"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I grabbed this for a young hiker in my family for a summer backpacking trip and the UPF 40+ coverage meant one less thing to worry about on long sunny days above treeline. The thumbholes kept the sleeves in place during scrambles and it dried out fast enough after creek crossings that they never complained about being wet.""Kids move fast, and sun protection that requires constant reapplication cannot keep up. The Patagonia Capilene Silkweight Hoodie builds UPF 40+ protection directly into the fabric so young adventurers stay covered through full days on the trail, at the beach, or anywhere the summer takes them. Recycled polyester and spandex construction wicks moisture and dries fast after water play, creek crossings, and the kind of sweaty effort that comes with being a kid who never slows down. A three-panel fixed hood and tall collar extend coverage over the neck and head on exposed terrain, and integrated thumbholes keep sleeves in place during active scrambling without bunching or riding up. The lightweight stretch fabric moves with every reach, climb, and jump without restriction, and flat seams keep things comfortable through long days of nonstop wear. Fair Trade Certified construction means the same care that goes into the adventure goes into making the gear that supports it."
