This lightweight sun hoodie will make it easy to focus on the fish, not whether or not you need to reapply your sunscreen for the fifth time today. The breathable and quick-drying fabric is easy to wear in warmer weather, and the UPF sun protection works hard to shield your skin from harmful UV rays.

I really like the way the white color looks, and it does seem to partially resist staining. Even though I prefer a more tailored fit, this isnt too baggy and is a reasonable size for a "relaxed fit". I question the lightweight/breathable description though. I bought this for working on the roof after being impressed with how well products like the Buff UV net work to keep you cool in direct sun. After throwing this on you can immediately feel the humidity build up inside and it doesn't really breathe well enough to equalize that. It's also a bit heavy/thick. Lastly, when you put on a buff, you can feel your head/neck cooling off in direct sunlight. This shirt doesn't seem to reflect UV like that , I'm guessing it's just thick enough to block the rays from your skin, rather than reflect them? It still heats up. If anyone has suggestions on something like this that is essentially just a hoodie made of buff UV net material, that would be what I'm looking for as lightweight and breathable :)
