Patagonia Men's Lightweight Sun Hoody

July 11, 2011

I've worn my hoody several times to the beach since receiving it and think it's great. It's comfortable with or without a shirt underneath. It was perfect for a stand up paddle. Quick drying and comfy. I'm 5'11" and 200 lbs so I ordered a size up (XL) because I wanted it to be a looser fit. Very happy with my selection!

Awesome Hoody

I bought this for my husband. He's worn it kayaking, boating, and for SUP. He commented that it was surprisingly light and airy on a hot, sunny day. Great protection from the sun and dries very quickly.

i like it

i'll try it out on the mountain tomorrow but it seemed pretty good wearing it for a bit this afternoon. fit is good, maybe a bit looser than i thought it would be for a patagonia regular fit. looks nice.

While a hoody in summer might seem silly

While a hoody in summer might seem silly- this is a great shirt. Very cool and comfortable- nicely cut for a "full-figured" male like myself. Have I worn the hood yet? Early in the day I did, but wore a sun hat when it got much warmer.

Worthwhile product

This pullover is the ticket to protection from the sun, even on hot days. The breathable fabric keeps you protected from the sun, yet cool. Previously, I found myself wearing heavier long sleeve tee shirts and flipping collars up in an attempt to protect my arms and neck from over exposure on long days outdoors. The hood works great, and, is light weight, yet sturdy. The pockets connect like regular hoodies, yet are not designed to carry much else things will slip out I highly recommend; you won't regret this purchase!

NICE

really a nice piece of gear. it breaths super well and feels great against the skin. this would be great protection from the sun on high altitude snow. i wish i had this when i spent a week on Rainier. the INSIDE of my ears were burnt. i'll have this for the next trip! dw

Great

This is my husbands favorite summer clothing item. He wears it doing yard work,running, & biking. It keeps him cool & protected. He usually orders med in Patagonia & the med in the hoody fits great. He has 2.

Another Great Patagonia product

Had my eye on the Patagonia Lightweight Sun Hoody for some time and finally pulled the trigger. Sorry I waited so long. I spend alot of beach time in Cape May, NJ with my family. The Sun Hoody is in my pack every trip to the beach. Great sun protection with out being too hot. The air flows this through this hoody to keep you cool and at the same time protected from the sun. The pocket on the front is an added feature. I liked it so much that I bought one for my two kids. Patagonia's quality and commitment to the environment is unmatched.

Prepared for Spring

I've just received my hoody today. Very good quality, very light, and very cool. I'm waiting for a better weather [Note: I live in South America, it's Fall now :-) ]

Perfect for sunny weather

Received my new sun hoody and wore it this weekend. The fabric is very lightweight and comfortable. The fit is generous with the sleeves being a bit long but the cuffs are easily turned up.

Comfortable, typical high end Patagonia quality. Could use monkey cuffs and maybe a deeper blue color, but overall i like it! Definitely something that you can wear in warmer weather.

Smooth Hoodie

Nice lightweight Hoodie. Not bulky, very good feel. Fit is roomy. Good sun protection I like it. Silky smooth, not for warmth cool color. Would be great for beach as sun setting.

Lightweight and comfortable

Bought this a few weeks ago and have worn it almost everyday. It is a great hoody to throw on after work or wear around town. Super lightweight and comfortable. Not the warmest layer but works well for a mild day and well with sun. Thumb holes would be a nice addition as with the other similar Patagonia hoody, maybe next year. All-in-all,I would certainly buy this again.

Another great patagonia product

I have another Patagonia hoody in a fleece and purchased the new hoody which has 30 UPF which is important as I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico where there is intense sun. Looks great. Fog gray is a really attractive color. It fits true to size and I am a mens small. Wore it on a long hike on a warm day and it is a very light fabric and a perfect cover up for a spring/summer garment. I have many Patagonia products and they have yet to disappoint me.

Best sun shirt available
March 14, 2011

This shirt is a must have if you plan to spend any time in the sun. It breathes and dries extremely well. The hood is essential on those hot Texas days when it feels like your brain is gonna bake in your skull.

Nice top
March 13, 2011

This is my second sun hoody. The first edition had thumbholes and a small zippered pocket, but no kangaroo pouch. I miss the thumbholes, but prefer the pouch over the zippered pocket. This garment runs a little large as did the first edition, so I ordered down (6'2" 180lbs and the M fits me well). This garment vents well, sheds light mist and dries rather quickly. I use both for running and casual wear. The hood is functional; you will use it more frequently than you realize.

Grows on you

Hello When first purchased I was unsure of uses. Don't think of it as insulation. Sun protective, light , baselayer that dries very fast. This hoody has become my goto warm weather piece. Fishing,canoeing,kayaking, beach :) Buy it.

excellent hoodie; light and casual
