Recommendations on sun clothing/hoodie?

[Agross]

Been hot as hell around here lately, and this week is supposed to be worse. I work outside , and have a couple with no hoods, but wanted to try em with a hood.
Just jumped on Costco’s website and ordered three of the Eddie Bauer sun hoodies. On sale and if u buy three u get another ten dollars off. $31 OTD for three of em shipped.

I work as a noxious weed sprayer. Requires long sleeves at all times, so for the last six years I’ve been in a sun hoodie most everyday. I’ve tried most of the recommendations you’ve got from non hunting brands (usually cheaper).

My favorite and go to is the lightweight sun hoodie from free fly. I personally like the fit the best and natural materials tend to smell less for me. By the end of a hot day I find that every synthetic I have smells.

Any other cheaper bamboo options you tried?

I just ordered up a couple of these to try at $15. Alittle searching turns up 29% bamboo(Rayon) 67% polyester 4% spandex

"Bamboo cool" on Amazon is 47/47/6 and sounds like that will be high performing fabric 32$. there's also some 95-100% Viscose/Rayon options around 35$

I bought a several off Amazon for S2H. $15'ish. They're awesome. Nice loose/baggy fit even in my medium chunky frame. Just bought a couple more for my boy.

Free Fly is my current choice as well for similar reasons. I wear them Apr-Oct almost daily and have been through most of the major brands. Most sun shirts are composed of 90-100% polyester that are clammy, itchy, catch a smell quickly, and always end up giving me the impression of being hotter than other fabrics. SG, Sitka, Kryptek offerings all fall into this category for me. Born Primitive’s sun shirt used to be 100% Nylon, which I find better to a point, but they “improved” it to poly.

Form’s observation about synthetics wearing out quickly holds with sun shirts too (and I realize they have some poly in them.)

They also offer a substantial discount to mil/first responders.

Really like the new Stone Glacier sun hoodie. Found it to be very comfortable compared to 2 others I have
