    What people are saying
    Hosts consistently praise it as lightweight, breathable, and comfortable enough for all-day wear, with several calling it their favorite or best sun hoodie outright. No notable criticism appears across the notes.

    Lightweight protection for when the sun is intense and you need a little extra coverage. Also clutch to have in your pack when the day cools off and you’re feeling a bit sun-cooked.

    Outer layer during the day to help protect from the sun and to pull hood up over my hat when windy. Super comfortable.

    Favorite sunhoodie hands down. It's light and breathable, thumb holes, watch cut out, pony-tail hole in the hood. All the things you want!

    Recommended in My Cocodona Kit

    Allen Au, Exceptional Amateur

    I'm between sizes, and usually I'd go for "the bigger size". Given the goal of this shirt is to actually get your sweat on your skin so that when the breeze hits you, you get extra cooling, I'd recommend a tighter fit.

    Rachel Bambrick, Ultrarunning coach & community leader

    Such a comfortable sun hoodie! I love that it works as a nice overlayer too for cooler race mornings.
