Four reasons this becomes the only hoodie you reach for.
Designed with real gardeners and tested through five Santa Cruz growing seasons. Every detail solves a problem you've actually had.
01
Blocks 98% of UV Rays
Tested to UPF 50+ by an independent lab, these sleeves intercept 98% of UVA and UVB radiation before it touches your skin. That means real protection through peak hours, not just light filtering.
02
Stops Scratches & Thorns
Tight-knit fabric creates a barrier between your forearms and whatever you're pruning, trellising, or harvesting. Roses, squash leaves, tomato suckers — none of it reaches skin.
03
Lighter Than a T-Shirt
Four-way stretch knit engineered from recycled REPREVE® fibers weighs under 12 oz. So light you'll forget you're wearing it .
04
Stays Put — Thumb Loop
Slip on over any shirt and anchor the thumb loop. The hoodie stays in place whether you're reaching overhead, kneeling in beds, or carrying flats. No bunching, no slipping.
Built from REPREVE®. Because it performs better that way.
- Made from 100% recycled plastic bottles — certified by REPREVE®
- Four-way stretch moves with every reach, kneel, and carry
- Moisture-wicking keeps you dry when the work heats up
