The Adventures of the Sun Safe Hoodie: Your Ultimate UPF 50+ Travel Companion

Where Will You Take Your Hoodie?

For years, I dreamt of the perfect sun-protective cover-up. As a Stage IV Melanoma survivor, I do my best to stay out of direct sunlight, but sometimes shade isn’t available, and sunscreen just isn’t enough (or, let’s be honest, gets forgotten). I needed something effortlessly stylish, ultra-soft, and lightweight—yet protective enough to shield my skin.

And so, after years of searching for the perfect non-synthetic, non-chemical-treated fabric, I found it: a luxurious, sustainably sourced material made from tree bark. It's naturally sun-safe, breathable, and doesn’t rely on chemical coatings to do its job.

What is UPF, and Why Does It Matter?

UPF stands for Ultraviolet Protection Factor, and a rating of 50+ means that only 1/50th of the sun’s UV radiation can penetrate the fabric. That’s 98% UV blockage—an essential barrier, especially for those of us who are sun-sensitive, recovering from skin cancer, or just want to stay protected without slathering on sunscreen every hour.

Introducing the Sun Safe Hoodie

A true game-changer in sun protection, our UPF 50+ Sun Safe Hoodie is as versatile as it is protective. Designed with a poncho-style silhouette, it drapes beautifully over sundresses, tank tops, and swimsuits. Whether worn alone or layered, it provides effortless coverage without bulk.

What Makes This Hoodie a Must-Have?

• Ultimate Sun Protection: UPF 50+ fabric naturally blocks harmful UV rays—no chemical additives needed.

• TENCEL™ Luxe Fabric: Sustainably made from renewable tree bark, it's biodegradable, breathable, and gentle on sensitive skin.

• Soft & Breathable: Buttery-soft, lightweight material keeps you cool and comfortable.

• Thoughtful Design: High collar, oversized hood, and extended sleeves with thumbholes protect your neck, face, and hands.

• Versatile & Travel-Friendly: Doubles as a stylish cropped top, cozy flight essential, and breezy cover-up for any adventure.

• Sustainably Made: Crafted with eco-conscious values—no synthetics, no toxins, just pure plant-based innovation.
