Hoody Shirt
Such a versatile top that works great for days on the beach when it warm or when it sunny on the trail and cool. It has a super soft and comfortable feel while being breathable and stretchy. The hood fits well and doesn’t look weird when worn or strangle you when it’s down like on some other hoody shirts.

“Shoodie”
One of my favorite sun hoodies I have ever own! It feels so soft against my skin. I love not having to rub on sunscreen all the time. Keep this puppy on while you’re out having fun in the sun. Fit is great and works well with a hat on, doesn’t push down on your hat brim like other brands do. Thumb holes are great, arm length is great. 220 lbs, 6ft and wear a size large…fit is true to size.

Great Sun Hoody--Excellent neck coverage
This hoody is better than most because it keeps your neck covered and has properly fitted thumb holes to keep your wrist covered as well. The fit of the hood is outstanding

Really nice sun shirt
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- XL
I went on a tear and bought a bunch of different long sleeve sun shirts and the Crater Lake is my favorite so far. I bought a few Freefly shirts, OR ActiveIce and OR Echo shirts. The Echo is the lightest but the sun protection is low so I only wear it if it's overcast. The ActiveIce is heavier and less breathable but still really nice, the Freefly shirts are very breathable and comfortable but they also don't offer the same sun protection.
