Collection: Women's Sun Shirts & Hoodies

Women's Sun Shirts & Hoodies — UPF Protection for Hiking, Backpacking & Trail Running

Outdoor Research women's sun shirts and hoodies — from long sleeve sun shirts to zip-up sun hoodies — deliver UPF 15 to UPF 50+ protection for hiking, trail running, climbing, paddling, and long days on exposed terrain. UPF works like SPF for fabric: every piece blocks harmful UV rays at the source, moves with your body, and breathes in the heat, so you can stay out longer without worrying about less sunburn or skin damage.

Find the Right Women's Sun Hoodie or Long Sleeve Sun Shirt

The Women's Echo Hoodie is the lightest option — a hiker favorite with thumb loops, a ponytail port, and a trim fit that layers cleanly under a pack. The Women's ActiveIce Spectrum Sun Hoodie steps up to UPF 50+ with ActiveIce™ thermoregulating technology that actively cools as your core temperature rises — the choice for glacier routes, desert hikes, or any day with sustained UV exposure. The Women's Astroman Air Sun Hoodie lands in between: UPF 30–50+ with four-way stretch and ventilation built for climbing and warm-weather approaches.

Built for Performance, Designed to Look Good Doing It

Sun protection doesn't mean sacrificing style. Outdoor Research women's sun shirts combine technical performance with flattering cuts and colorways that transition naturally from the trailhead to a post-hike lunch. Moisture-wicking fabrics pull sweat away from your skin, breathable panels and mesh construction keep air moving on hot climbs, and adjustable hoods give you coverage when you need it without bulk when you don't. Whether you're running an exposed ridge, paddling on a sunny lake, or grabbing coffee after a morning hike, these are pieces you'll actually want to wear.

Materials Built to Last

Flat seams prevent chafing on long days out, shaped hoods fit over a hat without blocking sightlines, and low-profile pockets sit cleanly under a pack hipbelt or climbing harness. These aren't single-season pieces: the construction and materials are chosen for durability across years of hard use, not just a few weekend trips.

Sun Shirts & Hoodies for Every Body and Every Adventure

The collection runs from XS through 4X across most styles, with fits ranging from trim and performance-oriented to relaxed cuts built for layering or casual wear. If you need maximum UV protection for high-altitude or high-reflection environments, the ActiveIce Spectrum Sun Hoodie is the pick. Every style is available in multiple colorways, with lighter shades optimized for heat reflection and darker tones offering enhanced UV absorption.
