Echo Hoodie - Women's

My favorite sun shirt

I now have 3 of these and I wear them constantly for backpacking, biking, and running. They’re SUPER lightweight so you can actually wear them on hot days. They are only spf 15, but wayyy better than an spf50 shirt you overheat in and have to take off! It’s a bit fragile (catches on things) and thus won’t last forever, but I love it anyways!

super comfy on sweaty days

I use this for doing trailwork. I get dirty, sweaty, lots of sun. this is my favorite sun hoody by far. The material is light and does quickly without feeling gross while it's wet. the hood stays on in windy conditions yet i can still wear a ball cap underneath if I want to. my coworker says the neck is a little small when the good isn't up but I have never noticed it. light material, so not the most durable but ill keep buying them because of the comfort and fit.

Lightweight, but wish it was more durable

I pull out the Echo Hoodie on especially hot days when I need something extra lightweight. It’s breathable, quick-drying, and the hood adds good sun protection. The tradeoff is durability—it snags really easily on rock and gear, and I hate having to be careful with it. That said, it still holds up after snags. I’d love a version with tougher fabric.

My go to

My go to. Pros- lightweight, dries quickly, not overly fitted or too boxy, breathable, and fabric isn't scratchy or rubs in weird places. Cons- the price, and finding my size. This is one of the first things pulled out when packing for long hike or 14er.

Colorado Trail Approved!

The echo sun hoodie was one of my favorite pieces of gear along the entire length of the Colorado Trail from July/August 2025. The women’s version features and incredibly useful ponytail hole in the hood, something that I believe all hoodies should have from now. The hood stayed put even on incredibly windy days.The thumb holes were great for keeping the harsh UV rays off of the top of most of my hand, although the tan line it created between my hand and fingers is pretty funny. Cut is flattering and the material is feather light while still providing a lot of protection. I found the fit to be true to size. I wear a medium and am petite but have a DD+ chest.

Lightweight, stretchy, but sturdy material

Great for hot summer days where you need to be in the sun but don’t want to put on sunscreen

Best sun shirt!

I have this shirt in every color. It’s a staple for hiking/ice climbing/glacier travel. It’s lightweight but blocks the sun and is incredibly comfortable! I love the hood and thumb holes on the sleeves. Fits great under a helmet as well.

A light weight and comfort sun hoody. Perfect for sunny climbs or runs. The thumb loops are a nice detail. This shirt seems less prone to stink than other synthetic shirts I have worn.

Lightweight nature means less durable

Overall feels great to wear! Really lightweight and soft material. It offers limited sun protection, but I'm okay with that trade off for the breathability. It's so thin that I don't predict it will last very long. I've worn it once and already have a snag. I'm not sure if I would buy this full price.

Really great for sunny days

Was very light weight, breathable, and dries quickly. Wore it kayaking and while camping in the UP. The hoodie was great for additional sun protection and keeping bugs away from my ears.
