My daughter loves her new hoodie!
My daughter has had the Sahara hoodie for 2 weeks now, and she loves it. The material is super soft and comfortable. She already thinks about it as her “outside” shirt like mom and dad have. Great style, great fit, and we love the blue color. The 4T ran true to size and has held up well after a couple washes.
Great mid-layer for a busy toddler
My toddler gets hot easily and loves a mid-layer like this. Also, I have one really similar so it's a crowd pleaser :) I like this hoodie because of the sun shade aspect--one less thing to worry about! We recently traveled to the PNW and it was the perfect pullover for planes and the overcast/rainy weather. I could easily add a rain jacket or heavier layer on top without being too bulky. I've bought similar layers in the past from pricer brands, and I think the quality of this is just as good.
Great versatile sun protection for active littles
Great versatile shirt that works on the beach, in the mountains, or anywhere in between. This hoodie helps immensely with sun protection for the littles without overheating them, which is always a tricky balance to find. My toddler stays cool (or warm depending on the situation) in this, without minding wearing the hood. The material is stretchy enough to keep up with even the most adventurous of little ones.
Perfect light weight sun protection
I'm incredibly happy with both the quality and performance of this sun protection shirt for our kiddo. It is surprisingly light weight so our kid doesn't overheat but still provides adequate sun protection. The little hood is genius because we can put it on and then put her hat on top of it. So she has guaranteed protection on the back of her neck especially when she is hunched over playing.
