What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: "I like this for long days outside when sun exposure adds up. The UPF 50+ fabric gives real protection, and it’s noticeably softer and stretchier than most sun shirts. It wicks moisture well on warm hikes and dries quickly after water breaks. The hood and longer sleeves add coverage without overheating, and the flatlock seams keep it comfortable under a pack." From sunrise trailheads to afternoons on the water, we count on the Everyday SunSmart Hoodie from L. L. Bean to keep us cool and confidently covered. Designed to perform like activewear yet feel soft enough for daily wear, it’s the layer we reach for when the forecast calls for full sun. The buttery-soft blend of polyester, lyocell, and elastane delivers moisture-wicking, quick-dry performance with generous stretch for unrestricted movement. With UPF 50+ protection that blocks at least 97. 5% of UV rays, it shields us far beyond a basic tee. An adjustable hood, long sleeves, and a flattering tulip hem enhance coverage, while flatlock seams minimize chafing on longer adventures. Lightweight, breathable, and versatile, it’s built for every mile under the sun.
