Hoody Shirt
Such a versatile top that works great for days on the beach when it warm or when it sunny on the trail and cool. It has a super soft and comfortable feel while being breathable and stretchy. The hood fits well and doesn’t look weird when worn or strangle you when it’s down like on some other hoody shirts.

“Shoodie”
One of my favorite sun hoodies I have ever own! It feels so soft against my skin. I love not having to rub on sunscreen all the time. Keep this puppy on while you’re out having fun in the sun. Fit is great and works well with a hat on, doesn’t push down on your hat brim like other brands do. Thumb holes are great, arm length is great. 220 lbs, 6ft and wear a size large…fit is true to size.
The best OR hoodie for hot dry weather
I pivoted from thinking people wearing sun hoodies looked strange and ninja-like to owning several after I tried one! I have worn all three OR men's sun hoodies over three years in dry conditions over 7000 feet (2100m) in Colorado in all seasons. My favorite for hot weather is actually the OR Spectrum ActiveIce hoody. While it feels heavy on the skin at first and does not have the perforations of the Echo hoody, it is surprisingly cooler. Over the past few days, I have been feeling amazingly cooler wearing it mountain biking in 90-degree F at 7600' versus a thin cycling jersey with uncovered arms. The Echo fabric is lighter and feels softer, but the skin on my arms feels hotter than in the Spectrum. The ActiveIce technology seems to actually do what they say it does. I find the Astroman hoody to create a crinkling sound in my ears that obscures my hearing and distracts from the silence; the fabric is stiffer, so I only use it in very windy conditions or under a tight helmet.
my faviorite sun hoody!
I have had a bit of a challenge finding a sun hoodie that is extra soft on the skin. This hoodie has limited stitching in the front, where I find other products give me irritation. Kept me cool and protected on my lates summer alpine hike
Great sun protection!
I purchased this shirt to hike R3 at the Grand Canyon. It’s my first OR purchase and I love it. Light weight, good stretch, and excellent sun protection. I will be buying other colors for this summer.
Good fit and quality
Snug but stretchy. High quality material and the hood is just the right size for me. Thumb holes are helpful for active times. I wear this for many types of activities and it very versatile.
Great Sun Hoody--Excellent neck coverage
This hoody is better than most because it keeps your neck covered and has properly fitted thumb holes to keep your wrist covered as well. The fit of the hood is outstanding

Love these sun hoodies!
Very comfortable, and provides excellent sun protection. I wear mine rafting, paddling and fly fishing. The fabric has a nice feel and looks good too.

Soft and Comfortable
Wore this at the beach and on the range and the shirt isn't scratchy and does a great job at keeping me cool while sweating in the sun!

Perfect for sunny activities
Love this hoodie! Keeps me protected from the sun and it’s not too hot. Enjoy the pop of color as well
