The Kids' Sun Hoodie is a lightweight UPF 50+ hooded long sleeve top for children, built for beach days, holidays abroad and long afternoons outside. Put it on once in the morning and the fabric covers their arms, body, neck and ears all day, so the only sunscreen you keep reapplying is on their face.

Cut from a lightweight knit rated UPF 50+, with an integral hood and thumbhole cuffs, it sits easily over swim shorts rather than clinging like a wet rash vest, so it stays comfortable in the heat and goes straight back on after a swim. The fit is closer at 120cm to 140cm and more relaxed at 150cm and 160cm, so for a looser fit choose the next size up.

From the beach and the pool to the campsite, the park and the coast path, it is sun cover a child will actually keep on, and it shrinks the twice-hourly sunscreen chase down to a face and a pair of feet.

Key Features:

• UPF 50+ rated fabric blocks around 98% of UV rays across the arms, back, chest and shoulders, with no sunscreen to reapply on the skin it covers.
• Integral hood shades the ears, scalp and back of the neck, the spots a cap misses and the first spots to burn once the hat comes off.
• Thumbhole cuffs keep the sleeves down over the wrists and the backs of the hands while they dig, climb and swim.
• Lightweight breathable knit lets air move, which helps keep a covered child cooler in direct sun than bare skin.
• Pullover design with no zip and no pockets goes on in seconds and gives a child nothing to fiddle with or snag.
• Six solid colours including high-visibility Lime and Orange make them easy to spot on a crowded beach or campsite.
• Sized by height from 120cm to 160cm, so there is a size for roughly ages six to fourteen.

builds practical outdoor kit for people who would rather cover up than keep topping up, and now for their children too. Plain, unbranded and simple enough for a child to pull on themselves.

Pair it with our Men's or Women's UPF 50+ Sun Hoodie and the whole family is covered from hood to knuckle on the longest days out.
