Abisko Sun Hoodie - Women's
Light sweater in quick-drying jersey knit. Perfect for trekking in warm climates. Produced without PFCs, made for a lifetime of use.
Light and comfortable sweater for outdoor life and travelling in warm climates. Made using a technical jersey knit that wicks away moisture and dries in no time for maximum comfort on sunny days on the hiking trail. Long sleeves and a hood offer light protection from the sun, and thumbholes stop the sleeves from riding up. Well-fitting but with a little extra room to let air circulate around the body. Gussets under the arms for extra freedom of movement.

Texture not ideal, but does what advertised!
I took this shirt with me for walking the Camino in the early fall (~35C on the coast with no shade). I'm very sensitive to heat (due to both MS and some of my medication), but after soaking this shirt in water, the combination of the quick evaporation and the UV protection was enough to keep me comfortable even at noon. It was great to be able to skip out on sunblock and still not end the day looking like a tomato. Like other reviewers said, it's a little rougher that ideal, but I do have to say, it held up to backpack friction much better than the Abisko wool shirt I took on the same trip and I did *not* get any irritation despite walking all day with a 10-20kg bag for the first time. Dries very very quickly, which is great when conditions are damp.

Light weight protection
The material is a lil tough or like the other reviewer said plastic like but it is very lightweight and if you are looking to save ounces in your pack this sun hoodie is a great option. I like the thumb holes but I feel like the sleeves should be a tad longer for a better fit. I bought the orange and it’s a beautiful color and bright on the trail. Im hoping with a few washes the shirt will soften a bit.

I wanted to love this, but...
the fabric feels a bit plasticky against the skin. As a sun hoodie, it's important that it feels soft so I can wear comfortably over a sports bra. The sleeves were also too short to use the thumb holes comfortably. Sizing up might have helped a bit, but it still seemed like the length should be more generous overall (I'm 5'8" for reference, and purchased size S). Otherwise, I loved the dark blue color and ponytail opening.

Almost perfect
I work as a construction project manager in tropical Costa Rica, this shirt is nearly perfect. It's light, it shields you from the sun, and the reinforced stitches makes it durable. The downside, this type of fabric forces me to wash it everyday after work to avoid odor from sticking. I would love to see this very design but with wool, the hoodie is a must for warm climates.
