Men's Sunshade Hooded Tech Shirt
This technical hoodie was designed for fishing the flats in the hottest conditions.
Just imagine how cool it will feel sailing, paddling or just hangin' at the beach.
Consider this shirt's super powers: super light, super breathable, super quick-drying, super sun protection. The only thing missing from this technical hoodie is an S on the chest and your favorite super hero inside. To just say that Patagonia's Sunshade Hooded Tech Shirt is super light doesn't convey how ultralight it truly is. Weighing in at a you'll-hardly-notice-you-even-have-it-on weight of 7.5 ounces (less than two sticks of butter), this sun shirt supplies all the breathable, 50+ UPF sun protection your upper body needs to not only survive, but thrive in those sweltering days out fishing the flats on your skiff. Damaging UV rays don't stand a chance with a hood that shields your head and neck and fits over your favorite fishing cap and includes thumb holes on the cuffs to make sure the sleeves cover the backs of your hands. All this plus it's made with fabric that's certified as bluesign® approved (more on that below) so you know you're minimizing your impact on Mother Earth. 3.5oz., 100% polyester double knit. Imported.
50+ UPF
The Sunshade Hooded Tech Shirt features a sun protection rating of 50+ UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor), which means only 1/50th of the sun's UV rays that fall on the surface will pass through and reach your skin. The sun protection is built-in so, unlike messy sunscreen, it won't wear off or need to be reapplied throughout the day.
