I love the hooded version because it protects the delicate neckline better than a scoop-neck shirt. The polka dots make the shirt a bit more dressy than my other, very sporty, sun shirts, and it pairs better with a skirt or pareo for the beach. I'll be getting a lot of wear out of this!

This color goes with almost anything, which makes it an excellent sun hoody/coverup for any outfit! Having more space around the neck area in the hood would be nice, as I find it slightly constricting when I wear my hair in braids down the front. This hoody performs so well for water sports and is incredibly durable when wearing a PFD over it. Please note that I received this product to try as an employee of Carve Designs.

I live in Miami and kayak, SUP, and snorkel often. This shirt is comfortable enough to wear before, during, and after activities. It is light weight and provides full sun/wind protection (love the hood) while paddling, while being not-too-clingy so I can wear with shorts or pants on my way to/from the water. Going to bring it on an upcoming trip to Polynesia as a multi-functional staple. Also love the yellow! It’s very bright without being glaring neon—goes beautifully with blues, greens, and purples.
