This sun hoodie is a game changer! I wore this on a 15-mile bike ride in the desert and I was not overheated or sunburned. I was comfortable and I looked good! The hood is thin enough to wear under my helmet for full protection. The fabric wicks sweat beautifully. I wore nothing but a bra underneath. I wore it the whole camping trip and washed it out each night."
"I was skeptical. I've tried other UV clothing and it's always unbearable in the heat. I ordered almost as a last resort after another bad burn. Within the first week working in my garden, I realized I hadn't thought about sunscreen once. Three months later, I've ordered two more colors."
"This hoodie protected my arms while dead-heading the rose garden. Not one scratch on my arms. Lightweight and cool fabric was perfect on a hot day."
"I've recently been diagnosed with skin cancer so I have to wear long sleeves in the summer which proves to be quite hot and sticky in a lot of UV protection clothing. Not this hoodie, I can work for hours in the Florida sun in this jewel! Thank you so much Farmers Defense!"
"I got this to protect me from the sun and to protect my arms while working in the yard. I was surprised at how comfortable this hoodie is. It really did help cool me down in the hot and humid weather. The material is very soft. And it's so beautiful! I definitely plan to buy more colors in the future."
