Recommendations on sun clothing/hoodie?

[RockAndSage]

Anyone try out different sun hoodies and have a recommendation? Looking for something suitable for hunting and scouting in the high desert.

The Eddie Bauer Costco sun hoodies discussed on another thread have been nice. No complaints. Good colors. Good price.

I’ve also been using this Amazon find for last 2 years: slightly thicker weight yarn, but not as dense a weave. Very light and airy, and has held up very well to abrasions. The “rescue orange” color is pretty bright, but not a true blaze/hunter orange. The yellow, is pretty close in color to my brothers rural firefighting shirts. https://a.co/d/006Y8RqX

If you like natural fibers, the Kuiu merino quarter zip sun hoodie gave about 2 years of good wear before developing holes under bino straps. But very comfortable. https://www.kuiu.com/products/ultra-merino-145-zip-t-hoodie-valo-camouflage?variant=40536254972062

I've been pleased with Kuiu's tiburon line. I would highly recommend researching hood designs because you really, really need face protection when you're sitting and glassing for long periods of time. Otherwise, you'll look like your face has been belt sanded. Please don't ask how I know this. A substantial portion of my posterior is still growing back after the ass chewing my wife gave me when I returned home from a spring bear hunt.

Aftco makes some pretty solid products for sun, though they are geared more towards fishing. I have been extremely impressed with their stain resistance as well. My wife has a white one that still looks new after 4-5 years of use.

Sitka equinox guard & core lightweight hoodies have both worked well for me

Two thumbs way up for Simms Solarflex hoody.

I have 3 of them and love them for wading the flats in hot places to rowing the drift boat on sunny days in AK.

The hood is really well designed and large enough that it doesn’t feel restrictive in anyway.

The sleeves are long and come with loops for your thumb and middle finger to keep the sun off of the backs of your hands.

Awesome shirts.

Columbia PFG are a good deal when on sale.
Scheels branded ones are identical material and even cheaper.

Bassdash. Super inexpensive, awesome, and they have a ton a colors including camo. I no longer even look at designer hunting clothing companies.
