Don't slather yourself in sunscreen.

We set out to make the lightest, most breathable sun shirts on the planet. 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 with a soft, silky feel, so you can keep your skin protected and yourself cool.

The magic is in our proprietary NoFry fabric. The fabric itself weighs just 79gsm, and the entire Four-Snap hoodie comes in at only 114g in a size medium. It packs down incredibly small and feels nearly weightless on your body.

Four snaps up front let you dump heat and increase airflow when you’re working hard. Discreet thumbholes keep the sleeves in place on windy days and add sun coverage over the backs of your hands.

The fabric wicks moisture and dries incredibly fast, making it easy to rinse and hang dry when you’re traveling. Ideal for exposed hikes, long days on the water, and adventure travel where you’d rather pack less and do more.

Also available as a One-Snap hoodie, short-sleeve sun shirt, and long-sleeve sun shirt, all made with the same proprietary NoFry fabric.

Features & Specs
  • Best For: Any day in the sun... hiking, trail running, backpacking, fishing, paddling, or whatever else.
  • Sun Protection: UPF 30+ minimum, with darker colors offering higher protection.
  • Fabric: Our proprietary NoFry grid-knit fabric. 100% recycled poly at just 79gsm. Soft, stretchy, incredibly breathable, and quick-drying.

  • Fit: Athletic cut, long torso and plenty of stretch. See Size Chart for details. 
  • Front Snaps: Pop open the four front snaps to dump heat and let more air in. Easier on and off, too.
  • Hood: Fits over or under a hat or helmet for added sun coverage over your head and neck.
  • Thumbholes: Discreet openings keep sleeves in place and help cover the backs of your hands.
  • Hanging Loop: A little loop inside makes it easy to hang up after a rinse.
  • Odor Control: Treated with HeiQ Mint to help keep the stink in check.
  • Lifetime Repairs: If you damage it, we’ll repair it for free for life.

I’ve been really impressed with NoFry Sun Shirt

I’ve been really impressed with NoFry Sun Shirt. The material is incredibly light and breathable, which makes a huge difference during the hot Utah summers. It’s comfortable enough to wear all day, whether I’m hiking, working outside, or just running errands. The fit is great, and I barely notice I’m wearing a long-sleeve shirt because it stays so cool. Definitely a solid choice for sun protection without feeling heavy or restrictive.

Doesn't smell when it gets wet

Doesn't smell when it gets wet, is lightweight and breathable. I ordered a size up because I prefer a looser fit and it fits perfectly. Took it for a test ride while there's a heat wave in California and it passed with flying colors.

The thumb holes and wrist opening fit fine for me, though I'm a bit worried the stitching may come undone over time, so I'll be careful when switching between them.

Only improvements additions I can think of are maybe making the wrist or thumb holes elastic and offering a version with a pocket. Otherwise, it's definitely the best sun hoodie out there.

I'll most likely pick up more colors or get them as functional gifts for sure.

Easy to clean, lightweight, comfortable Mithril!

Feels like my own set of Mithril from Middle Earth! Been wearing this both indoors and outdoors. Living in the high desert sun, it definitely helps when putting out the laundry and doing yard work. Hoping to try it out paddle boarding sometime. Also cleans really nice!

I have been converted.

I’m 71 and returning to the running life after a CABG and TKR. I own a couple of other sun hoodies and I thought they were good. But when this kettle no fry arrived, I put it on and took a run on a 90° afternoon in the Sierra foothills. This 4 snap shirt was amazing! It only took me one run to know that this hoodie is exactly what I have been looking for on my runs and hikes. Absolutely great product!

Goober mode

I’ve worn a lot of sun shirts, and this has become my go-to for long days on the mountain bike. I’ve worn it on 50+ mile rides where I’m out in the sun for hours, and the biggest difference is how light and breathable it feels.

A lot of sun shirts protect you from the sun but leave you feeling hot and clammy once you start sweating. This one is noticeably thinner and breathes well enough that I don’t feel like I’m wearing a wet layer all day.

I also love the hood. It’s roomy enough that I can go full goober mode and pull it right over my helmet when I want maximum sun coverage. It looks ridiculous, works incredibly well, and I’m completely fine with that.

The fit is comfortable on the bike, it doesn’t feel restrictive while riding, and the extra coverage means I’m not constantly thinking about reapplying sunscreen to my arms, neck, and ears

How NoFry Got Our Whole Family Through the Walker's Haut Route

For years, I couldn't wear synthetic garments on hikes - my skin simply couldn't tolerate them. So when I set out to tackle the Walker's Haut Route, I knew I had to find something that truly worked for me. Over 75 miles across 10 days, with 26,000 feet of total elevation gain, weight and durability were everything.
I chose NoFry for the whole family - and it was a game changer. The moment you put NoFry on, you know it's exactly what you've been looking for. It doesn't feel synthetic at all; it's airy, comfortable, and genuinely a pleasure to wear. Even after six hours on the trail, it still feels fresh. A quick rinse in cold water overnight, and it dries fast enough to wear again the next morning. (And between us - thanks to the anti-odor technology, you can wear it two days in a row without washing.)
In the photo, our family is all decked out in NoFry, with Lac de Moiry in the background.

I've tested and used 15+ sun hoodies in over 11K miles of hiking

I've tested and used 15+ sun hoodies in over 11K miles of hiking. This is by far the best - lightweight, breathable, and partial button down with a large hood! I had to size up, so the sleeves are a little long. Other than that it is perfect. I wish it weren't athletic cut but that's just personal preference.

Every product I buy from KETL is 5 star. I have three Wayward Training Tee shirts and three pair of the Vent Lightweight Active Pant. So, it was NO SURPRISE that the NoFry Sun Hoodie - One Snap was awesome too. So light weight and comfortable. Can't say enough good about the product and people at KETL. Keep it up mates!!

Cool, comfortable, perfection

I thought the single snap NoFry Hoodie was perfection, until I tried the 4 snap. I have never felt such cool comfort while hiking in the sun. Tested in Wyoming, Utah and North Carolina, it's amazing in dry and humid environments. I will be living in these shirts for many warm seasons to come

You have anything for women, or can this be unisex’s?

KETL Mtn. Apparel

We don’t yet offer a women-specific cut, but the design is fully unisex and works great on all body types. If you prefer a more tailored fit, you might try sizing down (or compare your measurements to our size chart) to get the look you like.
