Solstice Merino Sun Hoodie FAQs
-
Our Solstice Sun Hoodies have been tested at 35+ UPF in a lab. The UPF rating indicates the amount of UV rays that can pass through a fabric to your skin. A UPF of 35 allows 1/35th of UV rays to pass through (about 2.9%). Most people will find 35+ UPF provides plenty of sun protection even if they’re out in full sun all day.

While many people think of Merino wool as a cold weather fabric, lightweight Merino clothing performs well in hot weather. Our Merino wool fabric is lightweight, breathable, temperature regulating, moisture wicking and odor resistant, so it’s the perfect material for summer sun protection. For the most ventilation, our Solstice Pro Sun Hoodies have a quarter zip.

Whatever feels best to you. We wear them both ways depending on the temperature and what we’re up to. They’re made of super soft Merino that feels great directly against your skin.

The Solstice Sun Hoodie is our original bestselling sun hoodie. It’s about as simple as a sun hoodie could be, and that’s what we love about it. It has a big hood, drawstrings to cinch the hood down, a roomy fit and thumb holes to keep your hands covered too. The newer Solstice Pro Sun Hoodie has a few extra features—a smaller hood with a low-profile hood cinch, a chest pocket and a half zip for more ventilation. Both have 35+ UPF.

Our athletes have put our sun hoodies through the wringer doing things like thru-hiking the PCT, but the Solstice isn’t just for hiking. It’s a great sun protective option for rock climbing, mountaineering, running, cycling, mountain biking, horseback riding, gardening and hunting. And in everyday life, it’s perfect for outdoor work days, sporting events, sunny brewery days and more. It’s a popular travel piece too.

The Solstice Sun Hoodie has an oversized, relaxed fitting hood for full sun protection. To make sure it stays on when you’re moving, pull the drawstrings tight and tie them together. The Solstice Pro Sun Hoodie has a slightly more fitted hood.

We release new sun hoodie colors twice a year in the spring and fall. Each season we make limited edition colors, so if you see a color you love, grab it before it’s gone.
