Alpha™ Direct 120 Hoodie - Mens

100+ degrees in the Sonoran Desert.

I brought this and another similarly priced cutting edge sun shirt to the Superstition Wilderness to test some choices for company apparel/uniform. When compared with what I brought (which performed wonderfully) and every other sun shirt that I have ever used, the Sun Seeker shines bright and above them all. I was skeptical of the “waffle knit” texture on the skin under heavy backpack straps, but after 3 days in 100 degree heat my shoulders were perfect. Tall sizes!!!! Also, for winter use, I wear merino close to my skin and a sun shirt over that to help wick then evaporate moisture from my the merino. Coming into spring now so I can’t say first hand… but this shirt will likely excel for this purpose!

Great fit. Love the texture. Warm down to only 50 degrees fahrenheit.

Love the cut and the material. I haven't exercised or hiked in it yet, so I haven't experienced the full range of it's technical abilities, but even the slightest breeze is felt through it. I def wear with a long sleeve wool base underneath. I like the way it can compress in a bag.

Fast shipping, well made, sharp color, cozy, and light as a feather
