Top for backpacking daytime warm/hot weather:
150-ish gms, wool, 1/2 zip (1/4 ok), thumbholes, collared. I’m older and need sun protection at altitude and I like the way thumb-holed covers the back of my hands (prefer it to sunscreen).
I can’t seem to find this combination of features. I currently use an REI product that is perfect except that it’s polyester; thought I’d try wool if it’s possible.
Thanks!
gsm
.Wool fabric is measured by weight in grams per square metre (gsm) of the fabric. I wasn’t sure if your second post was asking what gsm meant so that is why I am posting this answer
do you want a hood also for more coverage?
I think the KUIU ultra merino 145 zip-t might meet your requirements. The page doesn’t mention thumb loops, but the pic looks like they’re included.
I wouldn’t use a hood. I’m thinking of pretty hot sierra days. Thanks
Thank you idester, Perfect!
Ordered.
I have the 145 Ultra Merino hoodie. Like the hood for sun protection and also little warmth in cool weather.
I think the hood makes sense for sun protection like Michael E says
Like in this photo of Craig Wisner that he posted of himself wearing the Patagonia Tropic Comfort Hoody IIÂ SEEKING ADVICE-BEST UL HOODIE FOR HOT WEATHER? .
I’ve never considered a hoody for shade because I’ve been rocking the old-guy-in-a-tilley-hat look, which if I’m honest, could explain why my wife doesn’t backpack with me.
I think I’ll give this Tropic Comfort a go.
