When the plan includes sun from start to finish, we reach for the Tahoe Sun 1/4-Zip from Backcountry to stay covered without overheating. We wear it through steady climbs, breezy ridgelines, and slow afternoons by the water, trusting the lightweight fabric to keep us comfortable as temperatures rise. It’s a layer that adapts to the day instead of slowing it down. UPF 50+ protection blocks harsh rays while a breathable, quick-drying fabric keeps moisture from building up during movement. The quarter-zip design offers easy temperature control, and the soft stretch fabric and gusseted underarms move naturally whether we’re hiking, paddling, or driving. It’s a reliable go-to for long days when the sun doesn’t let up.
