This sun hoodie is super comfortable! Full disclaimer, I’ve only been able to use it so far during the fall in cooler temperatures. However, since it’s merino, it also makes a perfect base layer for cooler
weather layering. The fabric is super comfortable and breathable, and the fit is good. I usually hover between a medium and a large. The medium fit perfectly. The thumbholes are designed very well, and they feel very natural. Sometimes thumbholes feel out of place, but these are super comfortable.
On some other sun hoodies I own, the hood blows off with the smallest breeze and it drives me up a wall. With the mirage, the hood has yet to blow off which is a huge win.
I run hot and I live on the east coast with high humidity so the extra long vent zipper is a huge plus for me. Im very optimistic for the mirage’s performance in the summer months. To be honest, $100 felt like a steep price to pay, but after wearing the mirage, I think it’s worth the investment. This feels like it has the potential to become my go-to hiking base layer all year round.
