This sun hoodie/rash guard has many thoughtful, wearer-friendly features. The material is very light and airy, making it a good choice for the beach, camping, or even high-intensity outdoor activities . I selected the green color, which is a very neutral, grayish-green that appears pretty close to the product picture. It appreciate that this hoodie includes a dedicated ponytail opening in the hood, has long sleeves with thumb holes, and offers a surprisingly deep pocket (about the size of an adult hand). While it appears to run true to size, the fit is more athletic, so if you prefer a looser feel, I would definitely recommend sizing up one or even two sizes.

Finally! An SPF hoodie with a slot for a ponytail. I've avoided getting hoodies in sun-protective fabric because usually when I'm in the sun my hair is up and most hoodies are either too tight, or are uncomfortable with a ponytail so I wear a hat instead; kind of a hassle. The fabric of this shirt is cool and breathable and soft against your skin. The sleeves are also a great length. I have longer than average arms and many long-sleeves shirts run just a touch too short but not on this shirt. Another clever detail: what I thought was a manufacturing mistake is actually a flap on the left wrist for a wristwatch. This is a great shirt overall. I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 because I tend to wear a S/M and ordered a M because I plan to wear this over t-shirts, tank tops, swimsuits, etc., and this fits snugly. Just be aware that if you prefer your sun protection wear a bit looser-fitting, size up. Still a highly recommend item, though.

The UPF 50+ sun protection hoodie is going to be a staple since I have lupus sun sensitivity and love the outdoors. Hats off to the designers at Pioneer Camp for this long sleeve shirt since it has a flap at the back of the hood for air flow and it also doubles as a great way to wear headphones if you are carrying a back pack. It also has a pocket on one side with a plastic zipper and pull to carry chapstick, sunscreen or your phone.

The cut has darts for a woman’s body and although it is 100% poly, it feels like a slightly stretchy waffle cotton. The sleeves are slim fit although it also has ample room if you are into lifting. I normally wear a medium but ordered a large since I wanted the option to layer. I would consider this true to size for someone who is athletic since it is slim fit; it’s not square and baggy. I absolutely love that it has a peep hole for your watch and thumb holes to keep your sleeves down while being active. Since I have a newly developed thing for pink and have a pair of camo hiking pants, I am going to order a second shirt since the shirt is so functional and priced well. I love the feel of it on my skin too.
