Weightless sun protection for long days outside.
A sun hoodie only works if you actually want to keep wearing it. That’s why we set out to make the absolute lightest sun hoodie on the market. Featherweight fabric, incredible breathability, and a barely-there feel for long days in brutal sun.
The magic starts with our proprietary NoFry fabric. A 79gsm featherweight grid knit we developed to let air move through while still providing UPF 30+ sun protection. It has a soft, silky feel without looking shiny or overly technical.
The One-Snap keeps things clean, minimal, and as lightweight as possible. The entire hoodie weighs just 104g in a size medium and packs down incredibly small. A perfectly placed single snap at the hood opening will keep the hood in place in the wind and not blow off.
The hood is large enough to fit over a hat, but the fabric is thin enough to comfortably fit under a hat or helmet as well. Discreet thumbholes help keep the sleeves in place 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 adventure travel, long hikes, paddling, or just about anything you’re doing outside in the blazing sun.
Also available as a Four-Snap hoodie, short-sleeve sun shirt, and long-sleeve sun shirt, all made with the same proprietary NoFry fabric.

Fabric Details
Made from our proprietary NoFry grid-knit fabric: 100% recycled poly at just 79gsm. Soft, silky, and stretchy, with a subtle grid texture that lets air move right through.
The fabric wicks moisture and dries incredibly fast. Plant-based odor control from HeiQ Mint helps keep the stink in check between washes.
That featherweight feel deserves a little more care than heavier fabrics. You don’t need to baby it, but avoid direct contact with Velcro, sharp edges, and abrasive surfaces to help prevent snags or pilling.

Wash / Care Instructions

Light weight and great fit.
I ordered the shirt because the ad said it was lighter and cooler than most hoodies. The snaps make it a bit more elegant than most pullons.
I purchased it for a college football game, one which set the heat record for the stadium. Kick off 11:00.
It worked as advertised. The shirt kept me cool and looking fresh through the game and into dinner afterwards.
Three days later I took it to Phoenix for a conference at a resort. Temps over 105F. Looked sharp and cool there as well.
Very pleased. I highly recommend it.
Very breathable with great sun protection. I have the OR Crater lake hoodie sun shirt as well. This one is more breathable which for a runner in hot climates matters a lot.
Super thin waffle material that's slightly see through in a good way. You can wear it when it's super hot. This is my hack for not using sunscreen. It keeps my arms and neck sun free. I love it and would highly recommend.
This sun hoodie was worn throughout my entire 5 day backpacking trip in the Grand Tetons. The hoodie was super comfortable, kept me cool in the sun for hours, and loved how it looked. Love the options of opening up the buttons if needed and the hood stayed on during windy conditions.
In terms of sizing, I 5'8" and 165 lbs. I am always between a small and medium which makes it tricky pulling the trigger on a size. Since the medium was sold out, I was forced into buying a size small which honestly worked out perfectly.
Six days in Yosemite backcountry. No smells! slight piling from rocks.
I love my No Fry Hoodie Four Snap. I wear it for sun protection, whether I'm day hiking, or pulling weeds in the garden, or volunteering at the NorCal Resist Seeds of Solidarity urban farm in Sacramento. It's light. I do not usually wear hoodies, but I use the NoFry Hoodie with a hat for the sun protection. I even use the slits to protect my hand from the sun. If it had a pocket, I'd also consider it for backpacking because I need a shirt pocket for backpacking.
Love the sun hoodie..so thin and and breathable!
Love mowing in my sun hoodie.. Sooo much cooler!
Absolutely love this shirt. The buttons make the biggest difference between this and my OR echo hoodie. It does help you stay cooler when it’s hotter out.
We visited Rome and Athens in August 2026. Both cities reached 38ºC every day, and we were in the sun a lot. Instead of putting on sunblock on my arms and feeling sticky, and carrying a hat, I wore the NoFry Sun Hoodie. It worked out so well. I simply washed it in the shower every night, and it dried in the morning. Because of it, I did not wear four of the polo/T-shirts I packed. I also wore it on the long-haul flight. It felt like pajamas, and the long sleeves did not let the dry airplane air dry out the skin (of my arms).
Just took this backpacking on the TCT Catalina island and it held up great! Very breathable and light.
I love it! It is the lightest shirt I’ve ever had.
Feels and looks great . Matches the dirt stains in Sedona AZ!
I have taken the NoFry Hoodie on many hikes and trail runs in the Arizona summer heat! It has performed so well, keeping me cool and shaded.
Used this for the Habanero Hundred and I absolutely loved it. Very light, cool, and protected against a blazing sun in an August Texas race that started at noon. Highly recommend
