Outdoor Research  Echo Hoodie - Men's

I have two of these and they’re my favorite by far. I use them as a base layer during the winter and then obvious for sun protection during summer months. Plus they’re great for the climbing gym. They do a solid job of wicking moisture and the hood is perfect when you want some ear coverage but don't want to get too warm with a beanie or an R1 hoody. I’m 5’9 at 140lbs and I like the small; gentle wash cycle and hang dry. Thinking about grabbing another one!

I own 4 of these. I like em. They are very comfortable. My only issue is that the material is very delicate . I’ve snagged these shirts with my fingernails. You have to be very careful with them. I’ve even had the material wear under my backpack straps.

I have two of these hoodies and one of the shirts - love them. The red is extremely visible and be spotted from high up and far off Suuuupppper disappointed that there is no red anymore so i will look elsewhere

I live in this thing! It's the perfect layer in every way: from sweaty days climbing in the full sun to backpacking, trail running, etc., it's a great layer that protects well from the sun and dries quickly. The original one I bought is around 5 years old, and it's kept its shape and has held up under demanding conditions quite well. I recently ordered another of the same size and color just to have on hand, but when I tried it on, it was excessively baggy throughout. I'm totally bummed. The size small fit me like a glove, but now it's way too big. Too bad OR doesn't make an XS... I'd be first in line, if so. What's with the change of dimensions? I'd highly recommend this hoodie with a big asterisk about sizing.

Just the perfect combination. Was worried because it had no half zipper to open up for ventilation. Surprisingly this shirt breaths very well. 3 hikes down and I am loving it.

This thing saved my skin in the backcountry of Glacier National Park during one of their hottest weeks this summer. The sun protection is excellent, and the fabric is so light and dries quickly to keep me cool. I have no idea why everyone in the world doesn't own a sun hoody. OR's version seemed like the best choice to me since it hits a sweet spot of fit, price, and features. Hood is perfect for under helmet. Raglan sleeves work great for my 6'3" 170lb +4 ape index arms, and the thumbholes are nice for that extra bit of sun protection. Body is blousy enough to catch a breeze and dry off rather than tightly sticking to your torso. Buy it, your skin will thank you.

While climbing in joshua tree i noticed our guides had long sleeved shirts. I asked them about the shirts and decided to get one myself. It is incredible. So breathable and light all while keeping me cool even in harsh southern California sunlight. Have taken it kayaking and climbing up a couple mountains and it performed great in both. I will definitely be getting more for future adventures.

I just bought my second echo, first hoodie, and I love it. First really sunny day in alaska out on the lake. Kept me very cool, no usual sunburn. The hood helped with wind and keeping those massive alaska mosquitoes out. The material is so soft, I never want to take these shirts off.

I use the echo hoodie for everything from trail running to mountain climbing to thru hiking to spring skiing. Personally, I love that it has no zippers or pockets. That keeps it uber light! Since it's so light, it dries extremely fast and it packs down to nothing. When your arms and neck are covered, you can bring less sunscreen. I only apply sunscreen to my face when I wear this hoodie, so that keI use the echo hoodie for everything from trail running to mountain climbing to thru hiking to spring skiing.

This top is super light and packs down to almost nothing yet provides a significant bump in feeling warm when needed. BUT, boy is it delicate. After just one wearing it has several pulled areas and pulls. Come on OR, I need this exact item but one that I can actually wear without it falling to bits.
