Unbeatable UPF 50+ sun protection, so you can spend more time visualizing your route and less time worrying about sunburns. Because, "too much of a good thing is bad for you," is true for a lot of things (like sun exposure and harmful UV rays), but the protective strength of your clothing isn't one of them. That said, take this hoody and go out and do a lot of what you love to do. Climb after climb, it gives you the highest level of softness, range of motion, and all-around comfort.

We love this superbly comfortable top from Mountain Hardwear. The Crater Lake Hoody has just about everything you could want in a sun shirt. It protects you from the sun with 50+ UPF fabric, has a lightweight hood that fits under a helmet, and sports thumbholes you can use no matter how long your arms are. Made of a soft, silky polyester/elastane blend, the Crater Lake is ridiculously stretchy and insanely comfortable. It's thin enough that it's both absurdly lightweight and shockingly breathable without being see-through. It's one of the few shirts we happily wore under the blazing sun without rolling up the sleeves &mdash; and that's saying something. This excellent shirt also features a zipped hip pocket and the option to cinch the bottom closed, like your favorite jacket, which comes in handy for inverted activities like climbing and yoga. It's no wonder this stellar piece wins our top award yet again.
The Crater Lake does run a bit large in our experience. Our main tester is 5'4" and 120 lb and rocked the XS with plenty of room to spare &mdash; even considering her self-described "ape arms." And while we love the super stretchy nature of this shirt, it does stop you from comfortably using the hip pocket for something heavy like your cell phone. As with any hooded shirt with thumb holes, this top offers a fairly specific look that might not fly in the workplace unless it's Casual Friday. All in all, however, we love this sun shirt, and it quickly became one of our go-to pieces for everything from yoga to biking to gardening.

I was looking for a more comfortable, sporty, breathable sun shirt for hiking than the button-down fishing shirts I usually wear. 

The pros: This shirt is very breathable and the fabric is incredibly soft and light. It is very comfortable. The print is also more subtle in person than in the pictures, which I like.

Very comfy and light, but pilled almost immediately.

Did not have pattern on it as pictured-item received was just all solid colored. Still a great fit and product but FYI if anybody else orders

Color not as pictured

Love this hoodie! I bought it for backpacking but have worn it about every other day since receiving it. It is soooo soft and the fit is flattering. I originally purchased a  Large but it was too big and returned for a medium which fits perfect and is still looses enough to feel flowy and  breezy. For reference, I typically wear a medium in shirts/flannels/mid-layers

 I'm 5' 00", 150  lbs (athletic build), 36 DD chest. And the  purple tie-dye is  super cute! I wish MH made this in  some  brighter high-vis colors for  road cycling!

I wish MH made this in  some  brighter high-vis colors for  road cycling!

Flowy and breezy, super softy

  Also, the fabric had permanently stretched out in some spots under the backpack's straps. So disappointed because it was perfect in every other way.  It just won't last under a pack.

Subject to shear and stretch damage

 Also, the draw cord would sit right underneath the hip belt for my hiking pack so I would have to either pull it up or down to keep it from creating a rub spot. If they’re looking for a feminine detail perhaps a gentle scallop or subtle lace detail around the hood opening…? Or a subtle curved hem at the bottom without the drawstring. 

 The fit in the body was pretty good (I’m a 34C in the bust, ordered Med), but wish the sleeves were a little longer. When using the thumb holes I can feel the material pulling across my shoulders when I reach forward. (I have broad shoulders and long arms- The large in the smoky quartz was great in the shoulders and sleeve length but big in the body/chest) Wish the sleeves had a curved hem to cover the backs of hands or finger holes to hold it over the backs of the hands. 

With all that being said this is still one of the best efforts I’ve seen for a sun protection shirt that actually looks somewhat feminine and not just like a piece of athletic gear.

 The smoky quartz was not great with my skin tone. Wish they had more bright/jewel tone colors instead of earth colors. The fit in the body was pretty good (I’m a 34C in the bust, ordered Med), but wish the sleeves were a little longer. When using the thumb holes I can feel the material pulling across my shoulders when I reach forward

Almost perfect...

 This is exactly what I was looking for to cover the back of my neck and head and not worry about getting sunburned, I wore it all day and it protected me!

 The pocket is handy but small, big enough for a key and id but not a phone. I think the fit is a little large and roomy but the fabric is so silky it doesn’t get in the way or chafe. This is exactly what I was looking for to cover the back of my neck and head and not worry about getting sunburned, I wore it all day and it protected me!

Cool and comfy

This shirt is so cute and the material is amazing to the feel. It’s so delicate though. I only wore once and already got snags and frays. I wanted it for work in the field but I can tell it’s going to be a short lived item of clothing

Women’s crater lake hoody

First off, the good: the actual design of the hoody is great. It's loose enough to breathe on a hot hike, form fitting enough to be flattering, stretchy enough to be comfortable. The red color looks great, the hood fit is fantastic, and the fabric is thin enough to breathe well.

 The waist already developed holes where the backpack hip strap clip was. To me, that is completely unacceptable for a product in this price range. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a product that can actually last more than two wears.

Extremely poor durability

Fits like a dream, feels like silk, and it's lightweight as a feather. And has sun protection? More, please! I was hesitant to buy this because it has a hood which I'll likely never use, but once the shirt is on you don't even know it's there. Though a bit pricier than other UPF shirts you'll see on Amazon, I suggest choosing one of these over a bundle of the cheaper ones. You won't be sorry

The Outdoor Research Ferrosi Hoodie is a fantastic value. It ticks nearly every box that a durable wind layer for climbing or hiking should. It is lightweight, wind-resistant, breathable, abrasion-resistant, and highly stretchy. It has great features for the price &mdash; including a pocket that doubles as a stuff sack, so you can clip your jacket to your harness when not in use. It moves incredibly well, owing to the ultra-stretchy fabric, and even though it isn't very water-resistant, it is among the fastest drying active softshells in our review. It even has UPF-50 fabric to protect your skin from the sun. Add to all of this the fact that it is a very affordable jacket, and it is no wonder why this jacket is the staple softshell for most outdoor adventure nerds.
Our reviews wouldn't be objective if we ignored a product's flaws, and the Ferrosi is not without its minor caveats. Compared to other softshells, it has below-average water resistance, but it does dry quickly and offers great 3-season protection. The fit is a little on the boxy side, so if you're between sizes, you might consider sizing down. We also wish that the hand pockets were accessible while wearing a harness or the hip belt of a backpack. All these concerns aside, the Ferrosi is a great breathable, wind-resistant option at a fantastic price for hiking, climbing, and cycling.

The Outdoor Research Echo Hoodie has some unique features that make it an excellent addition for any activewear junkie. First, this lightweight sun top has switched from the fold-over cuffs of old to well-designed thumbholes that are comfortable to wear, even when on the move. Secondly, the Echo has a hole in its hood for your ponytail. Though this isn't the most stylish look, it certainly is very functional. Beyond these two unique features, this hoody is absurdly lightweight and impressively breathable. It is one of only a couple of shirts we tested that we could comfortably wear in the hot sun without pushing up the sleeves &mdash; precisely why it's great for days when you're pushing hard or in more intense heat. 
For all its other utilities, the Echo lacks pockets and has the lowest UPF value of any sun shirt we tested; just 20 for dark colors and only 15 for light colors. Most others are 35-50+, so this is underwhelming. And while we adore the breathability of this thin, quick-drying fabric, it's not particularly smooth, and we've had repeated issues with snagging in past versions. Though this current version didn't snag during our testing, it's made of the same fabric, so we expect the same to occur. Still, while the Echo may not continue to look pristine through the years, the quirky traits this top brings to the table make it super useful &mdash; and we love the bold colors it comes in too.

The Outdoor Research Carbide shines in its extremely breathable and comfortable shell material. The 3L Pertex shield material is one of the most breathable and comfortable materials we've worked with. The DWR coating of this material is also convincing, providing excellent weather protection for its weight. Combine all of this with ski-specific features to take you from the resort to the backcountry, and you have a stellar value for an excellent price. 
While this stretchy 3L provides excellent breathability and water resistance, we did feel the more biting winds permeate this thin material. This more backcountry-oriented shell is so thin that we have some questions about how it will hold up to the test of time, but after over a month of use, we have no reason to believe it will perform poorly. If we had just one wish for this jacket, it would be that the powder skirt was removable. This upgrade would knock this jacket out of the park. These small criticisms aside, we believe the Carbide performs similarly to many high-end shells on the market at a fraction of the price. 

The Outdoor Research Aspire continues to impress us. It scores high marks across the board; from water resistance to breathability, it comes fully equipped with all the bells and whistles. It's an impressive contender, proudly sporting a smooth, soft fabric and flattering fit. The substantial Gore-Tex, Paclite integrated fabric design will withstand and keep you protected from even the heaviest of downpours. It comes fully featured with reinforced, sealed seams and water-resistant zippers. It also sports an adjustable hood, hip cinches, and both elastic and Velcro to seal around your wrists to keep you protected in inclement weather. Being so watertight might sound awfully stuffy, but don't be fooled; the pit vents extend the full length of this jacket and can be fully opened either from the top or poncho-style from the bottom for a quick and easy way to shed excess body heat &mdash; and are surprisingly comfortable. When it comes to balancing protection and performance, the designers have covered their bases, with the Aspire earning our highest accolades for its design, fit, and performance.
Weighing 11.4 ounces, the Aspire is one of the heavier jackets we tested. Considering all the extra zipper length on the full-length side vents as well as the waterproof, dual-direction main zipper, we think this weight is justifiable. It also packs down into its own pocket, complete with a clip for easy attachment to your harness or pack. For an impressive merging of wind and water protection with serious breathability, look no further.

 So some basic design features on how the fro Z was put together. You can see the two different two different colors here, and that is kind of setup is two different types of fabric. The body of this piece in the darker color across the back is extremely breathable. So if you're wearing a pack against this you're going to get a lot of moisture, vapor passing through you're, not going to have that same feeling, you get under a hard shell, where you're wearing a packer just sweating like crazy

 Maybe somebody who's doing some cross-country. Skiing and warmer weather somebody who's doing a lot of rock climbing, and I think, I'm just for general hiking and backpacking to be very comfortable piece to wear under a pack.

Outdoor Research Women's Ferrosi Hoody

 It is a wonderful weight, not too heavy, but not so light that it isn't helpful. The sleeve length works really well for me so it's comfortable using the thumb holes or not. It's got the right amount of stretch to be comfortable worn inside as a hoodie, or outside as a wind, water and abrasion resistant light jacket. I'm 5'7", 140# with and athletic build and often struggle to find a good fit because of broad shoulders, but the small fits me well

Even better than expected

 My only complaint is that the XS is pretty big on my 5'1, 98 lb frame (it looks like I'm wearing somebody else's jacket). I kept the jacket anyway because it's useful and fills a necessary hole in my jacket lineup--perfect for the windy days we get in Colorado.

Great, just a little big

This is my all-time favourite jacket for field work in the summer months (I am a biologist). It is very durable! I have to pass through barbed wire fences and bushwhack through the forest so my field work clothes get trashed - this is the first jacket I have owned that has not been a victim to fences and the forest! I have gotten it caught on the barbed wire fences and forest branches many times but have not had a hole yet - only snags. It it not completely waterproof, but if you got stuck in a light rain and quickly hike back to the truck, you are not soaking wet. This jacket is also very light weight which I love - perfect for when the bugs are bad on a hot summer day

My all-time favourite jacket!

 Working I'm inside outside back and forth all day long. Rain takes a long time to soak through, they dry instantly, and they move with me. A light puffy fits underneath when the temps drop. I run in them with a light base layer in western Washington winters
