LUYAA Women's UPF 50+ Sun Protection Hoodie Breathable Stretch Hiking Shirts Long Sleeve for Running Outdoor Workout

I got turned on to wearing hoodies for hikes and backpacking trips during a river trip on the Grand Canyon several years ago, when many of the guides were wearing them for sun protection.Even in the summer, I prefer to run and hike in long sleeves because I'm just done with continued damage to my skin. Hoodies are great for protecting the sides of your face and neck from the sun, which are easily forgotten when applying sunscreen. And, you can still wear a baseball-type hat with them, which is what I do.Honestly, I wish these had been around when I was backpacking back in my 30's (25 years ago) and wearing tank tops, shorts and relying on sunscreen...which, quite frankly, doesn't protect adequately against sun damage.Lightweight, breathable clothing is much better. I love the fabric of this shirt - it's a textured knit weave that I can tell will breathe better than most of my existing hoodies, which are are a thin knit spandex type material. The fabric does not feel cheap like some really poor quality MiC clothing does.I ordered a size M, which fits true to size. It's not tight or too loose, and the length is good and butt-covering if you wear it with leggings. It could also be front-tucked into whatever type bottoms you're wearing and not be too bulky. The sleeves fit me perfectly, even with the thumbholes.If you wanted a more form-fitting top for running or cycling, going down a size would probably be perfect. I may order another in a size S just for that purpose.I ordered the purple-grey color, and it's beautiful! It looks pretty much identical to the color shown for the product photo. I prefer pullover stretch hoodies to button-up shirts for pretty much any outdoor activity because they're more comfortable and offer more sun protection...so, I may replace my remaining button-up hiking shirts with these.

I live in Florida and am outside alot. I was looking for something to protect me from the sun without being to hot. The fabric is nice and keeps you cool in the heat. I am tall and lanky and alot of times shirts are either too short in the sleeves or the torso. This shirt fit perfectlyand is fairly true to size. It is a nice lightweight material, Easy to clean, dries fast and good quality!

Very comfortable and light weight. Love the color. Thumb holes do need to be stretched out a little bit. Sleeve length was perfect for me which isn't usually the case.

I bought this to wear white water rafting due to the fact I have a history of melanoma. I ordered 2 sizes too big just for the extra comfort and I wanted it to not be clingy. I would normally be a L, but I bought the 2XL. The shirt provided great sun protection, the sleeves were plenty long, the hood covered my whole head with a bit of overhang (probably due to the extra sizing) but with the helmet I was wearing, I didn’t even use the hood. It easily dried out of the water and the material seemed to be a good quality. When wearing in a hot, humid environment, the shirt was pretty warm even due to the lighter fabric. I wasn’t concerned because I knew I would eventually be getting wet, but just wearing it out in the sun all day, and not having that coolness of the water, I’m not sure how long I could keep it on. I have washed mine in cold water, no fabric softener and hung to dry. No issues at all. Overall great shirt, would definitely buy them again. I would suggest getting one size bigger than normal if you want it to fit comfortably with no clinging, but 2 sizes if you want it to be longer to wear with leggings and to hang.

The item is perfect, fit color and texture, I will buy more in different colors. It very comfortable.

Nice material. I like the cut and feel on me. Give me a nice hour glass in the mid torso. However, it too long. I like it I might take it to the tailor to shorten it.

I got this for a trip to Costa Rica. It is light weight, covered my arms, quick dry and is very flattering. It was a good purchase. Medium fit perfectly.
