"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""This is one of the lightest sun hoodies I own, and I wear it constantly—from trail runs to alpine missions. It dries fast, breathes even better, and the hood stays up when I need it. It’s one of those pieces that disappears when you’re wearing it, which is exactly what I want.""When we’re logging miles under the sun or gaining elevation fast, the Outdoor Research Echo Plus Hoodie keeps us cool, protected, and moving. Built with ultralight performance in mind, it delivers UPF 15+ sun protection and wicking comfort without slowing us down or weighing us down. Airy and soft against the skin, this hoodie excels at high-output activities like running, hiking, and fastpacking. The close-fitting hood layers easily under a helmet or hat, and the minimal construction means no bulk and no chafe—just breathable protection that works as hard as we do."
