The reviews reporting snagging of the fabric are correct and I think the fabric construction style is inherently flawed. I ignored the reviews and ordered this hoodie for a Grand Canyon through hike. I dislike solid fabric sun hoodies for lack of ventilation and preferred the ventilated fabric of the PFG Solar Stream Hoodie. It was a great benefit during the hike, but I noticed the sleeves and front of the shirt had snags from Velcro and other general backpack closures. I chuckle at the idea a fella is on a boat using it as a fishing guide as in the Columbia website pictures. It would snag from hooks and all other types of items in the first hour. Unfortunately, this is a one time purchase of this item. It was airy and great for cooling, but due to all the snags on it, I only plan to use it for yard work now and will not wear it out during public events.
