"Really love this hoodie. Just used it on a majority of days on a 3 week bike tour in NZ. It was a bit warm climbing in the direct sun but otherwise was th right piece of gear 90% of the time. Only complaint is that the sun faded the fabric pretty significantly on all parts of the hoodie that had direct contact to skin. So, arms and shoulders mostly. Imagine I will be re-dying it soon."
"In high school, my mom gifted me a ~150gsm hooded base layer from Ibex. I wore that base layer running, hiking, skiing -- pretty much anytime I was in the mountains or moving in colder temps. It was my absolute favorite. As will happen with wool, a few years post college (10+ years later) the shirt had seen it's final wear. I've been looking for that hoodie for close to 10 years. I've had other merino wool hooded base layers, but they were either too tight, too thick, too thin. When I saw the Springbok Sun Hoodie on ibex, I was filled with hope. Three months into owning this piece, my search is over. For ski tours, days on the resort, jogs before or after skiing, long runs, and lounging in the long johns (my preferred state of being), this hoodie is the best. It's light enough to be a sun hoodie, it's warm enough to be a base layer or only layer during aerobic activities. This will certainly be my most worn piece of clothing over the next decade. THANK YOU."
"This was my go to shirt on a two month hike, bike and trail running road trip last summer. The weight was perfect for the sun during the day while still warm in the evening. Much more comfortable than synthetics along with all the other benefits of merino wool. I'm 5'10" 190. Both the large and xl fit."
"Perfect for any temperature. Great to lounge around in or use as a layer for a cold outdoor adventure."
