Astroman Air Sun Hoodie - Women's

Love the weight and color.

I have wide shoulders and should have ordered a larger size. The product is great but a little tight for me.

Color options too dark

I have the old version. The new version (this one) has better sun protection so I thought I’d try it. It’s way too dark. I will broil in this under bright sun. It also doesn’t have thumb holes. Overall, a step backwards. It still has the nice zipper. It still nicely protects the neck and décolletage area when zipped unlike many sun hoodies that leave this area exposed to sun. It’s still super light weight and non-clingy

Favorite sun hoody

I bought this sun hoody this summer and have worn it many times to keep the sun off my skin, but also stay nice and cool in the hot summer. The half zip on the front allows great airflow. I like the light grey color. This is an item I always bring into the backcountry with me if I’m worried about UV exposure in alpine areas above the tree line. It also keeps bugs off my arms, torso, neck. Highly recommend!!

Astroman Air Sun Hoodies are great!

Familiarity:

I've put it through the wringer

Size Bought:

Medium

This is my second Astroman Air Sun Hoodie in a different color. They're great for hiking in hot sunny weather. I like to wear a ball cap and pull the hoodie over the top to protect my face from the sun. I also love the 3/4 zipper so I can vent if it's too hot, or zip up in cooler temperatures. It's very lightweight, but not see-through, and I love the stretchiness.

So comfy

Perfect piece for an avid outdoorswoman; thin enough to pack up super well.

Sunrise is NOT orange color

I have a small Astroman in navy and wanted something brighter and a little more roomy. So I got Sunrise as it’s a bright safety color and I thought it was orange. It is NOT orange - it’s definitely a pinkish coral color. While bright - it’s not the same as what is depicted in the photo. Fit and feel is as expected.

Fit for purpose but could use design improvements

Very good sun protection. Not giving 5 stars because I wish the arms had thumb holes instead of the elastic, and I think the pocket orientation is weird in a way that doesn’t seem functional for anyone. As a field ecologist, I use this when I’m working in wetlands where I can’t wear sunscreen, and I’ve found it to be a very good lightweight layer and quick dry, so very functional for that environment.

Solid layer

Works as a great base layer over a top too

Love

I love this pullover the fabric is lightweight and comfortable. I use it for running and often layer the Astroman tank under it. Great for Spring and early Fall. Living in the South it is the perfect weight.

Hate the hip zipper!

Next to loving to backpack I love gear that works for me in the field. I love everything about this hoodie BUT the zipper on the hip!! It caused a sore there under the hip belt. So my question is does OR make a 30 UPF hoodie that does not have it?
