baleafMen's UPF 50+ Full Zip Light Jacket Hooded Long Sleeve Cooling Shirt with Pocket Hiking Fishing Outdoor Performance

Yet another excellent product from Baleaf. I’ve purchased many recreational active wear products and all have stood the test of time. I’m outside in the high mountains wear the sun is pretty intense and the hoodies do the job of blocking the sun on your skin and head. They’re easy to clean and dry quickly. The zippered hoodie runs a little long compared to the non-zippered version but not enough to make a huge difference. The convenience of having a zipper lets you modulate your body temperature as well. I find that wetting the hoodie on very hot days keeps you cool and comfortable. Baleaf products are top quality and last for years!UPDATE: 7/26/2023OK, so after trying this on I realized that the torso (per another review) is way too long in a size medium. I sent this back to Amazon and they graciously exchanged this for a size "small". After I tried the small on the torso is much much better. For some reason the cut is about the same in the shoulders and the arms are the same length in the small so I would be mindful as to selecting the correct size. FYI...I'm 5'11'', 163lbs./40"chest/32" waist/35" hips with an athletic build and maybe a bit high waisted.Baleaf: I would suggest that you look at the torso specs and think about as to why this is not in proportion with the full zip hoodies. Additionally, the Baleaf "non-zipped" hoodies are perfectly proportioned and true to size. Is there a specific reason that the torso dimensions are much longer than your other non-zipped hoodie? I've purchased 4 of those and they are great but I can see why customers of your product are taken aback by this. I love the quality and feel free to reach out to me personally! [email protected]

Best lightweight jacket I've ever owned. The fit is great and it's very breathable.

This product is exactly what I was looking for,I have severe photosensitivity from the sun and I was looking for something black, uv protection , and cooling material and this check all the boxesIt's also light weight and fits with all my casual clothesThe zipper is easy to close which is important part for meIt's cooling that means you don't feel hot or sweaty when you wearing it in those very hot summersDisclaimer I'm a woman and I bought it for the color because I needed black color , The fit came back great and it's just the sleeves are a bit long on me which I completely understand as it was designed for men but I enjoy the the extra roomLastly highly recommend it

As an active person who wanted something to run and exercise in the desert in, I've owned many sun shirts. This is a good one. Very light for wearing on its own or as a cover over a light baselayer.Pros: great value, perfect weight for me, Very light and breezy with excellent coverage on sleeves and hood*.Cons: cheap zipper which will probably be the point of failure, full zip hood is useless and makes the hood fall off unless zipped to neckFit: I'm an athletic build with 39 chest, mostly medium in everything. Medium was perfect. Not small forearms and I can pull them up to midway forearm and they stay (a positive for me)

It's a great little very light jacket that keeps the sun off you. The pockets are handy and it is well made. I'm happy with the purchase.

Super comfortable shirts!!

Nice feel, good fit, not too big or small, seems to be made pretty good, very lightweight fabric. Washed and dried very nice. Really nice , good value. However, I purchased for sun protection, and when holding this up you can see light easily coming through. So that tells me the sun protection is not that great. I do not believe it could be upf 50+ . If light gets through, UV rays also get through. The fabric breaths nice, but that’s not good for sun protection, (according to my upf research). So, I will use it to layer, knowing it provides some, but probably not very much sun protection . I held the hoody up to window on a rainy day, you can see the trees through it, no problem. Cannot believe it will provide much upf value. Otherwise, very nice.

My main concern was that the jacket would be too hot to wear in the sun. I have now tested it:I hiked 8 miles in 90-100* F sun – obviously I felt the heat, but the jacket allowed the breeze through. I did not feel overheated, despite wearing the jacket. More to the point: I was not sunburned at all! No sunblock, but the jacket protected me perfectly.I appreciated that the sleeves covered most of my hands as well, without interfering with my grip much.I didn't test the hood -- I wore a wide hat -- but I'm confident it would also work very well.I am very happy with my purchase, and look forward to many sun-protected hikes!
