I got the hoodie to wear while hiking in the Florida sun. I was worried that I was going to be hot and sweaty in the hoodie. I am no more hot or sweaty in the hoodie than I was wearing a short sleeve shirt. Actually, I think I feel a bit cooler while wearing it. The sun stays off me. The hood is larger than you would expect. However, I think it is large on purpose to provide additional airflow to keep you a bit cooler while wearing it as opposed to a traditional hood. I plan on ordering a couple more.
