Don't slather yourself in sunscreen.
The lightest, most breathable sun shirts on the planet. That was our mission. Mostly because we don’t like smearing sunblock all over our skin.
Astonishingly featherweight fabric that the air blows right through. UPF 30+ sun protection so you’ll never get sunburned.
The magic is in the near weightless fabric. Our NoFry Sun Hoodie weighs in at only 118g in a size medium. 81g for the short sleeve and 105g for the long sleeve. The fabric itself comes in at just 79gsm.
The thin, breathable fabric allows the shirts to pack down incredibly small & feel weightless on the body. Ideal for adventure travel or any long day in the sun.
These shirts dry incredibly fast and wick moisture making them perfect for every possible outdoor activity and making it easy to rinse and hang dry when needed.
Topped off with discrete thumb holes on the long sleeve and hoodie versions to keep the sun off your hands and the sleeves in place on windy days.

Fabric Details
Crafted from a unique, high-performance grid-knit poly (79gsm). It’s lightweight, breathable, and quick-drying, with a subtle texture that boosts airflow and comfort.
Soft, stretchy, comfortable and designed for sun-soaked missions when the heat’s on the sun is sharp.
Anti-odor control from HeiQ Mint. The gold standard in the outdoor industry for plant based, effective odor control on performance fabrics.
Because this fabric is intentionally built to feel extremely light and airy, it should be treated with a little more care than heavier fabrics. Avoid direct contact with Velcro, sharp edges, and abrasive surfaces to help prevent snags or pilling.

Pair It With
As a sun hoodie: Blocks the sun for my burnable skin and doesn't make me hot: Win! Wearing it in the 80s-90s it's comfortable even with the hood up. I take a star off because the snaps are much too strong for being backed by nothing but this very same light fabric. It really needs a backer bit of something more sturdy or lighter snaps. Mine pulled right through the first day. Credit to Ketl for taking care of me and I haven't had a repeat (while being very careful with it)
I love this hoodie! I’ve already worn it a lot in the few short weeks that I’ve had it - on the beach, at the pool, while doing yard work or going on a hike. It’s lightweight which makes it versatile and stylish which is hard to come by in outdoor apparel. Lots of people asking me where I got the hoodie. Highly recommend!
Great!
Great for bikepacking. Stayed on my helmet under 25 mph. Super lightweight. Highly recommend.
I love Ketl products in general, they are expensive (although way more affordable than many bougie outdoor brands) and worth it. Surprisingly durable for their light weight, stylish and comfortable. So I was sad to have to give a less than perfect review on my first purchase of this in grey. It just didn't look that great and the textile had a not great finish and feel that even pilled a bit with hard use. It was also (my fault) way too dark for use in hot weather. So after frustration with other brands I came back and got a new one in the new Cloud color which is a very pale blue grey that reads like a cloud on a nice day. It really seems like they changed the textile holding them next to each other, maybe it is just the color but this one looks and feels much nicer on the skin and so far is holding up very well. The color repels heat gain but is just not white enough to stay clean looking and just unique and also not glaring reflective in the sun. I am wearing it for everything from ski touring to mountain biking to white water pack rafting. I mean it looks great to wear for a skate around town or to coffee. I can't praise it highly enough.
I love these! I've bought 4 now. I've been wearing them in this 90+ Georgia heat and they are amazing! I bought them for a birding trip in SE Arizona this August! I'm hoping they hold up well.
Love it. Wasn't sure if I would like the button up, but works great. Used it on the beach, for running and hiking. Permanent part of my kit.
I love my Sun Hoodie! It's great for sun protection and not too hot. It is nog very sturdy though, but other than that, no remarks!
I love this hoodie it's dope! I've tried other sun hoodies and this is the lightest and most breathable hoodie I've found.
Great for cycling, added this to my commute home
I added a snap so it doesn’t fly off
Awesome hoodie! I wore this for a few trail runs in Moab in July and it did exactly what it was supposed to. Provided great sun protection, and dried quickly.
Loving this hoodie so far! I’ve run in the upper 80s with full sun and the upper 40s with rain and some in between and it has been great in all conditions. Paired with a hydration vest, I’m really enjoying it!
I wore the NoFry Hoodie for the entirety of the 2026 Hardrock 100 Endurance Run and was pleased with its performance. As advertised, it kept me from burning at higher elevations. I did feel the breeze go through the fabric, which was quite welcomed. The snaps did help to regulate heat. The sleeves stayed in place without using the thumb holes. A bonus was that the hoodie did not ride up under my Salomon hydration vest. Afterwards, I did not observe any damage to the hoodie, just staining holding memories.
I own a medium, and I am 5'10" and 170 pounds. The fit is perfect.
The Sun Hoodie is extremely lightweight; however, it provides more than adequate protection from the Florida Keys sun. The snap feature helps secure the hoodie when boating and during onshore high winds. I am 6’ 3” and 220 lbs and purchased the XXL. The XL would have certainly fit, but the extra room provides for additional airflow, allows for unrestricted movement, and provides added comfort.
This shirt is magic! My husband started buying Ketl a couple years ago and now I’m buying their XS shirts because they’re better than any other brand I’ve tried. It’s like wearing nothing at all while being protected from harsh sunny rays
Loving the feet and feel of the fabric, will be living in this shirt!
