I just tried searching for these and I’m genuinely confused. Is it not just…a hoodie made of light material? I mean, surely most if not all clothing will stop you getting burnt.
Many materials like cotton will let sunlight through quite readily, especially when thin or wet. A sun hoodie has 50+ UPF. A cotton shirt that has a similar low thickness will have a mere 5 UPF, making it basically worthless for sun protection. Sun hoodies also often sport features like vents to catch breezes.
