This was exactly what I was looking for. Shirt is lightweight and definitely protects from the sun. Not ideal if it gets wet kind of gets stuck to your body and the logo in the back can be a little hot if the sun is beating down on you. Still awesome for what I wanted and would definitely recommend.

5 Arlene J.
My 9 year old requested one after seeing me in mine. He loves the soft material. He loves how the hood is wide enough that it goes over his baseball cap. His only “ complaint ” was he wished his shirt came with finger holes too like the adult. I bought him a size L and it ’s long on him but I ’ m glad to have a longer wear time window for him to use the shirt! A win!!!

Light, breathable, stretchy, and minimalist. Great shell for hiking, running, skiing, or just walking around town. The 'cenote' blue is just right.

5 Jeff
Love this piece so far. I 'm 6' 4 '', 250lbs and the XL fits me great. I typically need to order XLT shirts but this is sized well for me. Sleeves are good length but would n't have minded another inch. Thumb holes would have been nice. I have to maneuver a little to get it over my chest( 46 inch) but it's not a problem, just noticeable. The material has a nice stretch to it. Might have a shirt on underneath or nothing under depending on temperature and wind. Love the hood fit with or without a hat. Zipped up the hood stays on well. Zippers work well. I 've washed it several times now and the material and color still look new. Washing on delicate and hang dry. I like it so much I might get another.

5 D S
Absolutely love this shirt. It ’s made of magic. Awesome for summer around water. Dries very quickly. Can wear swimming instead of sunblock. Keeps the sun off you and keeps you cool as it breathes well. Also keeps you warm as the sun goes down. I have a bunch of these. I wear them all the time! Great for most outdoor activities.

5 Thomas A
I live in this thing all summer. On the boat, on the beach, biking the Andes Mountain. I also got it treated for mosquito protection. It's my favorite piece of clothing.

Breathable and well fitting. Protection from the sun without feeling too stuffy.

The botton up neck is perfect for those not so sunny but still hot days on the boat.

5 CharlesS
This is the softest shirt I have ever owned. Secondary use as pajamas around the house. I live in FL where the heat is brutal and this shirt magically cools you with the lightest breeze out on the water and does not stick to your skin when sweaty. Love the thumb and middle finger holes too for additional sun protection. Please make more colors so I can own all of them. Tight lines!

5 CharlesS
Softest shirt I have ever owned and its secondary use is PJs. Cools you with the slightest breeze out on brutally hot days without letting sweat make the shirt stick to you. The thumb and middle finger holes are great for added sun protection. Please make more colors. Tight lines!

5 EricB
I 've had over a dozen different sun hoodies since they became popular. For Me, this is the best one overall by a wide margin. While some may feel more 'woven', and others more 'plasticy', this one seems to be the best of both worlds providing comfort and protection. It is very soft to the skin, and the material sort of 'hangs' on you without feeling 'clingy'. It has plenty of stretch, but does n't feel like a set of drapes. So far the shirt seems to be retaining it's shape /size perfectly. Interesting enough, I wore it under a hoodie on a cool damp morning... casting really hard, I got too hot for the hoodie, but was reluctant to take it off. Finally I did due to sweating and was very surprised at how well this shirt regulated my body heat. The sweat evaporated quickly, and the shirt provided a nice light layer of protection from the cool damp air and light south wind. Once the sun came out the shirt really shined. Sleeves are plenty long, and the wrist/ hand coverings are a nice touch in case you forgot sun gloves. The hood is fitted nicely, proving excellent coverage while not being obtrusive. I chose the 'Neptune' color and I like that it is understated and does n't scream 'SUNSHIRT!!! If I had to nit- pick one thing, the closure button of the hoodie is a little challenging to snap closed with old worn- out fingers due the material being so soft and light.. but that's really minor. I highly recommend this shirt if You are on the fence, You wo n't be disappointed. I do n't usually do reviews much, but his one was definitely worth a follow up. Good job Simms

Frequently Asked Questions For Best Hooded Sun Shirt

When searching for the best hooded sun shirt, consider features such as UPF protection, moisture-wicking capabilities, and breathability. A lightweight fabric is essential for comfort, especially in hot weather. Additionally, look for designs that offer a good fit and coverage to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Hooded sun shirts are typically made from synthetic materials like polyester or nylon, which provide excellent moisture-wicking properties and durability. Some may also incorporate spandex for added stretch and comfort. Natural fibers like cotton can be used, but they may not offer the same level of UV protection or quick-drying capabilities.

Yes, hooded sun shirts are versatile and suitable for a range of outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, and beach outings. Their design not only provides sun protection but also helps keep you cool and comfortable during physical activities. Look for styles that offer flexibility and ease of movement for the best experience.

Choosing the right size for a hooded sun shirt involves considering both your body measurements and the intended fit. Many brands offer sizing charts that can help you find the best fit based on your chest, waist, and hip measurements. It's also important to think about how you plan to wear the shirt, whether you prefer a snug fit or a looser style for layering.

While hooded sun shirts are primarily designed for warm weather, they can be worn in cooler conditions as well, especially if layered with other clothing. The hood provides additional warmth and protection against the wind. Look for shirts made with slightly thicker materials for added insulation if you plan to use them in variable weather.
