User Review: Patagonia Men's Lightweight Sun Hoody

Rating: rated 5 of 5 stars
Source: received it as a personal gift

Summary

One of the best tech shirts you can (and should) buy.

Pros

  • Very lightweight
  • Smooth against skin
  • Hood for sun protection

Cons

  • Smell due to synthetics

Living in SoCal, sun protection is key. The quest is always on to find something lightweight but longsleeves.

This shirt has all of that in spades. I remain cool despite having long sleeves, the hood is great to keep the sun off the back of my neck and isn't too obtrusive when hiking.

The only downside, as with all synthetics, is that the odor builds up for multiple uses between washings. It's really not as bad as other synthetics and the positives significantly outweigh this one negative. Definitely a must pick up!
