cool and protected!

Written on May 24, 2018

I have worn this twice and washed once, and so far it seems to be a high-quality garment. The sleeves are nice and long (so long that they cover my hands easily without needing a thumbhole to keep them in place), the material is slightly stretchy, extremely lightweight, very breathable and keeps me cool even while sitting in a hot car in the sun.
I really like that it is UPF 50 (I need at least UPF 40 if I'm to be outside for more than an hour) and that the hood covers my neck and ears (otherwise I'll get a rash after being a few minutes in the sun); the hood is also tapered enough to be able to fit easily under a bike helmet (but would also stretch to accommodate a pile of hair underneath depending on your needs).

Since this is a pullover and not a full-zippered jacket, I would recommend sizing up slightly for a little extra ease in pulling over your head. The front hidden pocket (on the left bust) is somewhat awkward, but you don't have to use it.

cool and comfy, stays put, and protects against the sun

These are cool and comfortable, even on warm days, and the UPF 50 protection is something I need (I have a health condition that gives me a rash from even the smallest amounts of sunlight). There is a 1/2-inch wide elastic inside the top of the waistband that helps these tights to stay up, but they seem to be slightly more forgiving (more comfortable!) than other leggings I have worn--for those of us who are not stick thin 20-something models.
I got the small; it fits my 28-30" waist, 35" hips and moderately curvy calves. It is less snug (a bit baggy, for leggings) at the bottom hem near the feet but the length is fine for my 5'2" height.
