This is the best way to keep your face and eyes protected while surfing. The amount of strain I save my eyes and the level of sun I keep off my face from wearing a hood surfing is definitely noticeable. I love wearing this in all size surf - hats always fall off in anything bigger than knee high- my hoodie works in all conditions- plus I can wear it in the summer with my Lycra long sleeve and in the winter with my wetsuit. Love love love this top.

Wow- what else can I say? The optional hoodie is such a winner. A piece that saved me in the Caribbean sun with zero shade anywhere - this gorgeous top came to perfect play in and out of the water !! 34 A bought a yellow small and love the color and fit. Able to secure it over a cap or over head with adjustable strings (windy). Also able to get a long sleeve sun protection shirt and slip right on top and still cool off and protect my face with the beloved hoodie. Kiting was blissfully done and the top stayed on, no issues with fit. No extra layers on the front, such as cups etc just makes it a bit more revealing but not bad at all.

When I first saw these, I didn’t think I’d want one as I usually cover up completely with a light weight hooded sun shirt if I need sun coverage. BUT, I had the opportunity to try one on, thought I’d roll with it, wore it for the first time and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. The hood is top notch. I was hanging out at the river for a whole day, half in, half out for a lot of the day and popping the hood up protected my face but let me stay cool in just a bathing suit (without having extra loose sun shirt layers in the water). I love the design, and I’m a total hood-on-a-bathing-suit convert. I’d love a long sleeve version, next (oh wait, do those already exist?). I can’t wait to surf in it in warm water, being able to put the hood up while I'm waiting for waves and have the option to let it flow free during the action—best of all worlds. I would say I’m slim, am a small and a half size in most things, but I have pretty broad shoulders, so a Medium fits me great.

Love it - I got one for myself in pink and then another in yellow for friend because wanted to share the joy. The hoodie is playful, stylish and offers extra sun coverage

I absolutely love this top! I am a repeat customer and I usually purchase a size medium in the Colleen top, however it was a tad too big and I had to go down a size to a small for this top but love the fit once I did! It's not too snug, nor too tight. No pinch points for me thus far! Holds the gals in and adds a refreshing hot vibrant vibe to my outdoor adventures. The hoodie is just so fun! Such a great top for outdoor play- SUP-ing, biking, hiking and of course kiting! Highly recommend! <3Mel
