There are lots of sun hoodies out there...this is my favorite.
Pros
- Soft hand
- Light weight
- Excellent fit
- Fast drying
- Sun protection
Cons
- Possible long-term durability
This is my third sun hoody after the Black Diamond Alpenglow and Bight Gear Solistice Graphene, both of which I liked. However, the Crater Lake is my favorite due to its super soft and lightweight stretchy quick drying fabric, and a better fit overall.
The size of the hood is similar to the Bight‘s (not overly loose/large) but I prefer the MH chin design/coverage and shorter tail length (I’m 5'9", size Med).
Similar to the Bight it has thumb holes to help protect the back of the hands when needed. Cost is reasonable.
Background
I have used the hoody a couple of years. It has held up well so far.
