Dick's had the right options for me to choose. I purchased this online and got what i wanted and needed. The sun hoodie itself was well designed and built. it even has a little nook to hook your sunglasses to. I hate applying sunscreen so this was a great option for me when i go to the beach.

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

Size medium fits 5 ’ 7 ”, 140# athletic frame with room. Small worked as well for a bit more fitted style, but preferred the extra space in shoulders. Nice material for layering over a tank top and color is neutral for versatility. This will be nice for sun protection as the weather warms up poured with the bre ze 2 free fly pant. Very simple style.

I bought this spf shirt a couple weeks ago and have used it to throw on when going for lunchtime walks at work so as not to get sticky with sunscreen at work. It is very lightweight and airy despite warm temperatures…perfect for its intended purpose.

5 Hannah W.
This is my new favorite shirt. I thought I was in love with the bamboo lightweight sun hoodies, but I think the Free Fly team outdid themselves with this one. It ’s practically silk, so smooth and soft, but so lightweight I barely even notice it! I ’ ve worn it on one hike and to several yoga classes, and it has performed beautifully! I can ’ t stop reaching for it each morning, and knowing I will have to wash it soon has inspired me to order a couple more. I also prefer the new thumbhole style, I like the sideways slits as opposed to the in- line seam style. And I love the semi- cropped length, I think it ’s super cute( and so does my husband, who actually complimented this shirt without knowing it was new)! For reference, I ’ m 5 ’ 4 ”, 140lbs, pretty short- waisted and only a little athletic, and I got the medium. Highly recommend!

5 AmyBee683
I ’ ve been wearing this every time I drive to my elderly mother ’s house( 4 hours away). This summer has been disgustingly hot, but the white color helps deflect the sun and I don ’ t have to slather my entire upper body in sunscreen when I wear it. I can also stick my thumbs in the thumb holes and cover most of my hands. It does get sweaty if I wear it outside in the heat for a while, but as a very pale person, I love being able to just slip something on and get instant sun protection. So far it ’s been washing well and it dries quickly. Definitely planning to pick up abother one at some point. I ’ m almost always a medium in women ’s tops and the medium fits me in a comfy loose way that ’s not too big.

Currently I have 3 Elevate Hoodies and love them all! The New Edition has 2 slight differences from it's predecessor. This one the shoulder has the typical straight line sleeve divider compared to the smooth rollover sleeve. Both designs are appealing and obviously have a slightly different appearance. Probably a good thing since I wear them all the time! The other difference is the thumbhole on the sleeve. The previous edition has a loop for the middle finger and covers the top of the hand slightly better for fishing, but for everyday wear the thumbhole is ideal. I work from home and basically wear the Elevate Hoodie all day with my Breeze Pants. Comfortable, lightweight, and simply a& quot; cool look& quot; are all important to me and this nails it across the board!

5 PaddyB
Most reasonably priced lightweight hoodie that I plan on using for golf and travel. Yeah, it ’s a fly fishing company, but there ’s no overly obnoxious fly fishing features on the hoodie( whatever those are). Greyson and Peter Millar want$ 120+ for a similar product. Im 6 ’ 1 ” 175 lbs and the large fits perfect.

My daughter loves this shirt! I believe her favorite part is the hood, but it ’s also incredibly soft and breathable. The stretch makes it very easy to take on and off which is a huge plus for us.

My kiddo struggles with synthetic fabrics feeling `` weird '' and uncomfortable for him but he also loves to fish, backpack and basically lives outside. I picked this up hoping the soft natural fibers would help with his sensory issues and they have! He loves this thing and would live in it daily if we let him!

5 Alfred M.
My kids love these shirts and never want to take them off. It's the perfect blend of softness and the colors are great. I would say order up a size, they have generally run smaller in length for my boys.

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.

I love it! I am really specific about sun shirts because I live and work on boats and wear a sun shirt most days. Full disclosure: I have tried the Crater Lake and Sunshadow before this and really did not like them. The Crater Lake is 1) kind of soft and does n't breath as well as this one and 2) had sloppy sewing so the sleeve hem unravelled after a couple months of wear. The Sunshadow was low stretch and super restricting to wear and the fabric stained really easily. This* Sunblocker* is amazing. The fabric is super quick drying but not scratchy, the sewing is really neat, and the fabric is stretchy and not restrictive. I sized up from S to M and am glad I did. I personally love the crop. It still protects my whole back, even when I bend over, but is n't too long. Overall, I 'm really happy with it!

I bought this a few months ago, love it. It looks good and feels not hot on a hot day.

Perfect for long beach days. Lightweight with sun protection. Easy to throw on or throw in my bag. I wore with my cut- off denim shorts and thought the shirt was a perfect cropped length.

5 Monica
I am a big fan of the bamboo lightweight- specifically the weight and feel. I was hesitant to try this style since then fabric make up is slightly different. I was not disappointed. It still felt light and comfortable in very high humidity and the blazing sun. The crop length is perfect- I ’ m in my 40s and not trying to look like I ’ m in my 20s. I bought a medium although I typically wear small to account for any shrinkage in the wash. Please keep this style and more colors please!

Finally, a top that is a bit younger- styled and flattering, even if you 're not in your 20s! The crop is the perfect length; not too short, not too long. And the fitted body shows off your curves more so than the other styles( my previous and still 2nd fav is the shade hoodie II). Glad to see that Freefly is stepping it up and keeping things functional and hip!
