Echo Hoodie - Women's

I like these so much, I bought three more

These are fantastic Sun shirts! I use them all over the US, but primarily Colorado and Tennessee - very different climates! I pull these out for everything from mowing the lawn to uphilling to hiking. They’re my go-to over my other Sun shirts because they’re so light. I run warm and rarely wear long sleeves in summer otherwise, but these give me a light base that I can layer over if I need to (e.g. in winter). I originally bought two of these. I love them so much, I just got three more. Will be taking them as my daily shirt for trekking in Nepal in November.

Awesome while it lasts

I bought this item at the beginning of the summer as I was primarily working outside. It is super breathable and was comfortable in 85+ degree humid weather. I found that it provided some protection from bugs (but not amazing if that's what you're looking for), but it is provided great sun protection. My only complaint is that it snags and pills extremely easily, so I have some concerns about long term durability, but overall this is a great product.

Perfect for a run

This is my wife's favorite running top. The material is breathable and has sun protection. The hood kept her warm on cold mornings. The long sleeves easily roll up when needed. She liked it so much she ordered a second hoodie.

Extremely Breathable and Lightweight

I LOVE this product however after my first hike the hoodie did start to pile where my backpack straps were. I'm worried that it might not last a long time but otherwise it was an amazing product!

Lightweight sun protection

Great hoodie for long hours in the sun, very lightweight and breathable and can be worn even on the hottest days. I liked the holes on the sleeves to lock your fingers, I work 8-10 hour days under the sun and do outdoor sports as well and when I wear gloves I want to make sure my sleeves don't ride up and expose my wrists for no reason. Product fits true to size.

THE BEST!

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

I own three of these hoodies and they are the best. I recently ran a 100 miler and used two of them. There a lot of sun hoodies out there, and this is the best one I have used. I will say they are not the most durable- the thumb holes on one of mine are pilled after using poles- but they perform well and are awesome. I think the hoodie runs a bit big. I am normally a L in tops and I got the L. I probably could size down to a M, but I prefer a bit oversized fit. I got the pebble color and it was great for my race!

My favorite sun shirt

I now have 3 of these and I wear them constantly for backpacking, biking, and running. They’re SUPER lightweight so you can actually wear them on hot days. They are only spf 15, but wayyy better than an spf50 shirt you overheat in and have to take off! It’s a bit fragile (catches on things) and thus won’t last forever, but I love it anyways!

super comfy on sweaty days

I use this for doing trailwork. I get dirty, sweaty, lots of sun. this is my favorite sun hoody by far. The material is light and does quickly without feeling gross while it's wet. the hood stays on in windy conditions yet i can still wear a ball cap underneath if I want to. my coworker says the neck is a little small when the good isn't up but I have never noticed it. light material, so not the most durable but ill keep buying them because of the comfort and fit.

Lightweight, but wish it was more durable

I pull out the Echo Hoodie on especially hot days when I need something extra lightweight. It’s breathable, quick-drying, and the hood adds good sun protection. The tradeoff is durability—it snags really easily on rock and gear, and I hate having to be careful with it. That said, it still holds up after snags. I’d love a version with tougher fabric.

My go to

My go to. Pros- lightweight, dries quickly, not overly fitted or too boxy, breathable, and fabric isn't scratchy or rubs in weird places. Cons- the price, and finding my size. This is one of the first things pulled out when packing for long hike or 14er.
