Great hoody with minor qualms
I’ve put this thing through the wringer. Recently, i I wore this hoody everyday for 15 days, half of which was spent paddling in Quetico Provincial park and the other half hiking in Olympic national park. It performed gallantly in both settings. Ultimately the shirt met its end after being eaten and regurgitated by a deer in the Olympics, bummed I have to shell out for another now. Qualm 1: kind of a spendy shirt (though worth it in my book). OR is often tough to size for me, I went with a medium on this one, which after breaking it in was the right call. Their Mediums tend to be too tight in the shoulders but just right everywhere else for my 6’2” 195 frame. Regardless, the shirt is awesome, breathes well, resists the stink of repetitive daily use, and has a super functional chest pocket and a deep hood. The ability to unzip the 1/4 zip chest is really great too. My only frustration was occasionally the size of the hood. It’s honestly a big enough hood to get around a climbing helmet, I’m sure by design, but that size hood doesn’t like to stay on a normal head or hat in windy conditions. The addition of a minimalistic draw cord to cinch it down a bit would be nice.
Interesting
I'll start by saying the material of this hoodie is very different than any other sun hoodie on the market. I'd best describe this as a stretchy thin soft shell jacket. It's not nearly as breathable as their echo hoodies but it's still very comfortable. Another thing that I appreciate is that this hoodie is definitely less dorky than most sun hoodies on the market. The hood itself is also shaped perfect for my noggin, Its very adjustable. With that being said, I'm 5'8 185lbs muscular and a size medium was definitely too small, it's tight around my upper body and when I raise my arms the fabric lifts up to my belly button. I'll be returning it, but I'm not too sure if I'll order a replacement.
Great so far
Love this piece so far. I'm 6'4", 250lbs and the XL fits me great. I typically need to order XLT shirts but this is sized well for me. Sleeves are good length but wouldn't have minded another inch. Thumb holes would have been nice. I have to maneuver a little to get it over my chest (46 inch) but it's not a problem, just noticeable. The material has a nice stretch to it. Might have a shirt on underneath or nothing under depending on temperature and wind. Love the hood fit with or without a hat. Zipped up the hood stays on well. Zippers work well. I've washed it several times now and the material and color still look new. Washing on delicate and hang dry. I like it so much I might get another.
Awesome ventilated sun hoody
This sun hoody made it an entire thru hike of the JMT and has no signs of wear even after being worn under a backpack the whole trip. There is minor pilling at the cuffs, but nothing to worry about. The ventilated sides are HUGE in letting a breeze through the jacket - a game changer when the sun gets oppressive at high elevation. The half-zip helps as well. Like most jackets made of this fabric, it does get a little smelly after a few days, and that smell tends to cling pretty hard - par for the course in the world of sun hoodies! I find it dries pretty quickly after a creek rinse.
Breaths well and keeps the sun at bay!
This does exactly what you want to do. It keeps the sun at bay! Super lightweight fabric that is soft on bare skin, although I tend to wear it with a T-shirt underneath. The hood fits easily over a ball cap and you can stretch it over a helmet although I would suggest wearing under. Different colors have different SPF properties so make sure you do your research before pulling the trigger. Great piece of kit to have your bag for hot summer days
Hands down one of the best items that we make
When I first bought this the Astroman Sun Hoodie I thought "Well this should just be an alright top." I didn't know that it would be one of my favorite tops of all time. It's light and airy, and just breathes so well. The hood is nice and loose so putting a hat underneath is no problem. It looks great as just a normal every day top, but is so well made that I don't know if I would want to summit a mountain without one. I love the hoodie so much that I have given 4 of them as gifts and they all love them. My only wish is that the Men's had thumb holes as well.
Decent
NO thumb holes!! I missed this in the description for this redesign. Alittle disappointed in that. All around good hoody, but would've been perfect with this little feature added. Fitment is alittle tight across back, so sleeves pull down over time. Thumb holes would've helped with that. Material is stretchy enough to not be uncomfortable, but noticeable. 5'10" 185lb muscular build. I'm normally a medium to large in sizing. I went with large. I'd error on sizing up if you're close.
These things rock for the long ventures outside!!
These sun goodies block the sun extremely well and they are super light and breathable. Barely feels like you are wearing a long sleeve/hoodie. The material is soft on the skin and packs down extremely well. When wearing a rock climbing helmet, the hood easily goes over and fits well over it so that I can protect my head and neck. If you are going to be outdoors for more than 3 hours with high exposure, these getting this sun hoodie is a must.
excellent fit, great in the sun, fabric abrasion
I love using this hoodie - had it on for sailing a lot of last summer. fit and cut are fantastic - as a thin lightweight garment it draped really well for 5'10" 220lbs. I've gotten leaner at 200lbs now and still looks like it fits really well. BEWARE the surface is extremely sensitive to abrasion - does not play well with backpacks. took it for a run today and the velcro on my hat kept clinging to it too.
One Star Taken, One Given Back
Wouldn't have any outdoor shirt or base layer without a zippered front to dump heat. The Astroman is about the only sun hoody on the market with this feature. For this reason I already have two and this is my third. Not only is this a great standalone sun hoody but makes a decent wind shirt over a light base layer during the shoulder seasons due to the tight weave of the material. This newer "Air" version has no thumb loops like my old versions so I'm taking one star away. I dont use thumb loops all the time, but it is a nice feature to keep the sun off the back of your hands, and I find myself using them more often especially when the sun is blazing down and I'm not actively using my hands. However, I'm adding that star back due to the updated construction and material in the armpits and down the sides which is a mesh like material to provide greater ventilation for those sweaty regions. Great product!
