FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

Do sun hoodies keep you warm?

The Full Sun Hoody by Vertx utilizes 37.5® Technology to manage your microclimate. This means it will help keep you warm or cool depending on the external environment. 37.5® Technology will help keep your body at its optimal levels of 37.5% humidity and 37.5 degrees Celsius. If your body is cooler than this temperature, the technology will reflect your body's IR back to you. If it is warmer, it will disperse the heat as vapor, meaning you sweat less and stay cooler without exerting as much energy.

What is the best material to block out the sun?

The best material to block out the sun is any UPF-rated fabric. The Vertx Full Sun Hoody is rated at 40+ UPF rating, meaning that it blocks 98% of the sun's UV rays.

Should sun hoodies be tight or loose

Sun hoodies can be either tight or loose. The Vertx Sun Hoody is a looser fit; but has a fitted hood so that it can fit under a hat, over, or with no hat. It secures snugly to your head. The body is a standard shirt fit, but can easily be tucked in to create a more fitted shirt option.

Does UPF clothing really work?

Yes, UPF clothing works great. The sun's UV rays can be extremely damaging to your skin. The Vertx Full Sun Hoody is built to be your sun defense shirt year-round due to its 37.5® Technology. Whether you're on the mountain, at the range, on a boat, or in the yard; the Vertx Full Sun Hoody will block 98% of all the sun's harmful UV rays.
