"I’ve been on a quest for the perfect hoodie for camping and canoeing, and this is by far my favourite. The fabric is buttery soft, so soft I really look forward to putting it on. It performs well as a layer to keep you warm, but also as a protective layer when out in the sun. The design is spot on, from the finger holes to the shape of the hood, great full coverage while I’m canoeing in the backcountry. I purchased the XL as I don’t like form fitting gear, it’s not oversized, and the cut is very flattering. The quality is absolutely there too. It’s not an ultralight hoodie but definitely top in class for a medium to lightweight layer. Loved it so much I bought a second."

"Once upon a time, I used to make fun of hikers who wore sun hoodies. “That’s preposterous!” I said. My ridicule only increased when I heard some were made of wool. Seriously??!! How on earth could a wool long sleeve hoodie not make the sun 200 times worse?! I bought one of these this summer specifically for the purpose of proving that these were a sham. I was salivating at my chance to write a scathing, negative review. Alas, I am here to eat my words by the truckload. My husband and I did the Tour du Mont Blanc (100 mile hike), and this hoodie did some weird voodoo magic because it kept me cool and shaded from the sun like nothing else. I can’t explain it. I don’t understand the mechanics, but it absolutely & completely worked. I am now a believer and would like to be buried in this hoodie. My apologies to those I made fun of. Ibex, you will have my business forever."

"This hoodie is perfect for sun protection and can also serve as another layer in cooler weather. I haven't liked hoods in the past with my longer hair, but the hoodie on this top is great."

"I want to get this hoodie in all colors. It is a beautiful weight. It looks nice enough to wear to work but also I play hard in it. The hoodie seems to be very durable. It is my go to for mountain biking and hiking layers. I also wore this layer everyday on a vacation to the Caribbean as a sun layer. I swam with it. It provided great sun protection and was light enough to be comfortable."

"Great sun shirt and baselayer."

"Im very impressed with this and would love to see more colors. I am prone to overheating, and I wore this all afternoon, mushroom foraging in the sun, on a warm day. Not only did I keep relatively cool, but I also was completely protected from the sun. Honestly, I was amazed at its functionality. Appreciate the longer sleeves and body length, too. 5'9", 145lbs, medium. Just right."

"great color and fit. soft, comfy."

"This Springbok sun hoody is a delightful garment for Spring and late Fall into a mild Winter (with a vest) for walking, city walking, outdoor dining when it’s cooler but in direct sun, high altitude hiking, or when it’s windy and cool. I actually LOVE this thing as it looks and feels great on. It’s quite versatile! For me personally, it doesn’t work for Summer activities where there is the potential to over-heat. That’s fine, I have other super light sun hoodies for the heat of summer. It’s sharp looking, fits spot on being not skin tight nor baggy and oversized. It’s dressy enough to wear on the town for a casual supper. (Mine has not pilled). The light blue is a perfect neutral. I’d buy another. Fit; I’m 5’4, 113lb, 34A, 27, 36 and Small fits exactly right with sleeves long enough. Tuck or untucked it looks and feels great on!"

"I took this Sun Hoodie out for a test hike, came home and ordered a second one in a different color. So soft, well made and worth every penny! I’m only taking two tops on my 6 week Camino Frances and it’s these two!"
