What does UPF mean on this hoodie?

UPF is the fabric equivalent of SPF: it rates how much UV radiation passes through the cloth. Eddie Bauer rates this hoodie's fabric for sun protection, so it is meant for long days outside rather than as a warm layer.

Is it warm enough for cool weather?

No. It is a light sun-protection layer, not insulation. Treat it as coverage for hot, bright days and add a real midlayer when temperatures drop.

It is a regular fit, cut with room through the body and sleeves rather than slim. That leaves space to move and to layer a thin tee underneath.

Can I wear it under a backpack or helmet?

Yes, but the hood bunches under pack straps and helmet edges. Many wearers leave the hood down while carrying a load and pull it up at rest stops.

Does the sun protection wash out?

UPF in fabric comes from the weave and finish, and it can degrade with heavy wear and repeated washing. Wash gently and retire the hoodie when the fabric thins or stretches.

What colors does it come in?

It is offered in gray, white, honeydew and island blue, all solid. Check the buy box for what is in stock.

Our take on the Eddie Bauer Men's Sundrift UPF Long Sleeve Hoodie

The Eddie Bauer Sundrift is a men's long-sleeve hoodie built as sun protection: the fabric carries a UPF rating, so it blocks a large share of UV rays while staying light. The hood shields the neck and ears, and the regular cut leaves room to move. It suits hikers, anglers, boaters and anyone outdoors in strong sun who wants coverage without a heavy layer. Against plain sun shirts, the hood and the relaxed fit are the main draw; it is not a warm layer and not a rain shell.
