For those days spent cooking on the wall. The zipper is quite nice and adds more ventilation. Very stretchy.

Absolutely the best sun hoody on the market. Generous length chest zipper to scrub heat + vented armpits + a multi panel hood that "hooks" under your hat to cast the most amount of shade across your face.
