What is your favorite sun hoodie?
|
Honestly, I tried a lot of sun hoodies after having to shelf my first one. I ended up re-upping on the BD Alpenglow (not pro). The hood is nice and spacious, and honestly, I like the fabric. Maybe I'm just used to it. |
|
has anyone tried this? I like the idea of being able to vent through the front buttons. |

BD Alpenglow Pro if I'm wearing a shirt underneath. Regular BD Alpenglow with no shirt underneath. Rab Pulse hoody for super hot weather, but it's very prone to snagging on things. |

For the Europeans amongst us I can totally recommend Decathlon's anti-UV fishing shirt. It has a white option, a nice loose hood, is very breathable and costs 18£ in the UK / 20€ in Germany. It served me great while climbing in Spain this year. Later today I will report back whether the hood fits over a helmet. Edit: Yes! https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/fishing-anti-uv-t-shirt-500-with-hood-upf-50-green/_/R-p-329166 |

Had a BD - it was pretty good but stretched a lot. Just bought mountain hardwear and love it. |

Between personal climbing and guiding I wear the rei basic sun hoodie probably around 300 days a year

Any experiences with the Stio Vescent hoodie? |

I’ve been using freefly apparel bamboo sunhoodies for years now. They are a fishing brand solid sun performance, comfortable, and they hold up well after getting beat up. Couple holes from crack climbing will show but they last. I have moved away from climbing brand sun hoody’s and pants, I feel they are overpriced and fall apart. I sweat a lot and the bamboo material breathes well. |
