Zpacks Mirage Merino Sun Hoody
What distinguishes this sun hoodie from others is its material composition. It's primarily crafted from 96% merino wool and 4% spandex.
Most Sun hoodies are made of materials such as polyester and nylon which tend to smell after a few days. Merino wool has a natural UPF of 40 and it's also odor resistant, this makes it an excellent material to go on a hike.
Wear this garment for days not worrying about getting burnt and not worrying about how bad you smell at the end of the day. Merino wool like other wools is also really nice to wear, offers exceptional comfort, making this garment cozy to wear, especially ideal for hiking.
Shoulder seams are placed really well so it doesn't get bothered whenever you're wearing a backpack.
The lower cut of the bottom hem on the sun hoodie prevents it from riding up when wearing a backpack, addressing the common annoyance of shirt creep.
The hood is quite spacious and features a three-panel design, ensuring a better fit and coverage over your head.
While the material may initially feel warm, its thickness provides remarkable cooling once you start sweating, offering an incredible cooling effect.
Overall, the Zpacks Mirage Merino Sun Hoody sets the standard for sun protection apparel, combining advanced materials, thoughtful design, and superior comfort to elevate your outdoor experience. Whether you're exploring remote wilderness or soaking up the sun in your backyard, this hoody has you covered, literally and figuratively.
