    I can vouch for this.

    I own REI’s sun hoodie that I use for the singular purpose of doing yard work and it’s one of the best 50 bucks I’ve spent because it makes being in the sun all day tolerable. I am fortunate to have a yard big enough to garden and my first summer here I thought just throwing on some regular clothes(long sleeves, jeans) would do but I was miserable because cotton absorbs sweat and doesn’t breathe worth shit in the heat. Then I got the hoodie and it was night and day of a difference.

    It’s like when you go get a haircut and getting a bunch chopped off, that feeling of airy coolness right afterwards is probably the best way I can describe it. Made being outside in summer more comfortable and less of a slog.
