FAQs

What does UPF 40+ mean?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor. A rating of 40+ means the fabric blocks at least 97.5% of the sun's harmful UV rays. This rating is inherent to the fabric and does not wash out.

Is this hoody suitable for cold weather?

The Capilene Cool Sun Hoody is designed for warm to hot weather and sun protection. While it offers some thermal layering, it is not insulated for cold conditions. It is best layered under warmer garments if needed in cooler temperatures.

How do I care for the recycled polyester fabric?

Machine wash cold with like colors, use a mild detergent, avoid bleach and fabric softeners, and tumble dry low or hang dry. Do not iron.

What activities is this hoody best suited for?

It is ideal for any activity with significant sun exposure and moderate to high exertion, such as paddling, hiking, fishing, trail running, and general outdoor recreation.

Does the sun protection wear off over time?

No, the UPF 40+ protection is achieved through the fabric's construction and is a permanent feature that will not diminish with washing or wear.

Can men and women wear this hoody?

Yes, the Capilene Cool Sun Hoody is designed with a unisex fit, suitable for adults of any gender.

Troubleshooting

Fabric feels less breathable after washing.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and have avoided fabric softeners. Residue from softeners can impact breathability. Rinse thoroughly and tumble dry on low.

Sun protection seems reduced.

The UPF 40+ protection is inherent to the fabric's construction and does not wash out. If you feel sunburned, ensure the garment is covering all exposed skin and consider if the fit is appropriate. Check for any damage to the fabric.

Garment is clinging or uncomfortable when wet.

This indicates the moisture-wicking properties are working. The fabric is designed to move moisture away from the skin. Ensure you have the correct size; a garment that is too tight may feel clingy.
