Sun hoodies might look like a niche bit of outdoor kit, but they're one of the easiest ways to stay comfortable in hot weather. They have been popular among anglers, desert hikers, thru-hikers and mountaineers for well over a decade.
One of the many benefits of sun hoodies is that the hood shields your neck and ears, the long sleeves protect your arms, and the lightweight fabric wicks moisture away from the skin. You'll still want sunscreen on exposed areas such as your face and hands, but a sun hoodie can dramatically reduce how much you need to use.
