Enjoy an expensive learning moment for Sambob, with a great layer at an outrageously good price!

WE MESSED UP! We inverted the fabric on this batch! These hoodies were sewn with the wrong side of the fabric facing out. They’re still functionally amazing (read below), but do snag very easily because of our mistake. Instead of selling them at full price and expecting returns, we’re being upfront about our mistake and offering a major price cut, but no returns. We’ll remedy this mistake for future batches coming next spring!

Product Description: The (Inverted) Basin Sun Hoodie is for those looking for feather-light sun protection. Though quite delicate (and highly snag prone) due to its Ultralight properties, this hoodie can last a full thru-hike and more, as demonstrated in the prototyping stage this year! 

Use case and fit: These hoodies are ideal for keeping the sun off in the heat of the summer when you’d like to feel like you’re wearing nothing at all! They feature a deep hood, casual fit, and four distinct colorways.

Fabric tech: The Basin Sun Hoodie is made from an ultralight version of Polartec© Delta™ fabric, which provides UPF 15 sun protection (blocking 93% of UV rays) and is designed to keep you cool by dispersing moisture away from the skin, improving breathability and minimizing cling from sweat. It is essentially a fine mesh, allowing for air to pass through easily. Of course this also means it’s a bit less protective than the Coastal and Alpine Sun Hoodies, as they use heavier, more robust fabrics. 

Hoodie care: Wash cold and hang dry.

Fabric content: 52% polyester, 44% lyocell, 4% spandex

Fabric weight: 3.4 oz/yd² (Wide Large is 6oz)

Breathable, lightweight, but does snag

Very breathable and lightweight. As advertised (greatly appreciate the honesty!), the material does snag quite easily, so I won’t bring it on a thru, but I’ve been loving it for climbing. The hood fits over my helmet and it’s a great light layer that keeps me cool while I’m moving and pretty comfortable while hanging out on a belay ledge

Great feel but should have sized up more

Love the colors and feels good to wear! The hood drapes over my head down to my eyes so the coverage is perfect. The length I guess I should have measured twice because my large fits like a small shirt.I’m 5’11 170lbs slim build and it stops just at waistline and an inch above my hands. Not a big deal but I like sun hoodies a little looser fit when active.

Hey Ben! Looks like you ordered a narrow large, which will fit more like a women's large (as noted on the size chart). So sounds like a wide large would have been the size for you!

Fantastic addition to the market

One of the best sun hoodies on the market! Potentially even better with the fabric inverted if I'm being honest - the right side of the fabric is softer than the wrong side and is a very pleasant sensory experience against the skin. Seams sit nicely, doesn't ride up constantly, breathable and cozy!

A very nice piece, especially for the price

Very light. Well constructed. Fit is spot on.
Not sure if the non inverted version is worth regular price. Seems a bit high, esp given tougher sun hoodies by other companies are cheaper.
