Here's what customers have to say
The sun protection garment is generally well-received for its breathability, durability, and comfort. Many customers praise the features like the hood and thumb holes that provide good coverage. However, some find the fit to be too loose, especially in the arms and body, and recommend sizing down. Overall, it is a versatile and functional piece of clothing for outdoor activities, though the fit may not suit everyone.

I like it, but…
- Familiarity:
- I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I was hoping this would be a bit more breathable. I live in a place that has pretty intense humidity to accompany the heat, and any extra layer often makes it feel like you’re in an oven. If I really needed long sleeves to be outdoors, I would probably opt for something with a lighter feel.

Great for summer

Bought this for my husband who works in construction and is outside most of the summer. His skin is protected on his arms and the back of his neck without him getting too hot. Comfort and protection all in one great shirt. The hood fits great under a hard hat as well.

Have worn this to the lake, golfing, hiking, to the wine bar, grocery shopping, and taking out the trash. It’s super lightweight, keeps me cool, and doesn’t look ridiculous to wear out for regular activities like other sun shirts I own. I ordered one in white and another in the gold-ish color.

I bought the Tahoe 2 sun hoodie in spring of 2025 and have used it for biking around Lake Tahoe and Yosemite on hot, sunny days. The fit is good and the fabric is great for hot, dry weather. I haven't tested it in humid conditions, but my guess is that it will be good.

Finally someone sizing hiking clothes for adults with a chest and shoulders. Nice sleeve length and the fabric excellent but that hood !!! Way too big unless you're wearing a hat. But if you're wearing a hat you don't' need a hood. Cut it to fit the human head and it's a five star piece of clothing.

I received this product as part of the Backcountry Creator Program & I’m a big fan of this sun hoodie! It’s light and breathable and the SPF protection is awesome.

Tahoe Sun hoodie my new favorite
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
- Size Bought:
- Medium
Fit (medium) is just right for a 5’11” 170 lb guy. Relaxed fit but not baggy, sleeves plenty long (includes thumb holes) that can be pushed up. Somehow both cool in warm weather and warm in 50’s Colorado air. Nice array of colors so I bought 3. Highly recommended!

37yrs old 6'3" 200lbs (fit) The sun hoodie has basically become my daily outfit (WFH), so I have a closet full. The Black Diamond Alpenglow is easily my favorite (I have 5) - rode a motorcycle across vietnam and Latin America in them, they're legit. I also have some from North Face, OR, and others. I needed another in white, but BD was out so I gave this a shot. Ordered a large and it's super baggy, arms are too long (bagging up and slumping on forearms). It also runs a little short for my torso. The material feels like good quality, but it's just not a good fit. Way too much material around the chest and stomach. I don't want anything tight/slim fitting, just something that a bit less... well... baggy. Didn't nail it woth this one, I'm afraid. I'll hang onto it for mowing the yard in shorts.

Saved me in the Grand Canyon

Sun protection is tough. You want something that'll keep you from frying, but you don't want to cover up so you can get that sweet, sweet breeze. When temps reached over 100 at the bottom Grand Canyon, I didn't have a choice but to cover up since sunscreen was sweating right off my skin. Luckily, the breeze still worked its way through the airy fabric, making it breathable and cooling. Much to my wife's chagrin, I didn't take this off for the entirety of the Rim-to-Rim trail. Not a single sunburn.
