Doesn't breathe
Doesn't breathe at all, it's like wearing a plastic bag. Took it on a bike ride in moderately hot weather and was dripping in sweat within minutes, and I ride every day. It's super comfortable, high quality, well-made and fits well, but it's not really a "SunShield". Maybe good for walking casually, but not for high output activity in real summer heat.

Great warm weather layer
Great for a slightly breezy day to stay out in the sun and avoid sunscreen. I put it over something else and the packable feature is nice to throw in a tackle box or backpack. (Doesn’t play well with Velcro so don’t brush against it)

Great for climbing and touring.
Purchased for alpine climbing and ski touring. It is a little more robust than a typical sun hoody which I appreciate. I recently took it for a spin on a mixed couloir climb to a steep skiing descent and it performed very well to the point it was pretty much the only layer I wore the whole time in 40 degree temps in and out of shade. Paired with a crater lake short sleeve underneath seemed to be a winning combo. XL fit very well for a 46" chest as with all other MH gear.

Great protection without overheating
Great fit - somewhat form fitting but not too tight. Provides good coverage without overheating or getting clammy on your skin. The only thing that might be missing in terms of features would be thumb holes. That being said, not having them did not bother me too much so YMMV.

Ideal sun protection
I was given a Sunshield Hoody and thought it was so great that I sent one to my brother. I live in Hawai'i where it is sunny and humid, and everything about this hoody is perfect. It's lightweight and breathable, as you'd expect, but the unexpected delight is the feel and function of the fabric. It stands away from the body just a bit, and feels almost soft. So much more comfortable than other sun-protective wear that feels like you're being suffocated in plastic wrap! I can wear it all day and feel good. It's become one of my favorite pieces of clothing.
