Weightless sun protection for long days outside.
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 104g in a size medium. 69g for the short sleeve and 87g 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.

Cody B made everything right when one of my orders got sent to the wrong destination. He seriously took care of everything without hesitation and fast! I don't normally do reviews, but here I am. My favorite shirt is legit the NoFry Sun Hoodie. I wear it so often that I had to buy a couple of them to rotate out. Not only is the hoodie top notch, the customer service is a breath of fresh air. Seriously, hard to beat this level of care. P.S. I love the pants, too.
The material is so soft and so light that even wearing black I was still cool and had great airflow in the sun. Fast drying as well.
This is by far the most lightweight sun hoodie I’ve ever had. This is my go to for trail running in the Rocky Mountains having all of the buttons to be able to open it up when it gets warm is such a great option.
I love this hoodie! I was looking for a lightweight and breathable long sleeve with a hoodie for the sun. It's 90+ degrees during the summer, and the need to stay protected from the sun but also not sweat to much was key. This hoodie does all of that. The material feels great and is super lightweight. I love it so much, I got a second one.
The sun hoodie is absurdly light--about the half the weight of a similar one I have from another brand. I like that one too, but the Ketl Mtn one is comfortable in full sun. The hood really requires a hat (or maybe big hair) to keep it up out of your face. But that's fine with me. I liked it enough to buy another one in a different color.
I have not used it trail running yet, but I plan to eventually. The fabric is lite weight but does not seem prone to snags. It has a very smooth almost silky texture.
This was a great sun hoodie while I was hiking the highline trail and grinnell glacier at glacier national park. Highly recommend your product even my fiance might just buy a small version off my experience.
Love the NoFry hoodie. Super comfortable and versatile.
Just like advertised. Super light, barely feels like you are wearing anything. I wear to play golf in So Cal. It was in the high 90s recently and it provided great sun protection without trapping any heat. Looks great too.
Bought this for my husband for the Colorado Trail. He’s loved it so much I’m considering buying one for myself!
Love it so far.. it does get a little hot and sweaty but it dries fast. It's easy to even had wash as well as it dries fast. Good coverage and the size is true as long as you follow the size guide. It fits well on the shoulder and chest with a bit of roominess. Feels of good quality that will last. i've not machine washed it yet.
I think for my next one I will try a merino wool blend sun hoodie next to compare.
So far so good! Very soft and fits great.
My wife tells me at some point I am going to have to wear a different shirt. It’s been upper 90’s here with a heat index approaching 110 degrees. Now is not the time to start listening to her. It may be time to buy more of these shirts.
Excellent sun hoodie !
I was somewhat skeptical when I received it. The material felt like something plastic, not what I expected based on images. I took it to my kitesurfing trip to Ceara Brazil and I got to say it matches and exceeds all the features listed. Worked amazing. I will pickup a few more colors. If I were to be picky the type I got has the hood wrapping around and won’t stay on my head for a long time in strong wind but with a cap over it very manageable. This is the most functional shirt I got with me on this trip. Definitely recommend.
This Sun Hoodie is ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. Incredibly comfortable and versatile with hood and how it wraps around the brim of a hat to stay secure in windy environments. Also, such a nice added touch with all the hidden easier eggs and motivational tag lines.
