Men's PFG Solar Stream Moisture-Wicking UPF 50 Hoodie
Product details
Web ID: 16611569Great ventilation, poor material
Have like the PFG line as I have issues with sun exposure and require sun protection. The hoodie is light weight and breathable. Really like that. But unfortunately, snagging is huge problem. Wore it a couple times hiking and there are snags and pulls all over the arms and front just as others have reported. Now wearing it to cut the grass as it’s too ratty to wear anywhere else.

Sizing is not 100% accurate per the sizing chart
For me, the fit is great, and I like that the hood isn't super baggy. I wish there was a pocket though (like in the front for some gloves or keys). But it's a good trade off for it being cooler. I haven't tested it out yet, but from what I can tell, it meets the expectations I had when shopping online. And I'm happy to have a better fitting sun shirt with a hood. Having never ordered Columbia clothing, I wasn't sure what size to get, and the sizing chart was not super helpful. I took a gamble based on the size of a Columbia rain jacket I got once (from someone) and the fact that all retailers have bogus claims for their sizing (waist sizes for example are rarely accurate). I got XXL (proportionately larger than the "standard" sizes), which is different from 2X (a slightly different pattern based on the average bigger size men's body shapes). Based on the sizing chart, I should have gotten 3X. But keep in mind, I don't have the average bigger man's body shape. I'm glad I got the smaller size. I would guess the fit of this shirt is consistent with other Columbia clothing or even other retailers. But the sizing chart was not super helpful for me. Maybe I should have looked more seriously into the women's options, but I typically don't like how flared or short the waists can be and the typically lighter colors.

The title is kind long for me
Good hoodie the fabric is smooth and result comfortable.
Snagging is a real issue. Poor fabric design.
The reviews reporting snagging of the fabric are correct and I think the fabric construction style is inherently flawed. I ignored the reviews and ordered this hoodie for a Grand Canyon through hike. I dislike solid fabric sun hoodies for lack of ventilation and preferred the ventilated fabric of the PFG Solar Stream Hoodie. It was a great benefit during the hike, but I noticed the sleeves and front of the shirt had snags from Velcro and other general backpack closures. I chuckle at the idea a fella is on a boat using it as a fishing guide as in the Columbia website pictures. It would snag from hooks and all other types of items in the first hour. Unfortunately, this is a one time purchase of this item. It was airy and great for cooling, but due to all the snags on it, I only plan to use it for yard work now and will not wear it out during public events.

Poor quality garment.
Very bad quality. never laundried, wore 1 time and it picks and pulls threads at everything it touches. Not sure what use it might be good for but definitely not made for outdoor use, fishing activity or any activity where you might contact it against something.
