here's the deal, I do really love this sun hoodie! I am ditching plastics in my clothing and it's REALLY hard to do that with backpacking clothes because everyone is so obsessed with polyester.
SO. I was stoked when I found this and thought I can have a light weight sun hoodie/long sleeve hiking layer that is merino wool!
It fits great. 5 starts for the fit and style. I got purple. It's a great color! I am 5'3 and 135lbs and the small fits good. I could maaaaybe do an XS but the small is good. Also love the quarter zip! and the thumb holes and hood are great too!
again, 5 stars for the look, sizing, color, material, quarter zip etc.
the only reason I am giving this a 3 stars is because I have only worn it on 2 day hikes and 1 backpacking trip and it is already showing wear.. there are spots on the back that are pilling from my backpack rubbing on it, and it got stretched out where my hip belt pockets rubbed on the material during my hike.
I am worried that if its already showing wear after only 3 uses.. what will it look like after I wear it every day for my 9 day trip in August? I will report back on that. But for now, that is the only part I am disappointed in.
Especially for a $100 shirt..
anywhoo, thats my review! I hope it is helpful for some people!
