so far. Superb wicking, thumb holes would make perfection! They weight sub 5 oz, pack small, just overall an excellent product.

Pros: Visually appealing style.

Cons: Severe pilling after one use, zero durability, misleading marketing (The brand’s website explicitly features promotional imagery of individuals hiking with backpacks) , inadequate customer support.

This item is purely aesthetic and entirely unfit for actual outdoor use. The material lacks the structural integrity required for hiking. Save your money and buy from a reputable outdoor brand that stands behind its craftsmanship and designs gear that can actually handle a backpack.
