Stretchy sun protection and breathable performance in the Astroman Sun Hoodie
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This is one of my favorite sun hoodies for long, sunny days on rock. It breathes well, stretches when I’m reaching high, and the hood actually stays put under a helmet. Whether I’m guiding or projecting, I wear it nonstop when UV’s in the forecast."
When we’re out climbing, hiking, or moving fast under direct sun, the Outdoor Research Astroman Sun Hoodie keeps us cool, covered, and comfortable. Designed with input from professional climbing guides, this piece balances stretch, airflow, and sun protection so we can stay focused when the day heats up.
The lightweight fabric blends nylon and spandex for a soft, stretchy feel that moves with us on technical terrain. Built-in UPF 30+ protection blocks harsh rays, while the low-profile hood fits easily under a helmet or pairs with a hat. Whether we’re linking pitches or crossing open alpine zones, this hoodie is one layer we don’t leave behind.

Best sun hoodie I’ve ever owned
Very breathable with slight wind protection, doesn’t smell as much as other sun hoodies, love the vent/pocket/hood size. 100% recommend to all my friends. Thin material feels much nicer and more durable on long days than expected. That is despite much abuse alpine rock climbing, ski mountaineering, and many days with a heavy pack.

Super Rad
Love the colors and how comfortable this sun hoodie is. Have hiked & kayaked in it and the hood kept me nice and shaded while staying cool. Will definitely be buying more when new colors are available!

Nice "Summer Jacket" or Shoulder season jacket
I wear this when its a shoulder season piece or just something to keep me cooler in the sun. It works really well. Its nice and airy and light. In my opinion, this version is better than the newer one. This item is great for anyone who wants something to keep them nice and cool in the sun. Works well as a layering piece in my regular size.

The best sun shirt, period.
This thing is incredibly lightweight compared to other similar sun shirts. I can wear this as a base layer when hiking, a shirt on the beach or on the e water, and anything in between. I only wish it came in more colors.

Does the job
It works but seems a little baggy around the wrists and arms. I have a large and will try a med next time (510/180).

The best Sun Hoodie Money can buy
This sun hoody is one of my favorite pieces of gear- I have 3 that I rotate. They are lightweight, wick moisture, and block the wind (to an extent) that makes the sun hoody quite comfortable. It is a good size/thickness that does not feel warm or snug on the body- I've warn this in 105+ degree heat, and was glad I had it on. I wish it was a bit more durable, but it's durability is already better than other sun hoodies.

I like the fabric, keeps me cool and dry in hot summer days. Zipper is great for controlling body heat when active. Overall very glad I bought it. Odor control underperforms compared to some of my other gear.
