Paddle North Sun Blockers are lightweight UPF 40 sun hoodies built for people who spend their summers on the water. Whether you call it a sun hoodie, a UPF shirt, or a UV rash guard, the job is the same; block 97.5% of UV rays so you can stay out longer without reapplying sunscreen every hour.

Every Sun Blocker is cut from a stretchy, breathable polyester knit that wicks sweat, dries fast, and moves with you. Thumb holes anchor the sleeves over the back of your hands, and the hood layers easily under a ball cap for full neck and ear coverage. They're sized true-to-fit in men's S–XXL and women's XS–XXL, and they come in four colorways — Graphite, Taconite, Arctic Loon, and Woodland Loon.

Built for: Stand-up paddleboarding, kayaking, kayak fishing, canoeing, hiking, lake days, beach trips, and any summer day where the sun is doing the most.

Why a sun hoodie beats sunscreen alone: UPF clothing doesn't sweat off, doesn't need reapplication, and covers the spots most people miss: the back of the neck, ears, and hands. Pair a Sun Blocker with a hat and sunglasses and your shoulders, arms, and neck are covered for the whole paddle.
